...Snow, Wind and Sub-Freezing Temperatures Expected Tonight into
Monday...

A strong storm system will bring a variety of active weather to
the area today through Monday. Rain showers will transition to
snow this afternoon, with snow continuing tonight into the day
Monday. Slushy accumulations of 1 to 3 inches, highest west of
I-39 and north of I-88, are possible tonight into Monday morning.
While impacts will be primarily limited to elevated and grassy
surfaces, brief periods of higher snowfall rates may lead to some
slushy road accumulations. Prepare for the potential of some
travel impacts during this time. West winds will also gust to 40
mph late this afternoon into Monday morning.

In addition to the snow and wind, temperatures as low as 30
degrees tonight and especially into the upper 20s under clearing
skies Monday night may damage or kill sensitive vegetation. Take
steps now to protect tender plants from the cold.
