Light snow chances across northern Illinois taper off early

Scattered Snow Early:

Snow is still falling this morning as a weak storm system moves across the western Great Lakes. While totals have been minor, the snow that has fallen so far has been enough to leave roads in some counties partially covered. Those heading out early will need to give themself extra travel time. 

 

Snow chances should taper off before mid-morning, giving way to dry but partly cloudy conditions for the afternoon hours. The sunshine will give temperatures more of a boost than Tuesday, leaving afternoon highs just short of the 40-degree mark. 

 

  

Another Weak System:

Northwest flow continues to dominate the upper-level pattern, steering another weak disturbance in the direction of northern Illinois. Forecast models remain quite scattered with how much precipitation this system will produce, leaving us with just a chance for a few showers into Thursday morning.
