Chicago's Wild Weather Weekend: Storms, Snow, and Chills

Chicago is in for a weather rollercoaster this Sunday. The day kicked off with strong thunderstorms in the western parts of the state, with Peoria and its surroundings under a severe thunderstorm warning around 9:30 a. m. The Chicago area, particularly south of Interstate 80, is on alert for severe storms, but heavy rain and storms could happen anywhere in the region.After these intense storms pass, a cold front will sweep through, bringing strong winds and a chance of snow. This snow, driven by the wind, could make it hard to see and create slippery roads as temperatures drop. By Monday morning, wind chills could feel like they're below zero, and the area could see anywhere from a light dusting to a couple of inches of snow. To stay on top of the changing weather, you can use live interactive radar tools to track what's happening in your area. This kind of weather reminds us how quickly conditions can change, and why it's important to be prepared.
