...HAZARDOUS TRAVEL CONDITIONS POSSIBLE MONDAY INTO MONDAY
EVENING...

SNOW IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP MONDAY MORNING OVER NORTH CENTRAL
ILLINOIS GRADUALLY SPREADING EAST ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF NORTHERN
ILLINOIS MONDAY AFTERNOON. STRONG SOUTH WINDS WILL BE USHERING IN
PROGRESSIVELY MILDER AIR...WHICH WILL PROBABLY CAUSE THE SNOW TO
RAIN MONDAY EVENING. THERE IS A DISTINCT POSSIBILITY OF A PERIOD
OF FREEZING RAIN OR SLEET MONDAY AFTERNOON INTO EARLY MONDAY
EVENING AS THE PRECIPITATION TRANSITIONS TO RAIN. WITH
TEMPERATURES EXPECTED TO HOVER RIGHT AROUND THEN JUST BARELY ABOVE
FREEZING WHEN THE PRECIPITATION IS FALLING IT IS VERY TRICKY TO
DETERMINE ACCURATELY EXACTLY WHAT TYPE OF PRECIPITATION WILL OCCUR
THIS FAR IN ADVANCE.

CURRENT INDICATIONS ARE THAT THE GREATEST RISK FOR ACCUMULATING
SNOW...POSSIBLY A FEW INCHES...WILL BE OVER NORTH CENTRAL ILLINOIS
EAST INTO THE NORTHERN SUBURBS OF CHICAGO...WITH LESSER AMOUNTS
FARTHER SOUTH. THERE COULD BE SOME MINOR ICE ACCUMULATIONS IN SOME
AREAS AS WELL.

PERSONS PLANNING TRAVEL ACROSS THE REGION MONDAY INTO MONDAY NIGHT
SHOULD CLOSELY MONITOR LATER FORECASTS.
