Snow to blanket Chicago into Monday
A potent storm will bear down on the Midwest into Monday, and the Chicago metro area stands to pick up accumulating snow and strong winds with plunging temperatures from the storm through Monday morning. At this time, enough snow to make roads slippery and to plow is expected. Heavier amounts are likely to the northwest. Major travel disruptions are likely Monday on the roads and at the airports.
