The Chicago area is expected to see freezing rain and a period of wind driven snow in the early hours of Wednesday, likely causing slippery road conditions during the morning commute.
Rain may “briefly overlap with freezing pavement, potentially causing slick travel conditions,” the National Weather Service said.
Plus, gusts of wind between 30 to 40 miles per hour were anticipated between 5 a.m. and noon, causing wind-whipped snow to fly through the area, the NWS warned.
Drivers should exercise caution and prepare for extra travel time during the morning commute, NWS advised.
Northeast Illinois and parts of far Northwest Indiana were expected to see the highest change of an inch of snow accumulating in localized areas.
