Winter Storm Watches are now in effect across much of Central Illinois and even parts of Southern Illinois in anticipation of a winter storm to take aim on the region Sunday night into Monday. A corridor of up to 7 inches of snow is possible in some of these areas. Expect upgrades to advisories and/or warnings later today or early Monday as further details become clear. 

Right now there appears the first wave of precip will arrive as a wintry mix across Central Illinois Sunday evening, before eventually changing over to all snow by Monday. We'll have a more detailed article with event timing later today.
Detailed watch info is as follows

​ * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...A mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain may lead to hazardous driving conditions Sunday through Monday. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...  A Winter Storm Watch is advanced notice that the potential for severe winter weather exists in the Watch area, but it does not mean it is a certainty. Those in the Watch area should begin preparing in case the storm does materialize. If you have travel planned, you may want to adjust your travel time to avoid the storm. Also, you should use this advanced notice to make certain your vehicle is winterized. Make preparations at home by stocking emergency supplies, such as food, medicine, and extra heating fuel, just in case the storm makes travel impossible. This is especially important for those living in rural areas.

Our current TAM is shown below, expect an updated one later today as well. Now that the system responsible will be coming on shore, we should be able to get a better grip on what could potentially happen.
