Scattered snow showers are expected to move across portions of
central Illinois this afternoon, with a 30 to 50 percent chance of
accumulating snow at any given location. Some of these will contain
visibility less than half a mile, and will be accompanied by wind
gusts of 30 to 35 mph which will produce localized hazardous travel.
A quick inch of accumulation is possible with the heavier showers.
The worst conditions are expected from around midday into late this
afternoon, though the snow threat will end from west to east as the
afternoon progresses. Temperatures will be falling through the 20s in
the afternoon, so any snow that melts on roads will freeze and cause
areas of slick travel for the afternoon commute.
Be prepared for rapid changes in driving conditions this afternoon.
