Are you sure you were checking the NWS forecast?

NWS Chicago
@NWSChicago

Snow will spread into the area this evening and persist through Sun. While the highest accums are expected near/east of I-55 and the lake, the cold pavement temps will allow snow to stick and result in hazardous travel. Use caution if traveling tonight and/or on Sun! #ILwx #INwx
