It's looking to be a mild winter for Central Illinois due to a possible El Nino developing.
Chris Miller, with the National Weather Service in Lincoln, indicates they are keeping an eye out for a possible El Nino developing.
Miller says with an El Nino we typically see a milder winter for Central Illinois with warmer temperatures and less winter precipitation.
Miller cautions that we can still see ice and snow storms with an El Nino even though they will be less often than during a regular winter.
