Snow developing in central IL

Weekend Travel Timeline

How Much Snow?

Snow will spread eastward into central and southeast IL overnight, becoming widespread and moderate to heavy over most of the area by sunrise. Many of the early light returns on radar are not reaching the ground, but the heavier returns are reaching the ground.

Heavy snow of 6 to 12 inches is expected in much of west-central IL tonight through Saturday night. The higher amounts will be closer to the I-74 corridor. East-central IL has more uncertainty in amounts, with a heavier, wetter snow, and possible change to rain.
