Chicago, IL – Snow is set to arrive overnight into Thursday morning across northern Illinois and northwest Indiana, potentially creating slushy road conditions. Rain will transition to snow late Wednesday evening, with the heaviest snowfall likely during the early morning hours.

According to the National Weather Service, widespread wet snow will develop across the region, leading to minor slushy accumulations, especially on grassy and untreated surfaces. Thursday morning commutes may experience disruptions due to snow-covered areas and strong winds.

Temperatures are expected to hover in the low 30s, creating ideal conditions for snow formation. As the day progresses, snowfall will switch back to rain by the afternoon, clearing much of the accumulation.

Drivers should remain cautious of slick roads, particularly on elevated surfaces. Visibility could also drop during periods of heavier snowfall, impacting travel across the area. Residents should monitor local forecasts for updates on the evolving conditions.

The weather pattern will remain active through the end of the week, with lingering precipitation possible Friday. Prepare for changing road conditions and adjust plans accordingly.
