The city of Chicago itself, along with the rest of Cook County, DuPage County and Will County, has an 80% chance of seeing four or more inches of snow, according to the NBC 5 Storm Team. Areas to the south of the area, including Grundy and Kankakee counties in Illinois, have a 50% chance of seeing a snowfall of four or more inches.
