Chicago, IL – Light flurries are forecast across northern Illinois early Saturday, creating potentially hazardous road conditions during the morning commute.

The National Weather Service (NWS) expects snow to begin late Friday night and persist through mid-morning Saturday. Though snowfall accumulations will remain under an inch, untreated roads, bridges, and overpasses could become icy, particularly in areas along I-55 and I-80. Temperatures in the low teens will make road surfaces slick, posing risks for early travelers.

Saturday afternoon will bring partly cloudy skies and a high in the mid-30s, reducing snow-related hazards. However, subfreezing overnight temperatures may result in refreezing on surfaces by Sunday morning. Drivers should plan extra travel time, slow down, and exercise caution on less-traveled roads and during sharp turns.

This brief bout of snow is part of a warming trend heading into the weekend. Sunday and Monday will feature highs in the upper 30s, though gusty winds may persist. Northern Illinois residents are advised to monitor local conditions and ensure vehicles are winter-ready. Keeping an emergency kit, including blankets and food, can help travelers navigate winter weather safely.
