Good morning, Chicago! This is your Weather Whisper with the latest chilly update from the Windy City.
Hold onto your warm coats, because winter is delivering a frosty punch today! We're looking at a bone-chilling forecast that'll make you want to cuddle up with hot cocoa.
Overnight, expect snow after 4 in the morning with temperatures holding steady around 14 degrees Fahrenheit. The wind chill will plummet to a teeth-chattering 1 degree. Winds will be whipping from the west southwest around 10 miles per hour, with gusts up to 20 miles per hour. Snow accumulation will be less than half an inch, but trust me, it'll feel like a winter wonderland out there!
Tuesday brings more snow, mainly before 8 in the morning. Temperatures will hover around 15 degrees Fahrenheit, with wind chills dropping to a brutal negative 7 degrees. Brace yourselves for a blustery northwest wind between 10 to 20 miles per hour, with gusts up to 25 miles per hour.
The rest of the week looks like a meteorological mood swing. We'll see sunny moments on Wednesday with a high near 21 degrees Fahrenheit, and by Friday, we might even hit a relatively balmy 40 degrees. Saturday keeps things cool with highs around 33 degrees, and Martin Luther King Day will be a crisp one with temperatures struggling to reach 10 degrees.
For those planning outdoor activities, layer up, protect your exposed skin, and limit time outside during these frigid conditions.
