It's a First Alert Weather Day on Thursday as snow moves into the Denver metro area. The main concern with this system won't be the amount of snowfall but will be with the gusty winds causing areas of blowing snow.

A storm system will bring a period of light snow to Central Illinois Thursday night and Friday morning. While accumulations are expected to be on the light side, there should be enough snow to impact the Friday morning commute.

Around 60 million people are in the path of a massive winter storm that has already caused chaos on the roads in the middle of the country. The weather is expected to bring heavy snow, blizzard conditions and dangerously cold temperatures from the Midwest to the East Coast.
