...ACCUMULATING SNOW LATE TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY MORNING...
A FAST MOVING WEATHER SYSTEM WILL BRING A PERIOD OF SNOW TO THE
AREA FROM LATE TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY MORNING. SNOW WILL DEVELOP FROM
WEST TO EAST AFTER MIDNIGHT AND TAPER OFF FROM THE WEST EARLY TO
MID FRIDAY MORNING...ENDING LAST IN NORTHEAST ILLINOIS AND
NORTHWEST INDIANA. ONCE THE SNOW BEGINS...THERE COULD BE A THREE
HOUR OR SO PERIOD WHERE THE FLUFFY SNOW COMES DOWN AT A MODERATE
CLIP. SNOW ACCUMULATIONS WILL RANGE FROM UP TO AN INCH ALONG A
PAXTON TO DIXON LINE TO 2 TO AS MUCH AS 3 INCHES IN NORTHEAST
ILLINOIS AND EXTREME NORTHWEST INDIANA.
WITH COLD AIR IN PLACE ACROSS THE REGION...SNOW WILL LIKELY HAVE
NO TROUBLE ACCUMULATING...EVEN ON PAVEMENT SURFACES. SOME SLIPPERY
ROAD CONDITIONS CAN THUS BE EXPECTED AS THE SNOW MOVES ACROSS THE
AREA LATE TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY MORNING...WHICH WILL LIKELY IMPACT
THE FRIDAY MORNING COMMUTE. THIS IS ESPECIALLY THE CASE IN THE
CHICAGO METRO AREA...WHERE SNOW IS EXPECTED TO BE ONGOING DURING
THE COMMUTE. CONTINUE TO MONITOR LATER FORECASTS ON THIS EXPECTED
SNOW EVENT AND BE PREPARED FOR ENCOUNTERING WINTER DRIVING
CONDITIONS DURING THE FRIDAY MORNING COMMUTE.
