Chicago, IL – Freezing drizzle early Monday may cause slick roads and hazardous travel conditions across the region.

According to the National Weather Service Chicago, freezing drizzle is expected to develop between 5 a.m. and 10 a.m. Monday. The highest risk for ice-covered surfaces is in areas shaded orange on their map, which includes Kankakee, Joliet, and parts of northwest Indiana. A glaze of ice could form on untreated surfaces like sidewalks, roads, and overpasses, creating commuting challenges.

Forecasters estimate a 40-50% chance of freezing drizzle, with localized areas seeing a higher likelihood. Travelers are urged to use caution, check road conditions before leaving, and allow extra time for their morning commutes.
