…A PERIOD OF HAZARDOUS TRAVEL IS EXPECTED ON CHRISTMAS EVE…
A fast moving storm system will bring snow to central Illinois on
Sunday. While some light snow should begin to arrive late Saturday
night west of a Peoria to Springfield line, the bulk of the snow
will fall on Sunday. Areas west of I-55 will see the snow taper
off early afternoon, and most of the region should see the snow
end by sunset. Current indications are that 1 to 2 inches of
snow is likely, with locally heavier totals from about Champaign
eastward.
Some travel difficulties are possible, due to the heavy holiday
traffic, plus the fact that this will be the first snow of the
season in some areas. If you have plans to travel on Sunday, be
sure to allow for extra time to reach your destination.
