The first signs of snow were seen in Illinois and more expected later in the week. Some areas north of the Quad Cities and west of Rockford saw one-to-three inches on grassy areas Monday night into Tuesday morning, according to Freese-Notis meteorologist Dan Hicks.
East and south of those areas he expects the system to produce from a half-inch to 1.5 inches of rainfall and that includes parts of Illinois. He believes most of Illinois will finish October with normal to above normal precipitation.
