Although there is still considerable uncertainty in the forecast details, a strong storm system will likely affect the area Friday into Saturday. Measurable snow will likely take place as the storm system begins on Friday, with a period of sleet and freezing rain possible Friday afternoon and evening as the snow transitions to rain for Friday night. Total precipitation amounts around an inch or more appear likely by Saturday, which could worsen areas of river flooding around central and southeast Illinois. The system could end as a period of light snow Saturday, especially near I-74 and northward. Keep updated with the forecast as this system develops over the next few days.
