(WAND WEATHER)- The first widespread snow of the season fell across Central Illinois early Tuesday.
Â
Once the saturation process took place before daybreak, snow began falling.
Accumulations across the area will range from 1/2" southeast to as much as 3" northwest. A "Winter Weather Advisory" remains in effect through noon Tuesday for our northern and western counties.
Â
More light snow is possible Wednesday and Thursday with minor accumulations.
Â
Bitterly cold air settles in for the rest of the week.
Â
Highs Friday through the weekend will be in the 20s to around 30°. Overnight lows will drop into the teens with wind chills in the single digits.
Â
It starts to warm up as Thanksgiving week kicks off.
