.DISCUSSION...
Dry weather will prevail across central and southeast Illinois
today. Thanks to light winds and low mixing heights, ventilation
will be poor. By late tonight, a storm system will spread
accumulating snow into the region ahead of Saturday morning. The
winter storm will exit late Saturday evening, and winds will
become gusty out of the west.
