DISCUSSION:
A powerful winter storm is forecast to impact the region Thursday
into Friday, bringing wind driven snow and possibly blizzard
conditions. Forecasts in coming days will continue to refine the
forecast track and intensity of this storm as new data arrives.
Any of these refinements could result in significant changes to
the expected extent and severity of the storm's impacts on
northern and central Illinois and extreme northwest Indiana.
However, based on current forecasts, this area appears likely to
experience severe winter weather impacts, especially Thursday
night and through at least Friday evening.
Regardless of the track of the winter storm, bitterly cold arctic
air and strong winds will result in dangerously low wind chills
Friday through Saturday night. These winds also may result in
lakeshore flooding, particularly for northwest Indiana on Friday.
.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
Spotter activation will not be necessary through tonight.
