IMPACTS BY TIMING: Here’s a look at how impacts are anticipated across cities in our area. If your city isn’t listed, find the cities nearest you and that’s a similar forecast for you.
Highest impacts occur where freezing rain lasts the longest north of I-74. Going to watch Decatur/Champaign/Danville for potentially higher impacts into the afternoon commute, pending where temperatures sit with that magic 32° number we need to get to end ice.

Radar may not show the precipitation on a day like today as it starts because often drizzle is shallow and forms/falls below the radar beam!

Ice now showing up on some of the cameras from Jacksonville into Western Illinois. Slippery conditions are not far away. Remember, you can see the latest road conditions on the WCIA 3 Winter Weather Center and the WCIA 3 News and Weather Apps.
You can find the latest forecast details updated on the WCIA 3 Weather Forecast on the Weather Now Article.
Don’t forget some of the safety things related to ice on roads. Be extra cautious on bridges, but even surface roads that are untreated can ice up quickly. Avoid using your brakes and turning if you can. You want to try and coast across the ice if you hit a slippery patch.
