CHICAGO – A winter storm warning continues across north central Illinois through 6 AM Saturday, as a blast of snow and high winds will create dangerous wind chills and poor visibility. Snow totals are expected to vary anywhere from 2″ to 5″, but wind chills could be as low as -50 below zero overnight into Friday. Portions of I-80 in Iowa are already jammed with traffic slowed to a crawl due to the weather. National Weather Service Meteorologist Matt Friedlein said “From late Thursday all the way through the day Friday, travel will become very difficult in north central Illinois, in rural locations especially, where there is nothing to stop the blowing snow.”
Weekdays from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m.
