While most of the Chicago area dealt with accumulating snow and slick roads on Wednesday, the wintry conditions are just beginning for the upper Midwest thanks to a parade of weather disturbances that are threatening to deliver more snow for the foreseeable future.
Due to Wednesday’s weather system, portions of the NBC 5 viewing area in northern Illinois and northwest Indiana have reported anywhere from 3-to-4 inches of snow, with some locally-heavier totals reported in Will and DuPage counties.
A light dusting is expected in most locations, though some parts of the far northern suburbs could potentially see nearly an inch of snow.A much-more significant disturbance is expected to arrive Saturday morning, spreading snowfall out across northern Illinois as it moves across the upper Midwest. Over the course of Saturday and Sunday, anywhere between 3-to-5 inches of snow could fall in areas north of Interstate 80, with locally-heavier totals possible in some locations.
