Special Weather Statement

…Wind Chills May Drop Below Zero Again Tonight and Very Light
Snow Is Possible…

An upper-level disturbance will bring at least some snow flurries
to mainly southern Illinois, southwestern Indiana and western
Kentucky as it moves southward tonight and early Friday. There is
some potential for a light coating of snow overnight, especially
in the Pinckneyville, Mount Vernon, Fairfield, and Benton
Illinois areas. Unfortunately, with the extremely cold air in
place across the region, any coating of snow may cause slick
spots on roads, sidewalks, and parking lots.

In addition, wind chills may once again drop below zero in the
overnight hours along and north of Interstate 64 in southwestern
Indiana and adjacent parts of southeastern Illinois, where
readings as low as 3 below zero are possible.

Confidence in the precipitation forecast is quite low, and this
could end up as just another cold night with some snow flurries.
Stay tuned for the latest forecasts and statements from the
National Weather Service in Paducah Kentucky.
