Extreme cold on the way ……snow on Martin Luther King’s Birthday

.DAY ONE…Today and Tonight

Wind chill readings will hover near zero over southern Illinois
and northern portions of southeast Missouri early this morning.

Road conditions will remain slick and hazardous in many areas this
morning. Numerous roads are still not plowed. This is especially
true for secondary and back roads that are less traveled. Some
improvement is possible this afternoon.

Wind chills will drop below zero over much of the region late this
evening, but as winds diminish overnight, the air temperature is
likely to drop below zero in snow and ice covered areas.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN…Sunday through Friday

A burst of accumulating snow is expected as a storm system and
Arctic cold front dive southeast through the region Monday into
Monday night.

Wind chills will fall into the 5 below zero to 15 below zero
range Monday night, and into the zero to 10 below zero range
Tuesday night.
