Chicago area residents are being urged to bundle up as the coldest temperatures of the season arrive in the area late Tuesday and into Wednesday.
Lake, Porter, LaPorte, Newton and Jasper counties will also be included in the advisory, but not until midnight, according to the National Weather Service. The advisory will remain in effect until 10 a.m. Central time.
Wind chills could potentially drop to 20 degrees below zero across northern Indiana, according to the advisory. The worst of the cold will occur in far northern Illinois, according to National Weather Service forecasts. The coldest wind chills will likely be recorded between 3 a.m. and 9 a.m. Wednesday, and wind chills likely won’t climb back into positive figures even when temps hit their high in the afternoon.
In areas near Rockford, wind chills could potentially plunge as much as 30 degrees below zero, with low temperatures expected to drop to 15 degrees below zero in an area that also includes DeKalb and Dixon, among other communities. While it's been cold the past few days, the coldest temperatures and wind chills so far this winter in our area will be seen tonight and tomorrow morning. To avoid frostbite, limit your time outdoors, if possible, and dress in multiple layers from head to toe.
