This powerhouse storm is still barreling across the middle of the country, although the forward motion has slowed. Rain this morning will be later to transition to snow this afternoon. Best guess is rain or a rain-snow mix until 12-2 pm far NW, 2-4pm near suburbs, and after sunset in the city.
Best guess remains 8+ inches far NW -- Lake and McHenry counties remain in the bull's-eye -- with amounts tapering rapidly to the SE. 3-6+ inches for most suburbs toward O'Hare, and 1-2" right along the lakefront from Lincoln Park south to the Indiana border.
One moderate change is that the wind field is expanding and intensifying. Gusts of 45+ mph are likely across the whole area tonight. Airports will have a very tough time after sunset, and even driving will be a challenge tonight in many places.
The Winter Storm Warning is in effect from noon today until 9:00 tomorrow morning. The good news is that we should get a few more hours in the "good" travel window this afternoon on the roads and at the airports, but the morning commute could be somewhat of a problem tomorrow. The worst conditions will arrive well after sunset and be gone by sunrise, but lingering snow showers and the cleanup effort could make for slower travel times tomorrow.
