Based on the current information,
That has been provided to us.
Winter Weather Watch issued,
Post Your Snowfall Amount Predictions in The Comments
We are saying 7 inches…
What is your guess?
...WINTER STORM WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM LATE TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING... * WHAT...Heavy snow and blowing snow possible. Total snow accumulations of greater than 6 inches possible. Winds could gust as high as 50 mph. * WHERE...Portions of north central and northeast Illinois. * WHEN...From late tonight through Saturday morning. * IMPACTS...Travel could be dangerous. Areas of blowing snow could significantly reduce visibility. The hazardous conditions will likely impact both Friday commutes. Gusty winds could bring down tree branches and power lines. Rapidly falling temperatures Friday night may lead to a flash freeze on untreated surfaces. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...The strongest winds with the potential for periods of blizzard conditions are expected Friday evening into early Saturday. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... Monitor the latest forecasts for updates on this situation.
This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of North Central Illinois...Northeast Illinois and Northwest Indiana. .DAY ONE...Today and Tonight. Weather hazards expected... Limited Snow Risk. DISCUSSION... Snow is expected to spread across the area late tonight into early Friday morning. The snow may be briefly heavy during the predawn hours Friday morning. A few inches of snow accumulation is possible, mainly along and northwest of I-57. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday. Friday... Elevated Non Thunderstorm Wind Risk. Significant Snow and Blowing Snow Risk. Elevated Lakeshore Flood Risk. Saturday... Elevated Excessive Cold Risk. Limited Non Thunderstorm Wind Risk. Limited Snow and Blowing Snow Risk. Elevated Lakeshore Flood Risk. Sunday through Tuesday... Significant Excessive Cold Risk. Limited Lakeshore Flood Risk. Limited River Flooding Risk Due to Ice Jams. Wednesday... Elevated Excessive Cold Risk. Limited River Flooding Risk Due to Ice Jams. DISCUSSION... A winter storm will impact the area Friday into Saturday. Several inches of accumulating snow in combination with strong winds may result in dangerous travel across the area into Saturday, though considerable uncertainty remains regarding the storm track and rain/snow line location. The heaviest snow is expected north of I-80, with lower totals near Lake Michigan. Strong northwest winds may gust between 40 mph and 50 mph Friday night causing significant blowing and drifting snow. These strong winds will also allow for high waves on Lake Michigan and the potential for minor lake shore flooding, mainly along the northwest Indiana shoreline. Much colder air will spread across the region this weekend and continue into next week, producing dangerously cold wind chills from 20 below to 30 below zero. 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 next week. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation will not be necessary through tonight.
