Although Illinois will stay out of the path of a midweek blizzard bearing down on portions of the Upper Midwest and Central Plains, the added snowfall in Wisconsin and Minnesota will mean more trouble for the upper Mississippi River. That according to Freese-Notis Meteorologist Dan Hicks.

Parts of northern Wisconsin, Minnesota, South Dakota, Nebraska and eastern Wyoming are going to be the areas that have the heaviest snowfall from this system. Illinois will see just rain.
