Chilly temperatures and the potential of accumulating snow are in the forecast for Southern Illinois this weekend.
Skies will be sunny Friday with a high of 33, according to the National Weather Service. That’s 23 degrees colder than the usual high temperature of 56 for Nov. 14 in this area.
Overnight the temperature will drop to 20, seven degrees warmer than the all time low for this date, 13, set in 1940.
On Saturday there is a 70 percent chance of snow in the forecast with a high of 34. Accumulation is expected to be about half an inch to an inch, enough to make roads slick and potentially dangerous.
The low will drop to 25 overnight Saturday with a 60 percent chance of snow.
There is a 20 percent chance of snow Sunday when the high will reach 36. The overnight low will be 21.
There is no break from the cold expected anytime soon. The extended forecast calls for a high of 30 for Monday and the mercury will only reach 27 Tuesday.
