Entire Stateline remains under a Dense Fog Advisory

 

The wintry weather from Tuesday morning has moved out but clouds, fog, and even drizzle will persist through much of the evening. Dense fog will develop overnight and that's why we have a Dense Fog Advisory now in place for northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin.

The weather pattern the next few days will remain active with several storm systems impacting the Midwest and Great Lakes. The next one moves in late Tuesday night and could bring a brief period of light freezing rain before quickly changing over to rain showers Wednesday morning. For most, temperatures will remain above freezing. However, there could be some locations where the air temperature drops to 31 or 32 degrees. If so, the freezing rain may linger a little longer during the morning before transitioning over to all rain mid-morning. The impacts from any freezing rain that may develop should be less than what they were Tuesday morning, but slick conditions on untreated surfaces such as parking lots, sidewalks, and driveways are still possible. Be careful on bridges and overpasses as well.

The rain showers will come to an end by the afternoon as temperatures warm once again into the middle 30s, but areas of drizzle will persist through the evening. We will then see fog redevelop Wednesday night, becoming dense again through Thursday morning.

Rainfall totals Wednesday will add up to a quarter of an inch, with drizzle expected by the afternoon. The next round of rain moves in Thursday with another quarter of an inch. The weather pattern begins to settle down some by the end of the week, but we'll keep the cloud cover around through at least the weekend.
