Chicago, IL – Freezing drizzle and potential ice accumulation could disrupt travel late Sunday night into Monday morning across Illinois and northwest Indiana. Residents planning trips should exercise caution as roadways may become slick.
According to the National Weather Service, freezing rain may begin Sunday night, with temperatures hovering near freezing. By Monday morning, a chance of light rain is expected to replace freezing drizzle as temperatures rise into the low 40s. However, untreated surfaces could remain hazardous into early Monday.
Northwest Indiana, including areas near Porter County, may experience lingering lake-effect snow showers today, with light accumulations possible. While Saturday remains clear and cold, Sunday will bring partly sunny skies and temperatures climbing to the mid-30s.
Heading into Christmas week, Tuesday will see mostly cloudy skies and highs in the upper 30s, with rain possible by evening. Christmas Day temperatures are expected to reach the low 40s, though scattered showers could dampen festivities.
Drivers should remain alert for icy patches, particularly on bridges and overpasses. Those traveling late Sunday or early Monday should consider delaying their trips if conditions worsen.
