Problem, lets get to sue for the latest. It doesnt look like its going to be as big as what we saw today which ranged from a coating to couple inches. Light snow chances were watching are primarily for northern suburbs this time. Which got the least amount of snow this morning. Heres the system were watching.

But it is close enough and its going to be dragging a warm front how to our area that we could squeeze out a little bit of moisture in the form of light snow or flurries and the concern is its much colder tonight. Colder already than it was last night. Were in the 20s, anything that falls could stick, even if its just light. Sometimes it doesnt take much. The National Weather service said something new theyre doing, this yellow area is not a Winter Weather advisory but sort of a headsup for the potential of a winter commuting hazard.
