New Freeze Warnings in Place - Light Snow Falling to the West

A cold front is moving through northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin Sunday evening and will work to bring temperatures from the upper 40's, down into the low 30's by Monday morning.  A Freeze Warning will go into effect for Stephenson, Jo Daviess and Carroll counties beginning at 3am Monday morning.

Light rain showers have been developing directly behind the front from Wisconsin down through Missouri, but snow has also been mixing in where temperatures have fallen into the low 30's.  Already a light dusting of snow has been observed over Wisconsin and parts of Iowa, and even down in the panhandle of Oklahoma!!  As the cold front continues to move east overnight, cooler air will funnel into the Stateline and this may help to support some light flurries or brief light snow showers for some during the overnight - most likely between 1am and 4am.  Don't worry, though, because accumulating snow is not expected.  Already some of the snow on the backside of the precipitation is beginning to break apart in eastern Iowa as dry air is also moving in.

Any accumulating snow will remain to the north in Wisconsin and back further to the west over Iowa.  If any light snow were to stick in northwest Illinois, it would most likely be on grassy surfaces.  With temperatures falling near freezing by Monday morning, however, there could be some slight spots on elevated surfaces.  Something to keep in mind during the morning commute.
