9:55am Monday Ice Storm Update

Here is a forecast of where the freezing rain will be heaviest until noon.

If you look closely, there is a turquoise oval from just south of Chicago into southwest Michigan. This is where the freezing rain will be heaviest and where power failures could occur.

Above is the Illinois radar as of 9:45am
