After waking to extremely frigid temperatures this morning, Chicago is bracing for its second major storm of the winter season, and this storm is very likely to surpass the previous storms' 4.9" at O'Hare, which would make this storm the biggest of the season.
First, after a light round of snow early this morning coated the ground in the Chicago area, and left so southern sections with about an 1" of snow, temperatures have dropped to their lowest levels of the season. It is currently 8 degrees at O'Hare Airport and 11 degrees here in Romeoville at the National Weather Service Office. Temperatures are expected to continue to slightly decrease as the day goes on!! Temperatures will slowly be on the rise throughout the day tomorrow and will top out in the 20s as the next storm system approaches.
Currently, we are under a Winter Storm Watch for tomorrow as 6-10" of snow is expected to blanket the area by Saturday morning. Travel will be hazardous and snowfall rates of an inch per hour are possible with this system. More details will be available later! Stay tuned for the latest!!
