Significant Snow Risk.
DISCUSSION...
Snow, heavy at times will continue for areas northwest of I-55
today. Snow will spread across the entire area this evening and
end overnight. Northwest winds may gust as high as 45 mph tonight
which may produce blowing snow, especially in open areas.

Limited Snow Risk.
Friday...
Elevated Non Thunderstorm Wind Risk.
Significant Snow Risk.
Saturday...
Limited Non Thunderstorm Wind Risk.

DISCUSSION...
A weak system will bring light snow and minor snow accumulations
to the area Wednesday night, especially along and north of I-80.
Another winter storm may impact the area Friday into Saturday.
Several inches of accumulating snow in combination with strong
winds may result in difficult travel across the area into
Saturday.
Much colder air will spread across the region this weekend and
early next week, producing dangerously cold wind chills.
River ice is expected to rapidly build up on area rivers Sunday
into early next week as a much colder arctic airmass moves into
the area. This will bring a threat for ice jam related flooding
on area rivers into early next week.
.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
Spotter activation will not be necessary through tonight.
