...PERIODS OF SNOW TONIGHT...
SNOW WILL CONTINUE TO SPREAD ACROSS NORTHERN ILLINOIS LATE THIS
EVENING AND ACROSS NORTHWEST INDIANA BY MIDNIGHT. SNOWFALL RATES
OF UP TO ONE HALF INCH PER HOUR WILL BE POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY
NORTH OF INTERSTATE 80. THIS WILL LIKELY RESULT IN DRASTICALLY
REDUCED VISIBILITIES UNDER 1 MILE...AND 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 SOUTHEAST 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 TONIGHT SHOULD BE PREPARED FOR
DETERIORATING CONDITIONS ALONG WITH SLICK SNOW COVERED ROADS.
