Dangerous winter conditions are expected in the Chicago area this week, but the timing for when they could start has already shifted.
According to forecasters, the timing of the intensity was originally later, but new models show"slightly faster arrival of deteriorating conditions Thursday afternoon."
The alert warns that"falling and blowing snow may result in white out conditions with zero visibility at times, making travel extremely difficult, if not impossible." "Power outages will also be possible as a result of strong damaging wind gusts to 55 mph," it states.The intense winter storm is expected to be widespread by the evening hours. This marks the time when it could could generate blizzard conditions and is expected to"severely" impact travel.Expect heavy snow, strong and damaging winds, difficult or near-impossible travel conditions and dangerously cold temperatures and wind chills.
Forecasts are unclear as to how much snow may actually fall as snow but the snow is expected to begin subsiding overnight. Early predictions so far indicate the Chicago area could see between 5 and 9 inches of snow, with higher totals possible, especially in northwest Indiana. Some locations could also see lower totals.
