Chicago, IL – Drivers across parts of the Midwest are being urged to slow down Sunday as Winter Weather Advisories remain in effect through this evening, bringing light snow, reduced visibility, and hazardous road conditions across Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Wisconsin.
According to the National Weather Service, additional snow accumulations of up to one inch are expected across much of northern and central Illinois, including the Chicago metro area, with visibility occasionally dropping below one mile—especially during heavier bursts Sunday afternoon and evening.
In southern Michigan, advisories cover Eaton, Barry, Kalamazoo, Ingham, Calhoun, and Jackson counties, where light snow is expected to continue until 10 p.m. EST. Officials warn untreated roads may quickly become slick, particularly on bridges and secondary streets.
Meanwhile, parts of northern Indiana could see 1 to 2 inches of snow, with lake-effect snow showers lingering into early Monday in areas including Elkhart, Starke, Marshall, Kosciusko, and LaGrange counties. Travel conditions may change rapidly as snow bands shift.
In southeastern Wisconsin, Milwaukee and Racine counties remain under advisory until 3 p.m. CST, with lake-effect snow pushing totals as high as 5 inches near the Lake Michigan shoreline, where localized heavier bands are possible.
The National Weather Service advises motorists to slow down, allow extra stopping distance, and use caution on sidewalks and driveways, where icy patches may develop quickly. Travelers can check the latest road conditions by dialing 511 in their state.
