| Another round of wintry precipitation will spread into central Illinois this evening. Expect this to start off as snow, though a transition to freezing rain will begin late evening south of I-70, and elsewhere after midnight. Areas near and west of I-55 are expected to receive around a tenth inch of ice accumulation, while areas to the east and southeast should see less than a tenth. 2-3 inches of snow is possible northwest of the Illinois river with 1-2 inches possible across the rest of central, eastern, and southeast Illinois. The combination of ice and snow will be enough to cause complications with the Wednesday morning commute. Temperatures across the area are expected to warm above freezing Wednesday morning, from south to north, which should result in improving conditions before midday. |
