A winter storm could disrupt Thanksgiving travel in Chicago in the lead-up to the holiday on Thursday.
Snowy conditions could develop across the Lower Great Lakes region beginning Wednesday into Thursday, according to the National Weather Service.
It all depends on the path of two storm systems currently making their way across the US.
According to the NWS, if systems “A” and “B” converge, Chicago could get hit with wintry weather. If the two systems remain separated however, the chance for snowfall will be low.
Right now the NWS cites a 30%-40% chance of snow on Wednesday and Thursday, but notes that a “great deal of uncertainty remains.”
The days before and after Thanksgiving are some of the busiest travel days of the year, according to the Transportation Security Administration.
The trajectory of the storm systems will become clearer by Wednesday. Travelers should stay informed and plan for possible disruptions.
While the chance of snow remains up in the air, one thing is for sure: it’s about to get a lot colder in Chicago.
The NWS predicts that day time temperatures will plunge below freezing over the coming weekend. Saturday night could see a low of just 19 degrees!
