...PERIOD OF HEAVY WET SNOW EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON...
A BAND OF MODERATE TO HEAVY WET SNOW IS EXPECTED TO SET UP ACROSS
FAR NORTHERN ILLINOIS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. THIS LOOKS TO RESULT
IN ABOUT A 2 TO 4 HOUR PERIOD OF SNOW...BEFORE ABATING BY EARLY
THIS EVENING. ALTHOUGH TEMPERATURES STILL REMAIN A FEW DEGREES
ABOVE FREEZING ACROSS THE AREA...TEMPERATURES WILL LIKELY DROP TO
NEAR FREEZING AS THE HEAVY SNOW ONSETS. DUE TO THE HEAVY NATURE OF
THE SNOW...IT WILL LIKELY REDUCE THE VISIBILITY TO A QUARTER MILE
OR LESS AT TIMES...AND MAY RESULT IN SOME QUICK ACCUMULATIONS OF
AN INCH OR TWO...ESPECIALLY ON GRASSY AREAS AND ELEVATED SURFACES.
MOTORISTS ACROSS THE AREA ARE URGED TO USE EXTRA CAUTION AND
ALLOW EXTRA TIME WHILE TRAVELING THIS AFTERNOON.
