Wind advisory in place across northern Illinois as snow pushes through

Friday Morning Snow: 

Snow associated with the same low pressure system that produced Thursday evening's rain will rotate into the area as the morning goes on. Some of these snow showers will be heavier than other, with the highest coverage northwest of Rockford.

  

Wind Advisory:

Pavement temperatures will still be too warm for icy spots to develop. However, a WIND ADVISORY  will go into effect area-wide around the start of this morning's commute. This mean we'll be contending with strong westerly winds at the same time the snow showers are pivoting through the region. These conditions may lead to wind-whipped snow showers and occasional fluctuations in visibility. The advisory is set to last until 4PM this afternoon.  

Weekend Forecast: 

Cloud cover and a decent breeze stick around for the upcoming weekend. With this cloud cover may come the chance for a scattered flurry or two. Otherwise, expect temperatures to drop below average, landing in the upper 20s by Sunday afternoon.
