Winter Storm Watch issued by National Weather Service
Winter Storm Watch. Urgent - National Weather Service Chicago. 323 am CST though Jan 19 2012
Developing winter storm to bring significant snowfall to Northern Illinois Friday and Friday night.
Winter storm watch in effect from Friday morning through Friday evening. The National Weather Service in Chicago has issued a winter storm Watch, which is in effect from Friday morning through Friday Evening.
Timing. Snow is expected to develop over northwest Illinois around daybreak Friday and quickly spread across northern Illinois including the Chicago metro area by late Friday morning. The snow will continue through Friday evening tapering off to light snow or flurries by early Saturday morning.
Accumulations. Storm total snow amounts in excess of 6 inches are possible.
Hazards. The heaviest snow is likely to fall from Friday afternoon into early Friday evening when snowfall rates of up to one inch per hour are possible. Roads will become snow covered and difficult to maintain if these snowfall rates materialize. Travel across northern Illinois will become difficult and perhaps dangerous.
Impacts. Accumulating snow will cause significantly increased travel times Friday and Friday night. The heaviest snow is expected to be falling during the Friday afternoon and Friday evening rush hour commute. Delays at Chicago area airports are also possible.
Precautionary/Preparedness Actions. A winter storm watch means there is a potential for significant snow, sleet or ice accumulations that may impact travel. Continue to monitor the latest forecasts.
