This system has high bust potential, with such a tight gradient of snow expected on the northern edge of the system. As the forecast stands now, the heaviest snow will fall near the Quad Cities and near the Mississippi River, and will drastically drop the farther east that you go. In Freeport I think a few inches are possible, while closer to Rockford around an inch is likely. However, the area in between the dashed lines is the area with the highest uncertainty in regards to snow totals. The farther east you go, expect little to no accumulation. Heaviest snow is possible near the Sterling area.


The timing of the snow looks to arrive in the evening, around midnight, and will last mostly into tomorrow late morning. The far southwest areas of the Stateline will hold onto the threat for snow through the afternoon. Recent model runs have shifted this system to the southwest however, and that trend could continue with model runs this evening as well. Recent runs have greatly reduced the amount of snow Rockford will see.
We will continue to update you though as we get closer to the snow arrival. Stay tuned for more updates!
