Bitter cold for the week to come in Chicago
CHICAGO (CBS) — Bitterly cold temperatures are the weather headline to start the workweek.
Overnight Sunday into Monday, temperatures are expected to drop to the low teens, but due to breezy conditions, wind chill values will drop as low as -5 late Sunday night through Monday morning.
Any wet surfaces overnight have the potential to refreeze, so be mindful of slick and icy area roads and sidewalks.
On Monday afternoon, highs will peak in the upper teens with wind chills remaining in the single digits.
Clearing skies overnight will give us sunshine throughout Chicago on Monday.
A quick-hitting system will impact the Midwest Tuesday morning, which returns snow showers and reinforces a cold shot of air.
Snow showers will be minimal, but the feels-like temperatures will range from -10 to -15 Tuesday morning.
Actual highs during the afternoon will only reach mid-teens.
