…BLIZZARD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH
LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT… …WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY IS CANCELLED…
THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN CHICAGO HAS CANCELLED THE WINTER
WEATHER ADVISORY. A BLIZZARD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON THROUGH LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT.
AS WINDS DIMINISH THIS MORNING…THE BLOWING AND DRIFTING OF SNOW WILL
ALSO SUBSIDE. NO MORE SNOW ACCUMULATION IS EXPECTED OUTSIDE OF A FEW
SCATTERED FLURRIES THIS MORNING. THUS THE WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY IS
CANCELLED FOR THIS MORNING.
HOWEVER…ANOTHER CLIPPER SYSTEM WILL TRACK ACROSS NORTHERN ILLINOIS
AND NORTHWEST INDIANA ON WEDNESDAY…BRINGING ANOTHER ROUND OF SNOW.
THIS SYSTEM…POTENTIALLY…LOOKS TO BE EVEN STRONGER THAN THE SYSTEM
TRACKING THROUGH THE REGION THIS MORNING. ACCUMULATING SNOW IS
EXPECTED TO DEVELOP AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT AND CONTINUE THROUGH THE
DAY ON WEDNESDAY. TOTAL SNOW ACCUMULATION BY WEDNESDAY EVENING WILL
RANGE FROM 2 TO 5 INCHES. STRONG NORTHWEST WINDS GUSTING TO 35 MPH
WILL COMBINE WITH THE FRESH SNOW COVER TO PRODUCE BLIZZARD OR NEAR
BLIZZARD CONDITIONS FROM LATE WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT.
DANGEROUSLY COLD WIND CHILLS OF 20 BELOW TO 35 BELOW ZERO ARE ALSO
EXPECTED BY LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT.
A BLIZZARD WATCH MEANS THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR FALLING AND/OR BLOWING
SNOW WITH STRONG WINDS AND EXTREMELY POOR VISIBILITIES. THIS CAN LEAD
TO WHITEOUT CONDITIONS AND MAKE TRAVEL VERY DANGEROUS.
