All eyes have been focused on the forecast over the last few days with hints of an incoming storm system that could possibly impact travel locally for the Thanksgiving holiday. And while some precipitation is possibly over the next few days for the Stateline, it does appear that highest impacts will occur outside of the viewing area during that time.
Other than the cold Monday night and Tuesday morning, travel impacts will be limited from a precipitation standpoint Tuesday. We'll actually see some sunshine before cloud cover moves back in Tuesday evening. Temperatures starting out in the 20s during the morning, and wind chills in the teens, will rise into the upper 30s during the afternoon. Northwest winds will remain breezy from time to time - gusting around 20 mph during the afternoon. Cloud cover will begin to increase Tuesday evening ahead of a few light snow flurries/showers that'll move into northern Illinois early Wednesday. This precipitation won't be much but could cause some slick conditions on some of the roads during the early morning commute.
Low pressure developing near Texas and Oklahoma Wednesday will travel east/northeast towards western Kentucky and Tennessee by early Thursday. This southern track will keep the bulk of precipitation in central and southern Illinois, with limited impactful precipitation in northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin. However, I'm still holding on to a small chance for a light mix during the afternoon and evening to account for any shift back north over the next day or two. Temperatures on Wednesday will briefly warm into the low 40s before falling into the 30s for Thanksgiving Day.
Winds turn back around to the northwest Thursday which may allow a few flurries or light snow showers to develop, especially during the afternoon and evening. Northwest winds will continue into Friday and Saturday with lake effect snow showers on the other side of Lake Michigan.
