...Late Season Accumulating Snow on Sunday...
A strong spring storm system will likely bring an accumulation of
very wet and slushy snow to portions of northern Illinois and
extreme northwest Indiana on Sunday. The heaviest snowfall rates
are expected to occur from a bit prior to sunrise through mid day
or the early afternoon, with lower intensities during the
afternoon. The snow will end by early evening. There will likely
be a fairly narrow band where these heavy snowfall rates of up to
one inch per hour are most persistent. Exactly where this sets
up, two to four inches of accumulation are likely on colder or
elevated surfaces, with locally higher amounts possible.
With warm road temperatures and the strong April sun, roads will
likely be mainly wet most of the time. However, it's possible that
some slush may cover bridges or overpasses and less traveled
roadways during the heaviest snowfall. While overall lack of
accumulation on roads may limit the magnitude of travel impacts,
visibility will likely be sharply reduced at times. In addition,
northerly winds gusting up to 25 to 35 mph could plaster the very
wet and heavy snow onto elevated surfaces, including tree
branches, so minor tree damage is possible. Motorists are advised
to prepare for potentially adverse travel conditions on Sunday.
Continue to stay tuned for the latest forecast updates.
