Chicago Hit by Dangerous Freezing Rain: Winter Weather Advisory Issued

Share news:

Icy conditions could stick around on untreated roads in the Chicago area Thursday morning after an ice storm that started Wednesday evening. The National Weather Service has warned of hazardous travel conditions, and a winter weather advisory is in place until 6 a.m. Thursday due to icy roads.

The storm brought a mix of freezing rain, snow, and sleet, making travel dangerous. Overnight, the weather is expected to ease up, but it will still be risky for commuters. Drivers are urged to take extra precautions and allow for more time when traveling in the morning.

The heaviest rain and snow is expected to fall on Wednesday night and start to ease off by Thursday morning. The Chicago Department of Streets and Sanitation has been out salting the roads to prevent accidents, but officials still warn that roads could be slippery, especially in areas that weren’t treated.

Although temperatures on Thursday are expected to be above freezing, conditions will still be dangerous. Winds will be strong, but it will remain mostly dry, with temperatures ranging from the upper 30s to low 40s throughout the day. On Thursday night, temperatures will dip into the teens, and Friday will bring cooler weather with highs in the low to mid-30s.

Looking ahead, there’s a chance of another round of wintry weather starting Friday night and continuing through Saturday. This could bring another mix of freezing rain and icy conditions, so drivers should continue to stay alert.

To sum it up, the icy roads caused by Wednesday’s storm will make for a tricky morning commute Thursday, with freezing rain and snow continuing to cause problems in some areas. Even though temperatures will rise, ice may linger on untreated roads, making driving dangerous. Anyone planning to drive should stay cautious and be prepared for more icy weather to come later in the week.
