If you’ve enjoyed the Chicago area’s spring-like weather, brace yourself: we’re about to swing back into winter, as temperatures go from 50 degrees to blustery winds and accumulating snow over the next few days.
Winter will make a rather abrupt return to Chicago late Wednesday night into Thursday, the NBC 5 Storm Team says, as a winter weather watch for north central and northeast Illinois will go into effect at 3 a.m. and continue through 9 p.m. Thursday.
In Lake and McHenry counties, a winter storm watch will go into effect at 3 a.m., with winds of up to 40 mph and the potential for heavy snow accumulations between three and six inches. Total accumulations could exceed six inches in some places, along with minor ice accumulations. According to the NBC 5 Storm team, the snow is expected to begin after the morning commute, potentially snarling roads as drivers hit the roads in the afternoon.
