A series of weather systems will push through the Tri-State over the weekend. We'll have periods of rain by Friday evening, and will continue with showers through Sunday. Rain amounts will range around an inch north of the Ohio River to more than 2" south of the Ohio River in Western Kentucky.

Temperatures will hover in the 60's on Saturday and Sunday and then rise into the mid to upper 70's for much of next week. More rain chances are on the horizon for Wednesday and Thursday.

The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for the southern counties of Illinois and southwest Indiana.

These counties could see ice developing in the early hours of the event today with a chance for 1 to 2 inches of accumulated snow, followed by another opportunity for sleet and freezing rain as the system moves out of the area.

There is a chance some of this winter precipitation will spill over into other Western Kentucky Counties, particularly those along the Ohio River and those specifically listed in the advisory.

INDOT urges drivers to prepare for first significant snow

The Indiana Department of Transportation is focusing attention on what is likely the first statewide winter storm of the season, and is asking motorists to do the same.

INDOT’s salt domes and barns are stocked and ready, but motorists will need to dust off winter driving habits following last year’s mild winter. Motorists are asked to promote their own safety and that of others by reducing their speed according to road conditions and increasing the distance between themselves and other vehicles, especially INDOT’s yellow plow trucks.

Another warm December day today but 14 News Chief Meteorologist Jeff Lyons says an intense winter storm is pushing toward the Great Lakes region tonight and Thursday.

Ahead of the storm, southerly winds will kick up to 30-40 mph later tonight and early Thursday morning. We have a slight risk for severe storms over southern Illinois beginning late tonight and through midday Thursday. Damaging winds will be the main threat with the storms, along with isolated tornadoes.
