...PERIODS OF SNOW EXPECTED TONIGHT...
A WEATHER DISTURBANCE WILL DROP SOUTHEASTWARD ACROSS THE AREA
TONIGHT. THIS WILL RESULT IN PERIODS OF SNOW TONIGHT ACROSS THE
AREA. THE SNOW IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST
THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS. ONCE THE SNOW BEGINS IT COULD FALL AT
A DECENT RATE AT TIMES...WITH AMOUNTS OF UP TO A HALF INCH PER
HOUR POSSIBLE. THIS WILL LIKELY RESULT IN DRASTICALLY REDUCED
VISIBILITIES UNDER 1 MILE...AND THE RAPID ACCUMULATION OF SNOW ON
AREA ROADS. THE HIGHEST SNOWFALL AMOUNTS SHOULD FALL ACROSS
NORTHERN ILLINOIS AND NORTHWESTERN INDIANA...GENERALLY ALONG AND
NORTHEAST OF A LINE FROM NEAR DIXON SOUTHEASTWARD THROUGH MORRIS
TO RENSSELAER INDIANA. A TOTAL OF 2 TO 4 INCHES IS EXPECTED...WITH
LESSER AMOUNTS SOUTH AND WEST OF THIS LINE. THE SNOW WILL QUICKLY
TAPER OFF FROM WEST TO EAST SATURDAY MORNING.
THOSE PLANNING TRAVEL ACROSS THE AREA TONIGHT SHOULD BE PREPARED
FOR RAPIDLY DETERIORATING CONDITIONS LATER THIS EVENING...ALONG WITH
SLICK SNOW COVERED ROADS.
