Winter Storm Moving In

Another winter storm will move in later tonight, spreading wintry mix and snow across the area into Tuesday. We'll start off with a quick line of snow early this morning. Cloudy and breezy conditions will keep highs in the mid 30s this afternoon.

By the evening hours, a wintry mix of sleet, snow, and rain will build in from the west. Precipitation will continue overnight and into much of the day on Tuesday. Temperatures are likely to support sleet and snow as the main precipitation types tomorrow. Accumulations will be tricky with the mixed precipitation type. A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY is in effect in the northwest and a WINTER STORM WATCH in the northeast until Tuesday evening. Totals could be as high as 4-6". Peoria will see 2-4" at the very most. The southern parts of our viewing area will see mostly sleet and rain. Expect breezy winds gusting as high as 30 mph.

We'll start drying things out on Wednesday, with sunshine moving in for the end of the week. Temperatures will warm quickly into the weekend. Highs will be near 50 degrees on Saturday! Another storm system will move in by Sunday, though, bringing rain chances back to the forecast. Showers with a few isolated thunderstorms are possible into Monday of next week. Thankfully, temperatures will be warm enough to support all rain.
