Chicago braces for flurries and light snow
Chicago is preparing for a weekend forecast of flurries and light snow, as reported by CBS News Chicago. The weather pattern is predicted to bring two rounds of snowfall, affecting both the city and its surrounding areas. The snowfall is expected to be light, with intermittent flurries throughout the weekend. This type of weather event is common for the region during this time of year, resulting from cold air interacting with moisture from the Great Lakes, leading to lake-effect snow. Residents are advised to brace themselves for potential minor disruptions, particularly in travel, due to the possibility of slick roads from snow accumulation.
