.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 421 AM EST Sun Dec 7 2025

Snow was just reaching the area west of Highway 31 early this
morning at 4 AM EST. Upstream visibilities were generally 3/4SM
to 2SM with locally 1/4SM +SN over the northern 1/3rd of IL.
Given the latest surface observations, INDOT data, radar
indications, observed snowfall amounts upstream, model forecast
and the latest trends, made a couple of generally minor updates
to the forecast including slightly higher snowfall amounts and a
slightly more northern track. The heaviest snow amounts will
fall north of Highway 30 and west of Highway 31. Northern
Laporte is expected to receive around 4 inches of snow. Lighter
amounts are expected east and south of this area. Have handled
this system with a Special Weather Statement.

Otherwise, much colder air will spread back into the area behind
the snow. Winds should remain under 10 mph through Monday with
wind chills falling below zero tonight and around zero Monday
night. Temperatures should recover above freezing Tuesday and
Wednesday before another surge of cold air brings wind chills as
low as -15F Friday and Saturday nights . Chances for light snow
will continue through the end of the week.
