If temperatures stay below freezing, by around Saturday afternoon and continuing overnight, heavier snow is expected to make its way into the region, particularly in areas north of Interstate 80, including Lake, DuPage, Kendall, Kane and northern Cook counties.
Some areas on the southern end of the system could see mixed precipitation or even rain, as temperatures are likely to remain warmer.
