TO THE NORTH OF US.

THIS VIDEO JUST INTEREST FROM

McHENRY COUNTY WHERE OFFICERS

ARE RESPONDING TO SEVERAL

CRASHES.

HIGH WINDS WHIPPING AROUND, THE

SNOW NOT HELPING CONDITIONS AT

ALL.

THIS CRASH HAPPENED IN CRYSTAL

LAKE.

MARY KAY HERE TRACKING WHAT

IS QUICKLY TURNING TO SNOW.

BETWEEN NOW AND 10:00 LOOKS

TO BE THE TIMEFRAME FOR THE

BEST SNOW COVERAGE.

THE WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY.

THE AREA HAS EXPANDED TO

INCLUDE ALL OF NORTHWEST

INDIANA NEAR MORRIS AND OTTAWA

TILL 3 A.M.

WE STILL HAVE THE WINTER STORM

WARNING FOR LAKE AND McHENRY

COUNTIES.

GETTING A COUPLE OF STORM

REPORTS COMING IN OF EARLY SNOW

TOTALS AT THE AIRPORT THERE.

ABOUT A HALF INCH OF SNOW.

ROCKFORD GETTING AN ENGINE SO

FAR.

THE TEMPERATURES HAS PLAYED A

BIG PART IN THIS.

WE HAVE SEEN THE COLDER AIR TO

THE NORTH.

BUT NOT ENOUGH MOISTURE WORKING

INTO THERE JUST YET.

AND THE NORTHWEST INDIANA IN

THE MID-30s EARLIER BUT NOW WE

NOTICE TEMPERATURES ARE

STARTING TO FALL.

AS THE MAIN SNOW BAN MOVES AND

THAT'LL HELP TO CREATE ALL SNOW

INSTEAD OF THAT RAIN.

AS I HAVE THIS IN MOTION IT WAS

RAIN LAST HOUR AND NOW IT'S

CHANGING OVER TO A VERY FINE

SNOW IN NORTHWEST INDIANA AS

THE TEMPERATURE DROPS.

THE BEST COVERAGE NOW OF THE

SNOW SHOWER ACTIVITY IS IN THE

STARKER, BLUISH PURPLE COLOR.

WE HAVE STEADY SNOW TO AND INTO

ROCKFORD.

THEN A LITTLE BIT TO THE SOUTH

THROUGH OTTAWA, ALL OF THIS IS

STARTING TO RIDE INTO THE WHITE

AND WILMINGTON.

AND EVENTUALLY INTO WILL COUNTY

AND THEN INTO COOK COUNTY.

THE WINDS ARE STILL WITH US

TONIGHT, THE HIGHEST I COULD

FIND TODAY AT SOLDIER FIELD, 55

MILE PER HOUR.

TROPICAL STORM STARTS WITH

WINDS OF 39 MILES PER HOUR.

THAT TELLS YOU HOW WINDY IT WAS

TODAY.

BOLINGBROOK 35 MILE PER HOUR,

MIDWAY SAME THERE.

WINDS TO 48 MILES PER HOUR.

RIGHT NOW THEY ARE GUSTING TO

43 MILES PER HOUR.

NOTICE HOW WINDS ARE MAINLY OUT

OF THE NORTH FOR THE MOMENT.

WE STILL HAVE HIGH WAVES WITH

US.

AS WE LOOK AT OUR WAVE TRACKER

THREE NOW AT 10:00 WE WILL KEEP

THOSE WINDS UP.

BUT AFTER MIDNIGHT AND STARTED

DYING DOWN.

IN THE MORNING WE EXPECT ABOUT

2-4 FOOT WAVE.

ON THE SNOW TRACKER WE HAVE

SNOW IN THE FORECAST SOUTH AND

THEN LIFTING INTO COOK COUNTY

THROUGH 8:00, THROUGH THE 9:00

HOUR.

BUT IN AFTER 10:00 TO MIDNIGHT

EVERYTHING BREAKS UP.

WE LOSE THE MOISTURE.

IT ALL MOVES AWAY FROM THE

PICTURE.

OVER THE LAST HOUR I HAVE

NOTICED THE MODELS ARE TRENDING

DOWN A HAIR ON SOME OF THE

SNOWFALL TOTALS.

I AM STILL GOING 1-4 INCHES AND

UNDER IS NO BAN SNOW BAN, IT IS

POSSIBLE YOU CAN GET A FEW FIVE

INCH TOTALS BUT WITH THE STORM

MOVING SO QUICKLY, IT IS NOT

GOING TO HAVE A LOT OF TIME TO

BE AROUND.

I GUESS WE ARE LOOKING AT

INTENSITY OF THE SNOW BANDS AS

THEY MOVE THROUGH, AND IT'S

HARD TO PINPOINT EXACTLY WHERE

THOSE LINEUP, BUT JUST KNOW

THAT NOW, UNTIL 10:00, WILL BE

THE TIME TO SEE THE BEST CHANCE

FOR SNOW ACCUMULATION.
