Weekend Forecast

Saturday Night-Sunday Snow

Mostly cloudy skies are expected tonight through Saturday, then snow chances return Saturday night into Sunday with minor accumulations possible mainly north of I-72. Temperatures moderate a bit this weekend, with areas south of I-72 climbing above freezing on Saturday and Sunday. More cold air arrives Sunday night, with areas north of I-72 dropping into the single digits.

Snow will overspread central Illinois from northwest to southeast late Saturday night and then end from west to east during the day on Sunday. Minor snow accumulations are possible, mainly north of I-72/Danville. Before precipitation ends, rain may mix with snow near and south of I-70 during the day on Sunday. Further north, between I-70 and I-74, there is a low chance (10%) of a brief period of freezing drizzle. While freezing drizzle currently appears unlikely, if it were to occur it would result in very slippery surfaces.
