Don't plan on as much snowfall if you live in central Illinois.

The National Weather Service says the system that was expected to bring 3-5 inches of snow to the area is shifting to the south and minimal snowfall amounts are expected locally. Scott Baker with the NWS in Lincoln says we're only expecting a couple of inches in Lincoln and Clinton with smaller amounts to the north and larger amounts the farther south you get.

Baker says snowfall should begin later Saturday night and last into the morning hours Sunday.

Following the weather system that will bring this snow, Baker says there will be very cold air on the other side of it and that will last into next week and even the week following.
