Winter Storm Watch Issued for Parts of Northern Illinois

As much as six to eight inches of snow could fall on the region beginning Sunday night

A Winter Storm Watch has been issued for a pair of counties in the northern suburbs as another round of heavy snow is set to move into the area.

The watch was issued for Lake and McHenry counties, and will take effect beginning on Sunday evening.

Heavy snow accumulations of six to eight inches are expected in the area, which could snarl traffic and could bring blowing snow and drifting to the region.

Travel conditions are expected to deteriorate quickly during the snowfall, as blowing snow is expected to reduce visibility dramatically. The Monday morning commute from the northern suburbs is expected to be impacted by the snow.

A Winter Storm Warning was also issued for parts of southern Wisconsin, including Kenosha County, as the storm threatens to dump heavy snow on the area.
