Lincoln, IL – A significant change in weather is on the horizon for Central Illinois, as the National Weather Service has issued alerts for a strong cold front ushering in scattered storms across the eastern part of the state. In the wake of this front, gusty northwest winds and a sharp decline in temperatures are expected to follow. This system is also likely to bring a light mixture of rain and snow tonight into Thursday, with temperatures dipping well below normal.
