Rain and snow that moved through the area on Sunday night should be coming to an end on Monday morning before sunrise. At the time of this writing (9 pm Sunday) it appears the chances for any significant accumulations of snow are fairly low. If a band of snow were to set up over the area then some accumulation would be possible on grassy surfaces. Would not rule out a band of 1-3" of snow.
This is highly dependent on whether or not the band of snow can actually develop. Bottom line - low confidence in any accumulation and the most likely area for accumulation would be over southeast Missouri and southern Illinois. There is even a chance of some of that snow snow/rain mix pushing into parts of western Kentucky as the system pulls away late on Sunday night and early Monday morning. Again, this is not a big deal and most people wouldn't even see the snow because it will be so early in the morning (early Monday morning between 12 am and 4 am)
I did note that one of the high resolution models did show 1-4" of snow over southeast Missouri into southern Illinois. Wet snow. Below is the graphic - it is a tough call because ground temperatures are warm and temperatures are marginal for snow accumulation. Again, really not a big deal.
Otherwise, an unsettled weather pattern ahead of us. Cool days with below normal temperatures and several chances of rain (and even snow over some of our counties - we just can't shake the late winter pattern).
I am forecasting warmer weather this coming weekend! We will likely see some 60s and 70s by Saturday and Sunday! I know all of you are looking forward to warmer temperatures.

I am watching a potential severe weather maker for the central United States around Sunday into Monday (April 3rd through April 5th). Long way off - but worth watching. There could be several rounds of severe weather over the next couple of weeks as we see a potential shift in the overall pattern. Stay tuned!
