In some western suburbs, including Crystal Lake, McHenry, Woodstock, Ottawa and Elgin, the warning will go into effect even earlier, beginning at 9 a.m. Latest forecast models show snow and blowing snow may result in"white- out conditions" that lead to zero visibility at times, making travel"extremely difficult." As dangerously temperatures plummet from 30 degrees to 16 degrees and wind chills as low as 25 to 35 degrees below zero move in Thursday afternoon, roads are expected to become quickly iced-over.
And although the latest snow total predictions remain between three and six inches, with most of it occurring Thursday afternoon and into the evening, the combination of"gusty winds, and plummeting temperatures will make travel conditions treacherous from Thursday afternoon onward," the NWS says.
