...SLOW AND SLIPPERY ROAD CONDITION WILL BE FOLLOWED BY BELOW
ZERO WIND CHILLS THIS MORNING...
Snow will fall across the area this morning leading to a slow and
slippery road conditions. Peak snow rates near 0.5"/hr will occur
between 2 and 6 AM near I-39, 4 and 8 AM in the Chicago metropolitan
area, and 5 and 9 AM in northwestern Indiana. With temperatures only
in the teens, road treatments may be less effective leading to
widespread, snow-covered roads. As a result, the morning commute may
be exceptionally slow and slippery.
As snow is tapering this morning, a cold front will race across the
area. Temperatures will fall between daybreak and noon, causing
wind chills to drop to -10 to -15F. Such cold temperatures may
make snow removal efforts even harder after snow is done falling.
Temperatures will slowly rise this afternoon with highs in the
teens.
Plan for extra travel time this morning, travel at slow speeds,
and leave extra distance between you and the car in front of you.
In addition, wear multiple layers from head to toe when going
outdoors, including if using public transportation or commuting by
foot.
