New Year's Eve Snow

A low pressure system moving in from the west and southwest will bring a chance of snow to Central Illinois today.


Light snow will move in by the late morning hours, lasting us through the afternoon and into the evening. Widespread totals will be less than an inch, but heavier amounts are possible in the south.


A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY is in effect for McLean, DeWitt, Logan, Mason, Menard, Cass, and Schuyler counties from noon today until 6 am Tuesday. Use extra caution on the roadways, especially tonight with so many people out on New Year's Eve.


Temperatures are starting off in the 30s this morning, but as winds switch out of the north, we'll see them drop into the mid 20s this afternoon and into the low teens overnight.



Some clearing is possible on New Year's Day, but temperatures will stay chilly. Highs tomorrow will only reach the mid to upper teens. Tuesday night will be downright cold. Lows will drop back into the single digits. A quiet weather pattern builds in for the rest of the week with highs slowly warming into the mid 20s by Friday. Next weekend continues the warm up, bringing sunshine and highs in the low 30s. Early next week will warm us into the mid 30s.
