Winter Weather Advisory for suburbs until 9 p.m.

Snow has started to fall in the suburbs, and drivers could face a messy commute this evening.

The National Weather service has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for the suburbs through 9 p.m. today.

The forecast calls for 1-2 inches of snow for most of the area, with the potential for as much as 3 inches close to the Wisconsin border.

“We've got another three days of chilly blustery weather ahead of us,” said Mark Ratzer, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service.

Highs this afternoon are expected to top out around 13 degrees, but 20-30 mph winds will make it feel like it's -10 to -15.

Temperatures are expected to dip back down Thursday night to 0 with wind chills of -20.

On Friday, expect single-digit temperatures during the day and winds again overnight with wind chills of -20 to -25, Ratzer said.

Saturday temperatures could be in the lower teens, and on Sunday maybe near 30 degrees, he said.

The current deep freeze is part of a one-two punch from a storm that started Monday night and ran into early Tuesday morning. Most suburbs saw 2-3 inches of snow from the storm.

Metra issued a warning on its website that many trains could face speed restrictions due to the freezing temperatures.

“Please be advised that as always, we will make every reasonable effort to assure your timely and comfortable commute,” Metra announced in a statement. “Unfortunately, weather conditions beyond our control will likely create unanticipated delays or service disruptions.”
