Impending doom? Ice storm this weekend...

If you've been anywhere near a TV, radio, or on social media this week, you've heard we are supposed to get freezing precipitation this weekend.

While the last couple of days have been windy and 'March like', temps will begin to plummet over the next few days as cold dry air from the north meets warm moist air from the Gulf directly over us.

Some computer models say we may see an inch or more of ice which would certainly hamper travel and cause havoc on trees and power lines. Some models show more, others less.

Needless to say, even a half inch of ice will shut things down and make travel very dangerous.

Forecasters say the prediction of the amount of ice could vary greatly in our area based on exactly where cold and warm air meet. Other factors such as humidity play a big role as well.

It's still early in the week- we may not see a truly accurate forecast until Thursday or so..... Mid America Live will keep you updated with the latest weather, road conditions and closures. For now, the latest forecast says freezing precip is a certainty; how much remains to be seen.

Nevada man arrested in St. Clair County

Dillion Bennett

On Jan. 9, Dillion Bennett, 33, Nevada, was arrested on a St. Clair County for failing to appear in court for a probation violation on an original class C felony burglary second degree charge and a class D felony charge of property damage first degree. Bond is set at $5,000 cash only.

The original charges stem from an incident on Dec. 31, 2015 when St. Clair County deputies were dispatched to a residence on SW 101 Road in reference to a stealing in progress. The property is owned by David Lile and the residence was recently destroyed by fire.

Deputies arrived on scene and located Bennett sitting in a truck filled with metal scrap items taken from the structure. The investigation revealed Bennett did not have permission to be on the property. 

The owner arrived on scene and identified the items and advised a metal outbuilding that was not damaged by the fire was also missing from the property. He noted the metal in the back of the truck was from the missing building. Items that were inside the building were found beside the truck. Damage to the building was estimated at $1,500 and the value of the items taken was estimated at $1,000.
