Two Chicago-area counties will be under a winter weather advisory starting Tuesday evening as forecasters warn of the potential for several inches of snow.
The alert takes effect at 8 p.m. in Lake and McHenry counties. It remains in effect through 6 a.m. Wednesday.
An advisory for Kenosha County begins at 9 p.m. and continues through 6 a.m. Wednesday, according to the National Weather Service.
“Be prepared for hazardous travel due to snow covered roads. The slippery conditions may also impact part of the Wednesday morning commute,” the alert states.
Snow accumulations of between 2 and 5 inches are possible, with the highest totals expected near the Wisconsin-Illinois state line.
“By the time you head out for the morning commute [Wednesday], snow will be gone, but roads could be problematic,” NBC 5 Storm Team Meteorologist Alicia Roman said.
According to the National Weather Service, the hazardous travel conditions will be possible from late evening Tuesday through early Wednesday before another front moves in, bringing more snow showers and gusty winds that could cause additional blowing and drifting snow through Wednesday evening.
The second round is expected to begin around 5 p.m. Wednesday, starting in counties to the west.
“Just in time for the afternoon and evening commutes,” Roman said. According to the National Weather Service, the snow could be paired with winds up to 35 mph.
Dangerous cold then returns later in the week.
Temperatures Friday morning will be below zero, Roman warned, with “feels-like” temperatures as low as -35 degrees. In counties to the north and west, wind chills between -35 and -40 were possible.
Saturday, temperatures will remain in the single digits, Roman said, with highs moving into the teens by Sunday.
