A winter weather advisory now in effect for the entire Chicago area has lead to slush, widespread snow showers and low visibility for the morning commute.
While snow showers in Lake, DuPage and Cook counties are expected to taper by Wednesday afternoon, light and scattered lake effect showers are expected to continue through the evening and into Thursday, particularly in Lake, Porter and LaPorte counties in Indiana.
Temperatures Wednesday and Thursday, the NBC 5 Storm Team says, are expected to hover in the low-to-mid 30s, but dropping as the week continues.A quick, second system is expected to blow through Illinois and Indiana on Friday, with some mixed precipitation and additional snow possible, according to forecast models.
Saturday, another system is predicted to push snow into northern Illinois, the NBC 5 Storm Team says, hitting areas to the west and north of Chicago harder than Wednesday’s system likely will. In northern Lake county in Illinois, those totals may be a bit lower, forecast models show. In Lake, Porter, Newtown and Jasper counties in Indiana, however, those totals are likely to be higher, with four to five inches of accumulation possible.
