Travel impacts from the latest blizzard continue into our Tuesday morning. As of 4:00AM , roads in a few Stateline counties including Stephenson, Carroll, and DeKalb County remain completely covered in snow and ice, especially in open areas. If you're heading out, be sure to use extra caution.
If you plan to celebrate St. Patrick's Day even further, make sure to bundle up. The bitter cold settling in behind Monday's blizzard will make for a harsh start to the day, with wind chills hovering around 10° below zero. Even by this afternoon, wind chills will only "improve" to about 10°, and high temperatures will struggle to reach the 20° mark. Cloud cover will gradually increase into the evening as our next storm system approaches from the northwest.
Forecast models show this weaker system sliding in overnight tonight, bringing the chance for scattered snow showers ahead of Wednesday's morning commute. While this won't be a major storm or compare to Monday's blizzard, it will be enough to lay down widespread 1"-3" totals. Expect slick and potentially slow travel early Wednesday. Overnight lows will briefly drop into the upper teens, then climb back into the 20s by Wednesday morning.
