The National Weather Service in Paducah says a WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY is in effect from 12 noon today (Tuesday) until 9am Wednesday. The Weather Service says snow is expected with total snow accumulations between 2 and 4 inches in portions of Southern Illinois and Southwest Indiana. Plan on slippery road conditions. The hazardous conditions could impact the commutes this evening and Wednesday morning.
Most of the snowfall is expected to occur near sunset through the overnight hours. Dangerous cold temperatures will follow after snow ends. Low temperatures well below normal with overnight winds will cause wind chills to fall to near or below zero early Wednesday morning. The greatest impacts from the extreme cold will occur Thursday morning with wind chills of -5 to -10 along the I-64 corridor.
