Winter Weather Advisory for all of Southern Illinois

Winter weather advisory issued for much of the area tomorrow. I think all of our Heartland counties will go under an advisory for light snow tomorrow. Most areas will see a half inch to an inch with local areas up to two inches possible. Even a half in ch of snow will cause slick travel to develop in areas.
