Special Weather Statement issued November 20 at 3:19PM CST by NWS Chicago IL

Effective: Wed November 20, 2024, 3:19 PM
Expires: Wed November 20, 2024, 9:30 PM

A 2-3 hour long period of moderate to heavy snowfall is expected on Thursday during the late morning and early afternoon, likely leading to slushy snow accumulations occurring on roadways. Strong west-northwesterly winds gusting to 40-45 mph during the snowfall will cause sharply reduced visibilities, which will further exacerbate the hazardous travel conditions. Motorists should use caution when traveling in these conditions and allow for extra travel time to reach their destination.

The times presented here are based upon the solunar theory, which is the idea that the movements of fish and other animals are affected by the location of the sun and moon. The major periods are believed to be the times of the greatest animal activity and occur when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot (lunar transits). The minor periods also see increased activity and occur when the moon is rising or setting. The strongest activity occurs during full or new moons, and the weakest during quarter or three quarter moons. This is indicated by the Action Rating.
