Winter Weather Advisory Issued for Chicago Area
The National Weather Service has issued the first winter weather advisory of the season for parts of the Chicago area, including Lake County in Indiana, southern Cook County, and eastern Will County in Illinois. The advisory will be in effect from midnight Thursday through 10 a.m. Friday. Lake-effect rain showers on Thursday afternoon and evening are expected to transition into light snow overnight, leading to slushy accumulations. Wind gusts of up to 30 mph will make temperatures feel significantly colder, with wind chills dropping into the 20s. Snowfall is expected to be wet and slushy, with accumulations ranging from one to four inches in northwest Indiana and up to an inch in the Chicago area. The snow is unlikely to stick due to warm ground temperatures.
