There remains some uncertainty in the forecast details with the late week winter storm, but current indications are that 1 to 3 inches of snow will accumulate Friday afternoon and evening before precipitation transitions to a wintry mix Friday evening, and then to all rain by midnight. Travel impacts are likely for the Friday afternoon and evening commutes. Total precipitation amounts up to between 1 and 1.25 inches appear likely by Saturday, which could worsen river flooding around central and southeast Illinois. The system could end as a period of light snow or freezing drizzle Saturday, especially near I-74 and northward. Keep updated with the forecast as details about this system evolve.
