Winter Storm Watch
* WHAT...For the Winter Weather Advisory, snow expected. Total snow accumulations 2 to 3 inches, within a few hour period. For the Winter Storm Watch, heavy lake effect snow possible. Total snow accumulations locally in excess of 6 inches possible, mainly near Lake Michigan. * WHERE...Central Cook and Southern Cook Counties. * WHEN...For the Winter Weather Advisory, from 9 AM to 3 PM CST Friday.

Then, later Friday afternoon and evening, an intense band of heavy lake effect snow will develop over southern Lake Michigan, and may impact portions of central and southern Cook county near the lake for a period Friday evening before focusing eastward into northwestern Indiana later Friday night. While the residence time of this lake effect band over Cook county may only be 3 to 5 hours, the potential for heavy snow rates of 2+ inches per hour could result in localized accumulations exceeding 6 inches, particularly near the lake from the city southward.
Winter Storm Warning
* WHAT...Heavy lake effect snow with total snow accumulations over 6 inches expected, mainly near and north of US Route 30. Isolated totals up to a foot are possible. * WHERE...Lake IN and Porter Counties. * WHEN...From 6 PM this evening to 6 PM CST Saturday. * IMPACTS...Travel could be very difficult to nearly impossible at times north of U.S. Route 30 with near white out conditions and snowfall rates of 2 or more inches per hour under the most intense portions of the band. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...The Heaviest snowfall is expected late this evening through Saturday morning, when locally 2 inch per hour rates are expected at times.

This will particularly be the case for areas in close proximity to the lake. This intense band of lake effect snow is expected to shift eastward into northwestern Indiana late this evening and overnight, thus resulting in a several hour break in accumulating snow across Cook county overnight. However, the band is expected to shift back westward Saturday morning, and is expected to impact parts of northeastern Illinois on Saturday. While the footprint of accumulating snow is likely to be lower on Saturday, localized additional accumulations and associated travel impacts are expected.

ESFLOT Cold temperatures this week have caused a significant increase in river ice across the area, including multiple ice jams. Cold temperatures are expected to continue into next week, with favorable conditions for river ice formation. Areas of open river may see new ice growth, while areas with existing ice cover my thicken. No widespread flooding is expected, but ice jams will be possible in isolated areas, especially along the Rock, Fox, and Kankakee rivers. Ice jams may cause rises or fluctuations on area rivers with little warning. Persons with interests along area rivers should closely monitor the latest forecasts.

Expect the snow showers to diminish overnight. Motorists should use caution if traveling across northern Porter County. Slow down in snow, add extra stopping distance, and give yourself extra time to reach your destination.
