Wintry weather hasn’t really been an issue in the Chicago area in recent weeks, but snowfall Wednesday morning could heavily impact the morning commute, and could provide the first substantial accumulations of snow most places have seen since Christmas.
A winter weather advisory now covers all of northern Illinois and northwest Indiana, according to the National Weather Service. The heaviest snow is expected to fall on areas close to Lake Michigan, though higher accumulations are possible in central Illinois and central Indiana as the storm system moves through.
In terms of timing, snow isn’t expected to really start falling until after midnight in southern portions of the NBC 5 viewing area, and the system will build into the Chicago area by 4 a.m. Wednesday. During that window between 4-and-8 a.m., an inch of snow could potentially fall in most locations, with Iroquois County in Illinois, as well as Newton and Jasper counties in Indiana, seeing a bit more in the way of accumulation.
