...Snow and Wind Could Impact Travel through Early Tuesday...

Scattered snow showers will affect the area through early evening.
The main impact from these will be reduced visibility, possibly
down under one mile at times under the heaviest snow showers. A
dusting to a couple tenths of inch of snow may be possible on any
untreated road surfaces, which may cause patchy slick spots.

Later this evening through early Tuesday morning, an area of snow
will gradually drift southward across the region. Accumulations of
up to one to two inches are expected along and north of a Mendota
IL to Medaryville IN line. Localized amounts up to three inches
are possible near the Wisconsin state line. Strong westerly winds
will gust to 30 to 40 mph through the night, with the potential
for sporadic 40 to 45 mph gusts this evening. The strong winds
could eventually cause patchy blowing snow in open areas. Expect
any untreated roads to become snow or slush covered due to the
snow tonight into Tuesday morning.

Motorists are advised to check road conditions and leave extra
travel time. Prepare for some travel impacts to the Tuesday
morning commute. When driving on snow or slush covered roads,
reduce speed and increase following distance between other
vehicles.
