...Period of Moderate to Briefly Heavy Snow Showers Tonight...



Rain showers will gradually become more snow showers this evening.

The intensity of the snow showers will increase, with a focused

area of north-to-south snow showers expected to develop in 

northeast Illinois this evening and persist into early overnight.

This will likely produce temporary sharply reduced visibility and

minor snow accumulation, especially on grassy and elevated 

surfaces. As temperatures cool, even roadways could see minor 

accumulation. Total accumulations through tonight are expected to

be under one inch, though cannot rule out a few locations seeing 

slightly higher than that.



In addition, there may be a window where patchy light freezing 

drizzle is able to develop, mainly after 11 pm this evening.



With increased holiday travel continuing tonight, it is important

for motorists to be prepared for possible extra travel time and 

use heightened caution. This also includes early morning commuters

on Monday morning, as there may be residual patchy slick spots.
