* WHERE...In Illinois, Brown IL County. In Missouri, Monroe MO 
  County.

* WHEN...For the Wind Chill Warning, until 6 PM CST Monday. For 
  the Winter Weather Advisory, from 6 AM Sunday to 6 PM CST 
  Monday.

* IMPACTS...Plan on slippery road conditions. The hazardous 
  conditions could impact the morning or evening commute. The 
  cold wind chills could cause frostbite on exposed skin in as 
  little as 30 minutes.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Wind Chill Warning means the combination of very cold air and
strong winds will create dangerously low wind chill values. This
will result in frost bite and lead to hypothermia or death if
precautions are not taken. If you must venture outdoors, be
certain to dress properly, with several layers of light-weight,
loose fitting clothing and making sure that all exposed skin is
covered. 

A Winter Weather Advisory for snow means that periods of
accumulating snow will primarily cause travel difficulties. Roads
may rapidly become slippery once the snow begins, so motorists
should plan for a slower than normal trip. Be especially alert
when approaching bridges, overpasses, and curves.
