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 occur off Lake Michigan and affect the Chicago area. Snow will produce slippery roads and delays at the airports due to deicing operations through Saturday midday. Heavier snow is forecast to fall in northwestern Indiana, where bands of lake-effect snow will be most persistent. The lake-effect band has the potential to move into downtown Chicago for a time and higher snow totals are possible.
