Central IL Forecast

Snow Monday into Monday Night

Strong west to northwest winds will slowly decrease through the day, otherwise today will be cold with a few flurries and patchy blowing snow northwest of Peoria. Another weather system will produce snow again Monday into Monday night. This snow will be drier and with much less accumulation. However there is a good chance for a few inches of snowfall. Temperatures will be cold the next few days with highs in the mid to upper 20s today, upper 20s to mid 30s Monday, and mid 20s to around 30 Tuesday. Wednesday should see highs in the 30s, then another cold front brings highs from the mid teens to lower 20s for Thursday. Lows will be in the teens to lower 20s the next few days, then areas from I-70 northward will see lows drop to the single digits with potential for below zero wind chills Wednesday and Thursday night.

Snow accumulations are likely for central and southeast IL Monday afternoon into Monday night. An inch or more is very likely north of I-70 (80% to 90% chance), and around a 50% chance south of I-70. There is a good chance of 4 inch or more accumulations near and north of I-72 (40% to 50% chance). This snow is expected to be much drier and lighter than Saturday's snow.
