Snow has been anticipated this weekend and next week but forecasters have had a difficult time pinning down how much, when, and where, the snow would fall.

While there's still some uncertainty, Ed Shimon at the National Weather Service in Lincoln told Regional Radio this Friday evening into Saturday should bring around an inch, maybe more local higher amounts to central Illinois.

According to Shimon, whether this system produces snow or not, models are consistent in showing it is going to be a wet weekend in the Midwest.

As for the snow event next week, Shimon anticipates it being wet and heavy snow with it eventually impacting roads and sidewalks. If you must travel, be aware of the conditions on your route, slow down, and give yourself time to and from your destination.
