Special Weather Statement issued December 14 at 9:47PM CST by NWS Quad Cities IA IL
Recent fluffy snowfall from Saturday in combination with very cold temperatures and 20 to 30 mph southwesterly winds may result in some blowing and drifting snow Monday. Any blowing snow may lead to sharply reduced visibility and snow covered roads which could make travel hazardous, particularly on east-west oriented roads in rural areas. Motorists should be prepared for rapidly changing conditions Monday morning across eastern Iowa, western Illinois and far northeast Missouri. If you encounter blowing and/or drifting snow be sure to slow down and use low beams. In addition, bring an emergency kit that includes extra clothing, and notify someone where you are going and when you plan to arrive in case you get stuck.

Hydrologic Outlook issued December 14 at 11:20AM CST by NWS Chicago IL
ESFLOT Recent reports from river ice spotters and river gauges indicate that some melting of ice has occurred over the last few days, but isolated areas of heavy river ice coverage continue. Very cold temperatures today and tonight will cause river ice to expand in coverage. Ice jams will be possible in isolated areas along the Rock, Fox, Des Plaines, and Kankakee rivers into early this week. Ice jams may cause rises on area rivers with little warning. Warmer temperatures may return to the area by late week, which could begin a slow melt of river ice. This outlook means that elevated water levels and potential impacts are possible, but not yet certain. Persons with interests along area rivers should closely monitor the latest forecasts. This is the last scheduled update to the Outlook.
