DISCUSSION:
WARM TEMPERATURES TODAY WILL LIKELY RESULT IN ADDITIONAL ICE MELT OR
BREAKUP. HOWEVER...MUCH COLDER TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO FILTER
IN TO NORTHERN ILLINOIS TONIGHT. TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN BELOW
NORMAL FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK ACROSS NORTHERN ILLINOIS AND
NORTHWEST INDIANA. THIS WILL RESULT IN NEW ICE FORMATION ON AREA
STREAMS.
