“A Spring snow storm has been developing over the central Rocky Mountains overnight. As it moves east from the central plains across the mid Mississippi valley and to the Ohio valley tonight, Sunday and Sunday night it will spread a swath of heavy snow across Mid-America. Light snow is expected to spread northeast and over the southwest portion of the local forecast area during the pre-dawn and early morning hours of Sunday. By late morning snow will have spread across most or all of the area with snowfall intensity starting to pickup, especially south of the Kankakee and Illinois Rivers. Varying amounts of snow are expected to fall over the area Sunday and Sunday evening. Expected amounts range from an inch or less near the Wisconsin border, 1 to 3 inches from I-88 south to I-80, 3 to 6 inches from I-80 to U.S. highway 24, and to over 6 inches south of Route 24. Winds will be increasing overnight and Sunday morning, reaching sustained speeds of 20 to 25 mph with some gusts to 35 mph during the afternoon and evening. These winds will cause blowing and drifting of the fresh snowfall.”
