Chicago, IL – A winter storm will bring heavy, wet snow and rain to the Midwest beginning Tuesday, with Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin at risk for significant impacts. Travel disruptions are expected as the system moves through the region.

Areas north of the system may see heavy snow, while southern regions, including Missouri, Indiana, and Ohio, could experience a mix of rain and snow. Strong winds may also create hazardous travel conditions.
Snowfall totals remain uncertain, but some locations could see significant accumulation. Wet, heavy snow increases the risk of power outages and difficult road conditions. Meteorologists urge residents to monitor updates as the storm’s path becomes clearer.
Travel could become dangerous by Tuesday night, with road conditions deteriorating quickly. Airlines may experience delays or cancellations in affected states.
Officials recommend preparing for winter weather by securing outdoor items, keeping emergency supplies on hand, and adjusting travel plans as needed. More updates will be provided as the system develops.
