A potent low-pressure system will bring unsettled weather to Illinois Monday night into Tuesday. There is still uncertainty as to where the low will track, but models have shown the low tracking through Central Illinois. Where the low tracks will have a significant impact on the forecast from Monday into Wednesday.
Current thinking is that we will start off with rain over much of the state as the low’s center tracks through the heart of the state. As the low pushes off to the east, that’s when we can expect most of the snowfall. How much snow we see and where is hard to pinpoint at this, but it appears that the best chance for accumulating snow will be west of I-72.
This is the tricky part of the forecast.
- How much moisture will be on the back side of the system?
- How soon will cold air move into the area?
- How fast will rain change to snow?
I will continue to monitor and update the forecast and be sure follow Panaweather.com or our Facebook for the latest.
