A dusting to 0.5" will be possible, but even then, it will not be widespread.

A bigger storm system is gaining confidence Wednesday into Thursday. This snowstorm looks to have a lot of moisture associated with it, meaning at least a few inches of accumulating snow right now are looking more likely.

Exact numbers are still getting fine-tuned, but the CBS News Chicago First Alert team has posted Weather Alerts for Wednesday and Thursday to give you a heads-up about the incoming system which will impact travel area-wide. 

Another system will blast through Saturday, with another round of snow. This week will also be colder with highs primarily in the 20s.
