This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of North Central
Illinois...Northeast Illinois and Northwest Indiana.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight.

Weather hazards expected...

Elevated Non thunderstorm wind Risk.

DISCUSSION...

Strong and gusty southerly winds are expected to develop later
this morning and into the afternoon. Wind gusts of 45 to 50 mph
will be possible south of a La Salle to DeMotte, IN line where a
Wind Advisory is in effect.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday.

Friday Night...
Elevated Flooding Risk.
Limited Non Thunderstorm Wind Risk.
Elevated Ice Accumulation Risk.
Elevated Snow and Sleet Risk.
Elevated Lakeshore Flood Risk.

Saturday through Saturday Night...
Elevated Flooding Risk.
Elevated Non Thunderstorm Wind Risk.
Elevated Ice Accumulation Risk.
Significant Snow and Sleet Risk.
Significant Lakeshore Flood Risk.

DISCUSSION:

There is an increasing potential for a potent storm system to
impact the region late Friday through Saturday night and possibly
through Sunday morning. At this time, notable ice accumulation is
a possibility across portions of north central and far
northeastern Illinois late Friday night and Saturday morning.
Accumulating snow and sleet is also possible for the area
on Saturday and Saturday Night. However, there is still a good
deal of uncertainty with the track and strength of the storm
system, which will ultimately influence snow and ice accumulations
and what areas are affected.

Strong north to northeasterly winds are expected to develop Friday
night which will build waves, potentially bringing a significant
risk for lakeshore flooding late Friday night through Saturday
night.

Finally, waves of moderate to occasionally heavy rainfall may
result in a risk for flooding for locales roughly south and east
of I-55, especially on Friday night.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation will not be necessary through tonight.
