NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE UPDATE
Warnings and advisories remain in effect.
In general, a transition to mainly freezing rain and drizzle is expected through the evening hours while the heaviest of the precipitation gradually winds down from west to east. Even in southern counties where plain rain has been falling, icing continues in the trees with a very shallow sub-freezing layer.
While some melting of ice remains possible in southern/eastern counties this evening, much colder air on the back side of the system will change leftover precipitation to light snow overnight and into Monday morning. This will result in an accumulation of 1 to 2 inches of new snowfall through Monday morning, with heaviest accumulation focused across northern sections of southeast Missouri, southern Illinois, and southwest Indiana.
In addition, plunging temperatures will likely cause refreezing of roadways, even where melting has been observed this afternoon. Those locations across the heart of the Quad State region, roughly in and near the Ice Storm Warning area, will likely continue to experience downed tree branches and power lines causing extensive power outages through the night and into Monday given the gusty winds anticipated.
