continue through Tuesday night. Accumulations: Totals of 5
to 7 inches are expected through the duration of the event, with the
highest totals north of I-74.
Wind: Northwest winds will increase Tuesday afternoon and
will gust to around 30 mph through Tuesday night.

hazardous driving conditions. Additionally, wind chills will fall to
near zero Tuesday night.
