If you were one of those early-risers or 3rd shifters, you may have been welcomed a little bit of snow. Light snow moved in overnight last night bringing very light accumulations to the area. Most of us ended up with an inch or less as we were on the northern fringe of round 1 with this snowstorm. If you or some of your family live in central or southern Illinois, you were welcomed to much more heftier snowfall totals. Roads were a bit slick this morning, and some (mostly back roads) were snow covered. That is because roads were just cold enough for snow to stick. But now that snow plows have had time to clear the roads up, road conditions have significantly improved as the morning progressed. Just be mindful about any slick spots that remain.
The rest of our Monday is going to stay on the quiet side. Clouds do stick around for most of our day, but the possibility of a few peeks of sun later on are not out of the question. Temperatures look to stay seasonably cool as a light northerly breeze settles in, holding our highs in the low 30s. Regarding round 2, the pesky low that is causing all of this messy weather across a good chunk of the low 48 is going to track south of the region. Because of that, the next batch of snow will be restricted to central and southern Illinois once again. For us, we could see a few more clouds build in this evening. But once this low tracks into the Tennessee Valley, any snow chances and cloud cover will begin to decrease. Skies overnight will clear out allowing temperatures to "bottom out" as we say, or rapidly drop into the teens making for a very cold night. Lows by daybreak should wind up in the upper teens. BRRRRR.
