Special Weather Statement issued December 14 at 2:50PM CST by NWS Lincoln IL
Additional Details Here.
South to southwest winds will increase late tonight mainly after 4 am with gusts as high as 25 to 30 mph on Monday morning into early Monday afternoon.

Special Weather Statement issued December 13 at 6:33PM CST by NWS Lincoln IL
Additional Details Here.
In light of the 4 to 8 inches of fluffy snow that fell over the area on Saturday, northwest winds gusting from 20 to 25 mph overnight will result in some blowing and drifting snow on area roadways. Many roads are already snow covered and hazardous, especially in rural areas. Given that wind chills will fall to colder than 20 below zero overnight, getting stuck while traveling will be especially dangerous. If you must travel tonight, leave plenty of distance between vehicles, make sure you have an emergency kit with you, and notify someone of your travel plans and expected arrival time.

Special Weather Statement issued December 10 at 8:04PM CST by NWS Lincoln IL
Additional Details Here.
Snow is forecast to overspread much of central and southeast Illinois Thursday afternoon and evening, resulting in diminished visibilities and slick roadways. Uncertainty is unusually high in the location of heaviest accumulations, but a narrow corridor of totals over 4 inches is expected, with the highest chances (30-50%) near the I-74 corridor. On the southern edge of the heavier snow, a wintry mix including ice pellets and rain can be expected. Drive slow and allow extra stopping distance on the evening commute.
