Light snow will spread across Iowa and Illinois today from south to north. The snow will become heavier by daybreak Saturday through the midday hours. It will end by late afternoon.
A "Winter Weather Advisory" goes into effect this evening through Saturday evening for the counties in the lighter shading of blue and a "Winter Storm Watch" for the blue-shaded counties.
Based on the data from early this morning, here is how much snow I'm expecting through Saturday.
Remember when you see a range, it could end up being on the low side or the high side. Some automatically just think it'll be the high end of the range.
There are some indications the storm will track a little more to the north. If that happens, warmer air could be drawn into the system and might cut back on the 7-9" of snow in our southern and eastern hometowns with some sleet mixing in.
Also, that would take the heavier snows more to the northwest.
The bottom line is that we're going to see a moderate to heavy snow event later today into Saturday. Keep up on the latest forecast for any changes in the snow amounts.
Chief Meteorologist Andy McCray will have the latest this afternoon and tonight.
