Good morning, Chicago! I'm your weather buddy bringing you the chilly scoop for the next few days.
Let's dive right into this winter wonderland we're experiencing. Tonight, get ready for some snow action, likely to start after 4 in the morning. We're looking at cloudy skies and temperatures hovering around a brisk 29 degrees. Expect some serious wind - we're talking northwest winds around 20 miles per hour with gusts up to 30 miles per hour. You might catch a light dusting of less than half an inch of snow.
Sunday's forecast is all about snow and flurries. Snow will be falling before 11 in the morning, with periodic flurries throughout the day. Temperatures will play a game of hide and seek - rising to near 29 by noon, then dropping to around 25. Hold onto your hats, because those northwest winds will be howling at about 25 miles per hour, with gusts up to 35 miles per hour.
Sunday night gets seriously cold. We're talking a low around 4 degrees with wind chill values dipping to a bone-chilling negative 13. Those west northwest winds will continue to make their presence known.
Washington's Birthday will be partly sunny but frigid, with a high near 12 degrees and wind chill values around negative 14.
As we move through the week, expect mostly sunny days with temperatures gradually climbing from the low teens to the mid-twenties. Wednesday might bring a chance of snow, keeping things interesting.
