Cold weather to continue this week

Snow showers will again be an issue for us across the area as they rotate through the state. A slight chance of precipitation will remain for Sunday evening into early Monday, but the chances will remain low.

See town-by-town snow totals. Wind chill values will be even lower, perhaps to -10 in the higher elevations and near 0 in the valleys.

Have a great Monday! Highs will be in the upper 40s and lows will be near freezing.

Rain showers are expected to transition into snow showers by Monday evening, leading to slick roads, according to the National Weather Service in Wilmington. No need to worry, the precipitation will be very light, and no impact is expected. Highs will be in the 20s to near 30 degrees with a light breeze.

“Snow showers today and this evening haven’t amounted to much, .8” in Carlyle, Ill., so far. Snow will taper Wednesday morning. Temperatures will drop to the upper single digits overnight.

With Lake Michigan ice coverage well-below average, there will be plenty of open water to generate lake-effect snow. Calm wind becoming northwest around 5 miles per hour in the afternoon.
