PEORIA, Ill. — A strong weather system will skirt through the Midwest this weekend, bringing freezing rain and wind, before the snowfall Saturday evening.
Ice that accumulates on trees and power lines combined with cold temperatures and high wind gusts can result in damage to electric infrastructure and cause power outages.
Ameren Illinois says it’s ready for any power restoration work needed due to the storm.
Ameren has activated its emergency operations center to prepare for potential outages that may result from severe weather expected late Friday night and into Saturday.
