Another Winter Storm Moves In Overnight

Today will start off quiet. Cloud cover will gradually increase with highs in the upper 30s and low 40s this afternoon.

A low pressure system to our southwest will slowly move northeast overnight bringing a chance of snow and freezing rain after midnight.

Most of the area will see moderate to heavy snow on Tuesday morning with breezy winds limiting visibilities. A WINTER STORM WARNING will be in effect from midnight until 6 pm Tuesday for our westernmost counties. A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY will be in effect from the I-55 corridor to the Illinois River for the same time frame.

Snow totals could be as high as 5-8" in the west and northwest, 3-5" in Peoria, and 1-3" in the southeast where more freezing rain and rain are possible tomorrow. Plan on leaving early for your morning commute.

Scattered light snow will stick around Tuesday night. We may even see a few flurries into Wednesday and Thursday. Cooler air will slowly settle in dropping highs to the upper 20s and low 30s by the weekend. Next week will start off sunny, before another storm system brings a chance of snow next Tuesday.
