Monday Winter Weather Advisory

The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for the entire Stateline area. The advisory going into effect for Jo Daviess, Stephenson, Carroll, and Whiteside counties at 6am on Monday morning. The advisory will go into effect for Green, Rock, and Walworth counties at 9am, and Winnebago, Boone, Ogle, Lee, and DeKalb counties at noon. The advisory for all counties goes until midnight on Monday.

A strong cold front will pass Monday morning allowing a surge of cold air into the Stateline. The rain overnight will change to snow in the morning from west to east through the early afternoon. Hazards with this system will be snow and blowing snow, with winds gusting from the west up to 35mph. Snow fall totals will reach  3-5" in the afternoon and evening. The blowing snow will greatly reduce visibilites at times and make roads slick, so use caution while out. High temperatures on Monday will be near 40° early, but once the cold front passes, temperatures will drop into the upper 20s by the afternoon. Strong winds will also allow for wind chills in the upper teens in the afternoon.

Make sure to check back, as we will continue to update about this system.
