Roads were wet and a little slick from the rain and snow that occurred Tuesday, but none of the snow really stuck around as temperatures stayed at or above freezing. While Wednesday will feature mostly dry, but cloudy, conditions the chance for snow looks to return for some Thursday afternoon.
A piece of energy currently off the Pacific Northwest coast and tied to low-pressure in the Gulf of Alaksa will move onshore Wednesday. From there, it'll move across the Plains and into the Midwest Thursday morning. At the surface a weak low-pressure system will develop, pushing slightly warmer air into Missouri and Iowa. This will result in a band of snow developing, moving into Illinois Thursday afternoon.
The center of the low stays south of the Stateline but light snow may move in for some across northern Illinois Thursday afternoon and evening. The highest chance for any accumulating snow stays to the south, across central Illinois, but areas north of I-88 and south of Highway 20 may see some snow showers during the afternoon and evening. Temperatures in the 20s will allow whatever falls to stick, which could create some slick conditions through the evening.
