an update from the national weather service. Hopefully it will miss up like the last big storm that came through. None the less it still sucks! Be safe out there!
AN ARCTIC COLD FRONT WILL PUSH EAST THROUGH CENTRAL ILLINOIS TODAY...WITH TEMPERATURES TURNING SHARPLY COLDER IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT. A FEW UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES WILL RIDE ALONG THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY TODAY AND TONIGHT...CAUSING WAVES OF RAIN TO DEVELOP ACROSS CENTRAL ILLINOIS. FREEZING RAIN WILL DEVELOP BY LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING AS TEMPERATURES DROP BELOW32 DEGREES BEHIND THE FRONT. THE CHANGE OVER FROM RAIN TO FREEZING RAIN IS EXPECTED TO OCCUR BY LATE AFTERNOON ALONG AND WEST OF THE ILLINOIS RIVER VALLEY...AND BY EARLY EVENING ALONG AND WEST OF THE I-55 CORRIDOR. SIGNIFICANT ICE ACCUMULATIONS ARE NOT EXPECTED AT THIS TIME.HOWEVER...THERE WILL BE SUFFICIENT ICE ACCUMULATION ON AREA ROADS...PARKING LOTS AND SIDEWALKS TO MAKE TRAVEL CONDITIONS DIFFICULT.
