A wintry mix is expected late tonight (February 5, 2026) through Friday morning, affecting areas from Dubuque, Iowa, to Princeton, Illinois. Freezing drizzle and light freezing rain could create slick roads and hazardous sidewalks for the morning commute, with most locations seeing a light glaze of ice. Drivers and pedestrians are urged to use caution. After 9 AM, rising temperatures should aid in melting any accumulated ice. A strong cold front will sweep through, bringing northwest winds at 20 to 25 miles per hour and gusts reaching 35 miles per hour throughout the day. Winds are set to subside by Friday evening.
