Snowfall Forecast

9:00pm Update: I talked with the NWS office in Chicago just a few minutes ago and they are "likely going to issue a Snow Advisory with the morning zone forecasts at around 4 in the morning." Adam Painter will post the latest for you in the morning. -ES

We'll lead the way and get a forecast map out there for our Tuesday PM storm (since it's about 24 hours away).

It appears that generally there will be 1-3 inches across the area with areas around Sterling-Rock Falls in the 1-2" range. Rockford proper could receive around 4 inches with a few 5" reports possible along the stateline into Green and Rock Counties.

I expect snow to begin late afternoon Tuesday and last into the wee hours of Wednesday. A Snow Advisory will likely be needed with this event. No word on it yet, but we'll let you know.

Would it be necessary for me to send in reports? I live about 2 miles west of the airport, so my observations would probably be close to the exact same. I never really pay attention to what happens at my house, I just look at the airport reports. And it doesnt look like this snow will go anywhere fast :(

justin: any reports are good reports.

tyler: true, this one has quite a bit of moisture. there's a lot of moisture out there in the pacific that will be tugged in with it.

footville: you could be on the bigger side of this one. perhaps six inches? be sure to give us an update tomorrow afternoon and evening, wont you?

Thanks to all! -ERIC
