Accumulating Snow Overnight

Approximate Snowfall Timeline

Four Day Outlook

Accumulating snow will spread across northern Illinois late this evening and overnight. A narrow band of locally heavier snow is expected to develop roughly around the I-88 corridor, where snowfall rates may exceed 1 inch per hour for several hours. Closer to the Wisconsin line and especially south of I-80, snowfall rates will quickly diminish. Most of the accumulating snow is expected to taper off by around sunrise.

Here is an approximate timeline of when accumulating snow is expected to begin tonight. Note rain/freezing rain may mix in with snow across portions of Livingston, Ford, Iroquois, Kankakee, and Benton Counties overnight, but temperatures are expected to be near 31-33 degrees, limiting icing impacts.
