Chicago weather: Slushy, stormy conditions take hold Friday

Winter storm leaves wet, slushy streets

Snow fell across Chicagoland Friday leaving streets slushy and icy.

CHICAGO - The worst of the snow with today’s storm will be late in the day/early evening and focused primarily east of I-57. 

Rain moves in from the south this morning likely reaching the metro between 7-9 a.m. The changeover to snow/mix happens this afternoon when the atmosphere becomes colder through the mystical process known as evaporative cooling.

Heaviest snowfall of 3-6 inches will be most likely in northwest Indiana. Snowfall will be generally nonexistent northwest of the city, with around a slushy inch or so in the city. This will be a wet snow.

Melting ensues quickly this weekend with highs both days in the 40s. Sunday night there could be a thunderstorm tied to a warm front that may push highs close to 60 degrees on Monday with a few showers.
