portions of east central Illinois and south of the Kankakee River
in Indiana. Some ice accumulations resulting in slick roads are
possible after precipitation changes to freezing rain later
Wednesday night into Thursday morning. On Thursday, at least
several inches of snow accumulation are likely for portions of the
area along with strong northerly winds, causing hazardous travel
and significant visibility reductions Thursday afternoon and
evening. Icy mixed precipitation could continue for southern
sections deeper into Thursday. Finally, the strong northerly winds
will result in a lakeshore flooding threat.
