A winter weather system bringing Blizzard Warnings to Minnesota and Winter Storm Warnings to Wisconsin is set to arrive in the Chicago area Wednesday morning, with ice, sleet, freezing rain, thunder and winds gusting as high as 35 miles per hour set to impact different parts of the region throughout the day.
According to the NBC 5 Storm Team, some areas could see up to half an inch of ice accumulation, creating dangerous travel conditions on roads.
There, ice projections range .10 to .30 inches, with .31 inches predicted in Elgin, to .18 inches predicted in Lake Forest and Buffalo Grove. By the afternoon, sleet and freezing rain is expected to the north, while heavy downpours can be expected farther south, the NBC 5 Storm Team says. Across the area, the NWS says, a mix of strong winds and wintery precipitation will likely impact the afternoon commute.
