After a clipper system earlier this weekend deliver 2.3" of snow to Chicago, another clipper system is suppose to deliver more snow!! Chicago's seasonal snowfall total stands at 5.8" right now and that total will go up again by the time we wake up Monday morning. A fast moving clipper system is expected to move into the area late tonight. With the low pressure system passing just to the south of Chicago, the heaviest snow will fall right in line with the metro area, where close to 5" is expected. This has promoted the National Weather Service to issue a Winter Weather Advisory for Winnebago, Boone, McHenry, Lake, Kane, DuPage and Cook Counties in IL! This advisory goes into effect at 10pm tonight and continues until NOON on Monday! Areas south will see significantly less totals and lake side counties could see slightly more due to some lake effect on Monday morning. Either way, the Monday morning commute is going to be a mess in the city of Chicago, where the higher amounts are expected to fall.
As for the remainder of today, highs will stay right around 20 degrees with partial clearing and sunshine throughout the day. Clouds move in later as the clipper moves into the area. Stay tuned for full details!!
