2013-03-05 Winter Storm Update

A WINTER STORM WARNING has been issued for our area with chances for significant snow accumulation increasing across Northern Illinois.

Taken from the National Weather Service Weather Forecast Office for Chicago, IL

Light snow may be seen today and this evening as moist air begins to return ahead of a developing low pressure area. More appreciable snow is expected late tonight and even more so on Tuesday as this winter storm takes shape. Snow will likely be heavy at times Tuesday and Tuesday evening, and this will have significant travel impacts. While there remains some uncertainty on where the heaviest snow amounts will fall, much of the area north of I-80 is anticipated to receive six or more inches of snow.
