Scott, Morgan, Sangamon, Christian, Macon, including the cities of

An upper-level weather disturbance will move southeast through
Illinois on Christmas Eve, bringing accumulating snows to central
Illinois. The snow should begin by daybreak and persist through much
of the day, eventually tapering off during the nighttime hours.
Snowfall totals of 2 to 4 inches appear likely by the time the snow
ends.
While the snowfall totals are not expected to be especially
heavy, the fact that they will be occurring on one of the busiest
travel days of the year may result in additional travel hazards and
delays. Continue to monitor the latest weather forecasts, using your
favorite media outlet, and leave sufficient time to reach your
holiday destination.
