After a mild start to November weather, things are about to change, according to NBC 5 Storm Team Meteorologist Alicia Roman.
The first chance for snowflakes has arrived in Chicago-area forecasts.
According to Roman, Chicagoans can expect a couple dry and breezy days this week before rain moves in Thursday night and into Friday.
Another round of rain is likely Saturday and into Sunday, where some snowflakes could mix in with the precipitation as things turn “sharply colder.”
The coldest air of the season so far is set to arrive Sunday and continue into early next week.
Temps begin dropping Saturday, with highs dipping into the upper 40s and then into the low to mid 40s, possibly even into the 30s for some, by Sunday.
The chance for snowflakes to arrive in part of the area falls slightly later than average.
According to the National Weather Service, Chicago normally sees its first trace of snowfall around Oct. 31, with its first measurable snow occurring a few weeks later, around Nov. 18.
It typically takes until December for Chicago to get its first snowfall of an inch or more, with that date typically falling on Dec. 7, according to the NWS.
Last year, the city’s first trace of snow fell on Nov. 20, and the first measurable snow occurred the next day on Nov. 21, with 2.9 inches of snow falling.
