Monday morning forecast from Meteorologist Andrew Pritchard:
ANDREW PRITCHARD: A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for Champaign County and surrounding portions of East Central Illinois until 9:00 on Monday morning. An intense band of lake-effect snow delivered a quick coating of snow and blustery winds to the region overnight, with some areas seeing an inch or two of accumulation. Strong northwest winds gusting to 40 miles per hour, along with continued falling and blowing snow will create dangerous travel conditions through the morning, especially in rural areas. Conditions will improve on Monday afternoon, as snow and gusty winds begin to fade with warmer temperatures returning to Central Illinois through the rest of the week. For Illinois Public Media news, I’m meteorologist Andrew Pritchard.
