FOX 32's Mike Caplan breaks down today's weather outlook.

CHICAGO - Light snow is falling over much of our viewing area as of 3:45 a.m., with a dusting in some locations. Main roads will be just wet but there could be some slick spots in outlying areas.  

Highs today will be in the mid 30s with lake-effect snow developing in northwest Indiana where an inch could accumulate mainly on grassy on non-paved surfaces. This will be the 17th day in a row with above-normal temps.  Tomorrow will be Day 18 with highs in the lower 40s under mostly sunny skies. 

Sunday will be several degrees warmer with less sunshine.  

For the Martin Luther King Jr. Day, expect showers and highs flirting with 50 degrees.
