Below normal precipitation is favored across central Illinois heading into June. Little or no precipitation is expected for late May into early June as well. As a result, a risk of rapid onset drought is forecast for the area. #ilwx

Deep low pressure will track across the Midwest of Ohio Valley later this week. This has the potential to bring strong winds, heavy rain, and accumulating snow. #ILwx

SPHL drama in Danville, where host Vermilion County never showed up for game vs Quad City. It's a forfeit win for QC. Most bizarre thing I've seen in 40 years covering pro hockey. QC bused in, skated warmups, lined up national anthem/faceoff, skated a lap, then saluted "crowd"

You may be wondering, what are the chances of seeing more than 2 inches of snow in my location? What are the chances I'll see more than 4 inches? While our uncertainty is high in exact amounts, confidence is increasing we'll see at least a few inches out of this system.

Significant travel impacts are expected late this week, especially Thursday through Friday. Alter travel plans if you can, otherwise prepare now if you must travel. Have your vehicle checked and include a winter survival kit. #ILwx
