Severe Weather Impacts Chicago: Snowstorm Disrupts Small Business Saturday

Snow that fell overnight in the Chicago area will slowly start to taper off Sunday, but more chances for precipitation loom in the forecast. According to the National Weather Service, some parts of the area received more than six inches of snow overnight, with seven inches of snow falling in Lindenhurst, six inches in northwest Indiana, and four inches in the city of Chicago.

The snow is expected to taper off during the morning hours Sunday, though lake-effect snow could still impact northwest Indiana into the late morning and early afternoon. Temperatures are expected to gradually decrease throughout the day, remaining in the mid-to-upper 20s during daylight hours before dropping into the teens overnight into Monday.

Partly-to-mostly cloudy skies are expected Monday in the Chicago area. Another quick-moving clipper system could deliver a dusting of snow overnight Monday and into Tuesday. Tuesday will see temperatures rise above the freezing mark across the area, with readings climbing into the upper-30s for much of the region.

This will be accompanied by another system moving through the region, causing rain or mixed precipitation Tuesday evening. More rain could fall Wednesday, though it is expected that the precipitation will eventually transition to snow as temperatures dip for the back half of the work week.

By Thursday, the precipitation is expected to clear out of the region, with temperatures on the chilly side Friday, with readings in the low-20s for several days. Stay tuned to the NBC 5 Storm Team for the latest weather updates and download the NBC Chicago app for real-time alerts.
