...WINTRY MIX OF PRECIPITATION EXPECTED FROM SUNDAY MORNING
THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT...
A WINTRY MIX OF SLEET...SNOW AND FREEZING WILL DEVELOP OVER NORTH
CENTRAL ILLINOIS SUNDAY MORNING AND THEN SPREAD ACROSS THE REST OF
NORTHERN ILLINOIS AND NORTHWEST INDIANA...INCLUDING THE CHICAGO
METRO AREA...SUNDAY AFTERNOON. SURFACE TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED
TO INITIALLY BE IN THE UPPER 20S BUT WILL GRADUALLY WARM INTO THE
LOWER 30S SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENTUALLY INTO THE MIDDLE 30S
SUNDAY NIGHT. SOME SLEET AND ICE ACCUMULATION WILL BE POSSIBLE
BEFORE THE PRECIPITATION TRANSITIONS TO ALL LIQUID RAIN. BUT AT
THIS TIME...IT IS TOO DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE SPECIFIC AMOUNTS...
GIVEN THE UNCERTAINTY OF HOW FAST SURFACE TEMPERATURES WILL WARM
ABOVE FREEZING. ANYONE WITH TRAVEL PLANS SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH
SUNDAY NIGHT SHOULD CONTINUE TO MONITOR LATER FORECASTS FOR THIS
POTENTIAL WINTRY MIX OF PRECIPITATION.
