Cold air blasts into Central Illinois after our first round of wintry weather.
Â
Light snow will move out of the Plains late Saturday night into Sunday and bring us a taste of winter.Â
Â
As temperatures warm through the 30s Sunday, the snow will become a rain and snow mix north and west and all rain south and east.
Â
Total snow accumulations will be an inch or two across the northern and northwestern hometowns. The rest of Central Illinois will pick up a dusting to an inch.
Â
Â
While not a major snow, it does fall on a big travel weekend so take it easy early Sunday.
Â
After the snow ends, very cold air moves in early next week. Â
Â
Overnight lows Sunday and Monday will drop into the teens to around 20°.  With breezy conditions, it'll feel like the single digits Monday and Tuesday mornings.
Sunshine returns Monday through Thursday with a warming trend for the middle and end of the week.
