Chicagoland Braces for Deep Freeze as Bitter Cold Air Moves In
Chicagoland is heading into the deep freeze this week, with bitter and dangerously cold conditions moving into the area. Lake-effect snow remains in Chicagoland on Sunday morning, but not too much accumulation is expected, with maybe an inch or two in lakeside areas, at the most. The snow will then gradually move east into Northwest Indiana.
The cold air will then bring temperatures down to the single digits, with real temperatures staying around 10 degrees on Monday. Ahead of the coming frigid weather, the National Weather Service has issued a Cold Weather Advisory for some of Chicagoland’s northern and western locations, in effect from midnight until 11 a.m. on Monday.
Temperatures ranged in the mid-20s early Sunday morning, with blustery winds up to 30 to 35 miles per hour already around Chicagoland creating single-digit wind chills in some locations.
