Snow and dangerous cold are heading for the Chicago area this weekend.

A winter storm threatening to unleash nearly a foot of snow on the Chicago area began to hit the region late Saturday morning.

Illinois will see sub-zero wind chills and a potential winter storm system through next week. Here's how cold it will get.

Snow and wind are expected to make for a messy morning commute in the Chicago area Wednesday.

Heavier bands of snow in the morning were possible in northwest Indiana, along with gusty winds and low visibility.

A band of light to moderate snowfall should start to hit the Chicago area early to midafternoon Monday, according to the National Weather Service.

Overnight Chicago-area snowfall created hazardous road conditions and caused delays at Chicago O'Hare International Airport on Sunday.

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

Travelers returning from the holiday weekend are urged to use caution when driving in hazardous conditions. Snow is expected to begin Friday night and intensify Saturday morning, forecasters say. Temps could drop into the single digits Sunday and Monday nights.
