In response to a new developing storm along the Atlantic coast and a fresh surge of Arctic air, lake-effect flurries, snow showers and heavy bands of snow will develop off Lake Michigan and affect the Chicago area. The pattern is somewhat similar to last weekend, except there will be no general snow in the vicinity with the Eastern storm being more compact. A general 1-3 inches of snow is forecast with slippery roads and delays at the airports due to deicing operations from Friday morning through Saturday afternoon. Heavier snow is forecast to fall in northwestern Indiana, where bands of lake-effect snow will be most persistent.
