Illinois Officials Beware!!!!!!

[kenref1]

A winter storm is taking aim at Illinois for this weekend. The first wave of snow is expected to begin around 3 am tonight and continue through Saturday. The snow will then taper off some during the afternoon hours, with snowfall accumulations of 1-4 inches possible by Saturday evening. During the afternoon hours, south of I-70, freezing rain and sleet could mix with the light snow, resulting in about two tenths of an inch of ice accumulation ontop of the snow. A second wave of accumulating snow will begin Saturday night and continue into Sunday morning, prodcing another 2-4 inches of snow. Total snowfall accumulations by Sunday morning will range from 3-5 inches northwest of I-72 to 6-8 inches to the southeast. A Snow Advisory and Winter Weather Warning have been issued for Central Illinois from 6 am Saturday through 6 am Sunday. Any small change in the track of this system will have a larger impact and the amounts and locations of the snowfall. Residents are encouraged to stay abreast of this winter weather situation throughout this weekend
