Winter Weather Alert: Possible Blast of Cold and Holiday Travel Disruptions This Week
Winter is Coming: A Blast of Cold Ahead
Mark Strehl has your weather update! Get ready for a cold winter blast to hit Chicago next weekend. High temperatures will struggle to rise above the 20s, while lows will dip into the teens. This shift marks the arrival of a frigid pattern that could persist for some time.
Holiday Travel Disruptions Possible
But that’s not all – two storm systems over the Pacific Northwest could merge, bringing significant snow and rain to the Chicago area from Tuesday night through Thanksgiving. If the systems combine, travel disruptions are likely. However, if the storms remain separate, their impact will be much less severe. We estimate the chance of a merger at about one in three.
What to Expect:
- A blast of winter cold, with high temperatures struggling to rise above the 20s and lows dipping into the teens
- Potential for significant snow and rain in the Chicago area from Tuesday night through Thanksgiving, with travel disruptions possible if the systems combine
