Special Weather Statement issued January 21 at 2:39PM CST by NWS Chicago IL

Expires: Wed January 21, 2026, 8:00 PM

A strong Arctic front will move across the area this evening, accompanied by scattered to numerous snow showers. The most intense snow showers and localized snow squalls may briefly reduce visibility under one half mile at times and produce a quick half inch to locally one inch of snow accumulation. Westerly winds will gust as high as 40 mph, which may produce blowing snow and shallow drifting snow, especially on north to south roads in open, exposed areas. Motorists should be prepared to potentially encounter localized hazardous travel conditions this evening. Before driving, pay close attention to weather conditions and check updated road conditions. Take it slow and keep a safe following distance when on snow covered roads and during periods of poor visibility.
