After a windy and snowy Thursday, the Chicago area Friday is in for a calmer but colder day. And while the snowfall came to an end overnight for much of the region, highways, streets and sidewalks are covered in one big effect from the storm: Ice.
Aside from lingering, lake effect snow still falling in parts of Northwest Indiana, Friday is expected to be quiet and calm but cold, with wind chills making temperatures feel that much icier.
Early Friday, O'Hare International Airport recorded a temperature of 20 degrees, with wind chills in the single digits. According to the NBC 5 Storm Team, early morning clouds are expected to make way for partly sunny skies, with high temperatures reaching into the mid to upper 20s. However, a weekend warmup is around the corner, with mostly sunny skies and high temperatures in the low 40s predicted for Saturday, forecast models show.
Sunday is expected to be even warmer, with mostly sunny skies and highs in the upper 40s. South of the city, in Kankakee County, temperatures could reach up to 50 degrees, the NBC 5 Storm Team says.
