Weather: Brace for a winter punch

The potential is there for more snow and then COLD temps and it begins tonight. NWS says the Kankakee area could see 2-5 inches. Closer tome home in Iroquois County, the forecasts is for less snow, maybe an inch or less. But then the COLD temps settle in for the weekend.

Much of Illinois has enjoyed a mild winter with only a small amount of snow having fallen so far this season. The National Weather Service is calling for a significant snowfall beginning after midnight tonight (Thursday) and lasting through much of Friday and into Saturday morning.

As much as 9 inches of snow could fall during the storm, but some of the precipitation could be a rain-snow mix. A winter storm watch has been issued for North Central Illinois, Northeast Illinois and Northwest Indiana by the National Weather Service.
