Chicago, IL – Another round of winter weather is set to impact Illinois this weekend, bringing accumulating snow and hazardous travel conditions across the region.
According to the National Weather Service Chicago, a winter storm system will move in Friday night into Saturday, with accumulating snow expected across northern Illinois, including the Chicago metro area. Snowfall amounts are still being determined, but forecasters warn of the potential for slick roads and reduced visibility, especially during peak travel times.
Snow may mix with rain south of Interstate 80, while areas farther north are more likely to see heavy accumulation. Strong winds could also lead to blowing snow, making travel hazardous. The storm follows a midweek system that brought more than six inches of snow to parts of the state.
Residents are advised to monitor forecasts and prepare for possible winter weather alerts. Those traveling this weekend should plan ahead, allow extra time, and stay updated on road conditions. Another round of colder temperatures is expected to follow the storm into early next week.
