CHICAGO (CBS)-- Another round of snow is approaching the Chicago area.

A quiet start to the day Wednesday with high temperatures in the 30s.

The snow break holds through the daylight hours until another wave of snow develops by late evening. An additional inch or two of snow accumulation through early Thursday morning is expected.

This may lead to minor travel impacts for Thursday morning commuters.

Another storm system with heavy snow, blowing snow, and strong winds is ahead for the end of the week. Winds are expected to increase through the day on Friday as snow overspreads.

Snow and blowing snow are expected into Friday night as temperatures crash to near zero by Sunday morning. Subzero wind chills are expected to hold through early next week.

This colder pattern holds for the start of next week.
