...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 FRIDAY
MORNING...ENDING LAST IN NORTHEAST ILLINOIS AND NORTHWEST INDIANA.
ONCE THE SNOW BEGINS...THERE COULD BE A BRIEF PERIOD WHERE THE
FLUFFY...CRYSTALLINE SNOW INCREASES IN INTENSITY. 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...THE SNOW THAT FALLS
WILL ACCUMULATE...EVEN ON PAVEMENT SURFACES. SLIPPERY CONDITIONS
ARE LIKELY ON UNTREATED ROADS AS THE SNOW MOVES ACROSS THE AREA
LATE TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY MORNING...IMPACTING THE FRIDAY MORNING
COMMUTE. THIS IS ESPECIALLY THE CASE IN THE CHICAGO METRO
AREA...WHERE SNOW IS EXPECTED TO BE ONGOING DURING THE MORNING
RUSH HOURS. CONTINUE TO MONITOR FOR UPDATED FORECASTS ON THIS
EXPECTED SNOW EVENT AND BE PREPARED TO ENCOUNTER WINTER DRIVING
CONDITIONS DURING THE FRIDAY MORNING COMMUTE.
