Timing... snow will continue overnight across Missouri and Illinois. The accumulating snow is expected to end on Thursday morning.
* Accumulations... the heaviest snow accumulation of 6 to 7 inches is expected along the Interstate 70 corridor in Illinois. Accumulations in the 2 to 5 inch range are forecast for areas outside the Interstate 70 corridor in west central and southwest Illinois.
A Winter Storm Warning means that 6 inches or more of snow is expected. The rapid accumulation of snow will make travel extremely difficult... if not impossible. If travel is necessary... make sure to exercise caution. Begin your travel with a tank full of gas... and carry a winter storm kit which includes a shovel... flashlight... cellphone... and blankets or extra warm clothing.
