From Wednesday afternoon through Wednesday night, a period of accumulating snow will spread across the Chicago metro, leading to travel impacts, slowdowns and sharply reduced visibility in the heaviest bands. Lake-effect snow can develop and bring concentrated bands to locations along the southern shores of Lake Michigan, resulting in a sharp gradient across the city from the western suburbs to far northeast Illinois and northwest Indiana. The highest totals are anticipated from downtown Chicago on southeastward into northwest Indiana. Snowfall totals can generally range from a coating to 1 inch around Chicago O’Hare International Airport to 1-2 inches downtown.
