7PM UPDATE: While most of the wintry precipitation has pulled South and out of the area, a stray flurry may still be possible through 9-10PM. Clouds will continue to thin out, allowing temperatures to drop back to the teens and near single digits overnight. Wind chills could near zero.
5PM UPDATE: The steadier band of snow has reached Beloit with more significant drops in visibility noted. A coating of snow or even possibly some sleet may be possible within the heavier band of precipitation along the front. Be cautious of slick spots this evening regardless!
Precipitation has been fairly light so far, but a brief round of steady to heavy snow showers will be possible between now and 6PM from North to South across the Stateline along a sharp cold front. Quick drops in visibility and a coating of snow will be possible.
Snow showers will exit the area to the South after 7PM, clearing things out a bit through the evening. Temperatures will then drop to the single digits overnight. Slick spots will be likely, especially on untreated surfaces as temperatures fall quickly overnight.
So, for those ringing in the New Year out and about, you will want the extra layer as wind chills may feel closer to zero at times through the night. Winds will ease a bit after midnight, but temperatures will drop near the single digits for overnight lows. This will allow for any untreated surfaces to freeze over rather quickly, so be cautious of those as you head home!
