Wet, windy conditions Saturday in Chicago with minor ice accumulations in NW suburbs
CHICAGO (CBS) — Grab the umbrella as steady, cold rain arrives in the Chicago area Saturday afternoon and continues overnight.
For areas north and west of the city, a wintry mix will be possible at times, especially during the early afternoon, with sleet and freezing rain being a main concern. A Winter Weather Advisory was issued for De Kalb and McHenry counties from noon until 6 p.m. and La Salle County until 3 p.m. Saturday.
Until temperatures warm up enough during the late afternoon into the upper 30s, a light wintry mix will be possible, but for the majority of Chicagoland, the precipitation type will primarily be rain.
Temperatures overnight will remain in the upper 30s, with soaking rainfall. Sunday morning's weather will feature leftover rain showers and areas of fog. It will be warmer, with highs in the middle 40s, and Chicago will start to dry out from the rain by mid-morning.
We start next week with temperatures rising into the 50s and scattered rain showers.
