More of our region could see some snow this weekend

UPDATE:
Confidence has increased for the chances of some snow this weekend, and further south than previously forecast.

Precipitation will spread eastward into southeast Missouri and southern Illinois generally at or just after daybreak Saturday. It may begin as some light snow, but with temperatures expected to be just above freezing, any travel impacts will be brief and isolated. In addition, as the rain ends Sunday, a brief change over to snow cannot be ruled out.

Temperatures should be well above freezing, so no impacts are expected Sunday.


ORIGINAL STORY:
The recent highs in the 60s will slide into 40-degree afternoons on Wednesday and Thanksgiving Thursday, as well as Friday.

A wind advisory is in effect beginning at 3 a.m. Wednesday for parts of southeast Illinois and southwest Indiana. It will remain in effect until 3 p.m. The entire region will experience gusty winds, some up to 25 miles per hour.

Light snow is possible Saturday morning before changing to rain in the afternoon. Locations in southern Illinois along Interstate 64 have a 15-30% chance of seeing an inch of snow, with much lower chances further south.  

The weekend's active weather pattern will continue into early next week, with multiple chances for precipitation and below normal temperatures. A forecast high of only 37 on Monday could mean some rain could convert to snow for a time.
