Winter Storm Warning Effective 9:00 Pm Tonight Until 6:00 Pm Saturday

Chicagoland weather radar shows an area of snow moving west to east along a line just north of Interstate 80 and approaching Joliet. Snow is expected to gradually push north. The snow we are about to receive is not another of the Alberta Clippers that we have been hit with week after week. We're about to experience a good old-fashioned Low Pressure hook, which will mean heavy, wet snow, and ice and rain just to the south of the heavy snow line. Snow is likely to start in Arlington Heights and the northwest suburbs some time between 6:00 p.m. and 10 p.m. Friday with the heavier snow and faster accumulation after midnight. The forecast calls for about 2.3 inches by 6:00 a.m. Saturday morning and a final total of 6.5 inches by 6:00 p.m. Saturday. The approaching system could track further north, which could bring heavier snow to the northwest suburbs -- in the neighborhood of 6-8 inches. The shift would also bring a larger area of freezing rain and winter mix to the south and so
