Snow/Mix Saturday, Dry Sunday

Light Wet Snow Tonight through Saturday

Rain and snow is forecast to develop tonight and change to a wet snow, continuing through Saturday morning. Wet accumulation of a trace to 2 inches is expected, mainly in Illinois. It is forecast to be breezy Saturday into Saturday night with gusts up to 30 mph. Wind chills on Sunday morning are expected to be in the single digits above zero.

Another storm system will move across the region Friday night into Saturday. While rain is possible at the start, a changeover to light wet snow is expected to quickly occur from northwest to southeast. Snow amounts are expected to be light, with some question if conditions will be too warm to allow for more than a trace of accumulation. Illinois appears to have the best chance for seeing more than 1 inch of snow, but travel everywhere could be wet and a bit slushy tonight - Saturday morning.
