Late Season Snow Comes to an End Sunday Evening

A late season snowstorm brought over half a foot of snow to some in northern Illinois Sunday afternoon and evening.

The heaviest snow came down over McHenry, Ogle, Lee and DeKalb counties where anywhere from five to eight inches of snow was recorded.  Northwest of that line snowfall totals were considerably less.  The snow will continue to come to an end from west to east between 6pm and 8pm Sunday evening.  There may still be a few flurries that linger into the evening but skies should turn partly cloudy overnight.  Temperatures will fall into the mid to upper 20s by Monday morning.

Quite a bit of warm air will move in from the west and southwest just above the surface Monday, but the warmth will be tempered a little by the snow still on the ground.  Good news, however, the snow won't last more than a day or two.  Highs on Monday will warm back into the 40s, to near 50 degrees.
