ILX

Colder than normal weather conditions will be the rule through most of next week as cold Canadian air moves into the Midwest. Expect highs from the upper 30s to mid 40s, and lows mainly in the 20s. A series of disturbances will bring chances for rain and snow about every other day, and some light snow accumulations will be possible early Friday and again Saturday night.
