January 20, 2014 (CHICAGO) -- The Chicago area will be hit with more snowfall Monday night when wind chills as low as minus 25 move into the Midwest. The Indiana Dept. of Transportation warned drivers to expect 1-2 feet of snow over 24 hours, and added snow could fall heavily overnight at up to 2-3 inches an hour.
As if the snow isn't bad enough, temperatures will start to fall Monday as a cold front moves into the Chicago area, meteorologists said. Overnight lows will only reach zero or minus 4 degrees, which will feel like minus 5 to minus 15 with the wind chill. Temperatures Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday will mimic Monday's, with temperatures near zero and wind chills as cold as minus 20 to 25 degrees, meteorologists said. This particular blast of cold air is not the polar vortex itself, but rather a byproduct of the system that regularly moves through Canada and into the United States, meteorologists said.
