A blast of wintry weather is continuing to impact the Chicago area on Thursday, with snow falling in some communities and liquid precipitation falling in areas further to the south of the city.
Slowly-falling temperatures could potentially cause some ice to form on roadways during the evening commute, and mixed precipitation could also cause travel headaches for motorists as the afternoon and evening roll along.Sign up for NBC Chicago newsletters.
Kane County could also see some snow during that time, though most of the precipitation south of Interstate 88 will likely still be mixed during that time. The furthest south suburban areas, including Kankakee, Newton and Jasper counties, will likely continue to see rain until dark because temperatures will remain above freezing.The evening commute could get messy across the area as the rain-to-snow transition continues. Most of the area will start to see snow by around 7 p.m., but the far-southern suburbs could see some icy precipitation, making for dangerous traveling conditions there as well.
In areas north of Interstate 88, snow should begin to taper off as the evening moves along, with most precipitation stopping by 11 p.m.
