Winter Weather Advisory Issued for Chicago Area

A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for the Chicago area and southeastern Wisconsin due to expected snowfall and strong winds on Thursday morning. In Chicago, snow accumulations of 2-3 inches are likely, with the heaviest snowfall occurring between 8 a.m. and noon. Winds gusting over 40 mph will create visibility issues and complicate travel conditions, although major roads may be less affected due to warm pavement. In southeastern Wisconsin, snow is expected to accumulate up to 4-5 inches in some areas, particularly the Kettle Moraine region, with similar wind gusts leading to hazardous travel conditions. Temperatures will warm throughout the day, transitioning snow to rain and aiding in snow melt by evening. Residents in both regions are advised to exercise caution while traveling and to monitor local weather updates.
