We dodged a worst-case scenario overnight as temperatures remained above freezing and allowed for heavy rainfall to stick around for most of the overnight hours instead of the freezing rain we were expecting. We did see enough to put a glaze on tree branches and cars.

Now that temperatures have dropped below 32 degrees and we are not going to see a rebound in temps today, any precipitation will cause slick conditions very quick. Use caution when on the roads all day today.

WSSI

We will continue to see a drizzle and a wintry mix throughout the morning before we see a chance to heavier snow this afternoon. Accumulation amounts will be seen between 2-4 inches for all of us with heavier amounts in local areas as winds gust and near the Wisconsin border.

East of this line… A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect through midnight Saturday night  which includes Macomb, Galesburg, Peoria and Princeton, IL.

Saturday: We will see a chance for a wintry mix throughout the morning hours and see a transition to some heavy snow this afternoon. Snowfall amounts will be between 2-4 inches for almost all of us with heavier amounts possible near the Wisconsin border. Winds will be gusty up to 30 MPH.
