South of I-80 will see a mix of rain and snow or just rain, but north of I-80, should see snow accumulating to more than 6 inches by Monday morning, with further accumulations throughout the day, according to the weather service. <span id=\"more-20702\"><\/span>Snow should begin to diminish from the west Monday evening, the weather service said.<\/p>\n<p>\nSnowfall totals will likely reach 6 inches within 12 hours and continue to 10 inches or more through the day Monday, according to the weather service.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe heaviest amounts will probably accumulate from western Lee County northeast to McHenry County with some lake-supplied moisture feeding lakeshore locations in Lake and Cook County with an extra inch or two.<\/p>\n<p>\nA winter storm watch means there is a potential for significant snow, sleet or ice accumulations that may impact travel. <\/p>\n<p>\nHazards resulting from this storm could include greatly reduced visibility and slippery, snow-covered roads. Travel conditions may deteriorate rapidly Sunday night, with most roads becoming snow-covered by midnight, the weather service said.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Read the original article from <a  href=\"http:\/\/wbbm780.com\/content_page.php?contentType=4&amp;contentId=5615397\" title=\"Winter storm watch issued\" rel='nofollow'>WBBM News Radio<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Distributed via <a href=\"http:\/\/chicagopressrelease.com\" rel='nofollow'>Chicago Press Release Services<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/f4hqdaJK7S0Jk6stuVALlxObSO8\/0\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/f4hqdaJK7S0Jk6stuVALlxObSO8\/0\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/f4hqdaJK7S0Jk6stuVALlxObSO8\/1\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/f4hqdaJK7S0Jk6stuVALlxObSO8\/1\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.chicagopressrelease.com\/~ff\/windycitynews?a=y6fHQqkNzfA:wd_fuVRR0G4:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/windycitynews?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.chicagopressrelease.com\/~ff\/windycitynews?a=y6fHQqkNzfA:wd_fuVRR0G4:qj6IDK7rITs\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/windycitynews?d=qj6IDK7rITs\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.chicagopressrelease.com\/~ff\/windycitynews?a=y6fHQqkNzfA:wd_fuVRR0G4:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/windycitynews?i=y6fHQqkNzfA:wd_fuVRR0G4:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/windycitynews\/~4\/y6fHQqkNzfA\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CHICAGO\u00a0(STMW)\u00a0 &#8212; As much as 10 inches of snow could fall in parts of the Chicago area through Monday, according to the National Weather Service, which has issued a winter storm watch for the Chicago area this weekend.
