A system that's predicted to dump another two to four inches of snow is headed toward Chicago, and that'll immediately be followed by air that'll bring some of the coldest temperatures we've seen so far this year.
The mercury on Tuesday will struggle to exceed past the teens. Factor in the wind chill and we're talking about temperatures in the single digits and below. Even a moderate break of sunshine later in the day won't raise temperatures all that much.
The next round of snowfall is expected early Wednesday morning, just in time for the morning commute.
That'll likely be out of the area by midday Wednesday, but a blast of cold air will set us up for the coldest night of the year. The air temperature is expected to bottom out Thursday morning from 0 to -10 degrees, and at that temperature, even a slight breeze can easily push the mercury to 20 or 30 degrees below zero.
Make sure your car is prepped for winter weather, your furnace is in good working order and your pets are all indoors. It's going to be brutal.
