Milder temperatures will overspread the area for the next few days. A strong cold front will move in on Thursday. This will produce widespread light to moderate rain and breezy conditions. Much colder air follows this front for the end of the week.

A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect this afternoon through tonight. Areas within the advisory can expect 2-5 inches of snow with some locally higher amounts possible. Use caution if traveling and allow extra time to reach your destination.

Here’s your heads up!!!

A great deal of concern for some intense wind gusts Wednesday morning in the area, and they could mix in with some snow showers. We call the combination of the two "snow squalls" and they can cause highly localized areas of poor visibility and slick roads as they pass through.

Wind gusts up to 65 mph cannot be discounted in a few areas, especially after 4a.

Cold weather continues for central IL, with highs today in the mid 20s, and lows tonight in the upper teens. Somewhat milder temperatures are expected Wednesday with highs in the mid to upper 30s before a cold front arrives, bringing with it a chance for light snow and wind chills dipping below zero for areas north of I-70 by Thursday morning, and again Friday morning. Additional snow is possible late in the weekend.

Snow will return to the area this afternoon and continue into evening. Snow will develop early in the afternoon west of I-55, extending southeastward past the I-70 corridor by late afternoon or early evening. Highest accumulations of 3 to 4 inches look to be from I-72 northward, but most areas should see between 2 and 4 inches. Snow covered, slippery roads can be expected during the evening commute, and may linger into Tuesday morning. Allow extra travel time, slow down, and increase following distance between you and the vehicle in front of you.
