The city of Chicago is no stranger to strange weather events and unique phenomena, but this weekend’s snowstorm added to that lore.

The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Watch, which is set to go into effect for the Chicago area at 3 a.m. Saturday and remain in effect until 6 a.m. Sunday.

A winter storm is expected to bring the Chicago area its heaviest snowfall in more than two years, with a Winter Storm Warning in effect from 3 a.m. Saturday through Sunday morning.

A winter storm dumped over 8 inches of snow on parts of Chicago. The snow system was expected to leave the area by noon Sunday.

Many roadways across central Illinois remain snow covered. Expect slippery travel conditions. The combination of wind and snow reduced visibility and added travel hazards for drivers Saturday. Gusting winds at 25-35 mph created blowing and drifting snow and near whiteout conditions at times, according to the National Weather Service.

Yesterday’s record snowfall was tapering off throughout Sunday morning as the Winter Weather Advisory was still in effect.

Significant snowfall is expected to move into the Chicago area starting Friday night. Here's what you can expect.

Snow will continue overnight before tapering off early Sunday. Another 2-4” is possible, along with wind gusts up to 20 miles per hour. Light snow showers are expected again around sunrise Sunday.
