CHICAGO — Weather Update
Light flurries may persist in the evening into overnight hours, but skies will clear and give us a bit of sunshine Thursday before a snowmaker moves in.
The snow that develops after the midday hours Thursday looks like it’ll mainly impact areas south of Interstate 80. It won’t stick around long and won’t accumulate to much.
After that, though, comes the big temperature drop that looks to linger into the middle part of January.
