The National Weather Service in Lincoln is watching a storm system developing out west that could impact travel this holiday weekend.

Ed Shimon at the National Weather Service in Lincoln earlier this week told the Hart Media Group, it was difficult to predict what exactly was coming our way because the models were showing different outcomes.

We're getting closer to knowing more about this storm as the system makes landfall. Shimon anticipates either snow or rain to impact central Illinois, and a lot of wind to come with it.

November was below average for precipitation again. Shimon indicates if it is rain that is to come with this system, parts of east-central Illinois could really use it. We'll have more with Shimon on the drought conditions next week.
