Accumulating lake effect snow possible in South Chicago suburbs Thursday and Friday

Chicago’s first snow of the 2026-27 season could come Thursday night into Friday, according to predictions from the National Weather Service (NWS). Here’s the kicker—what was previously projected to amount to a few flurries could turn into up to an inch of accumulation in some areas. Here’s a breakdown of the forecast and what to expect. “Slushy accumulations” of lake effect snow possible late Thursday into Friday The NWS issued a Special Weather Statement Thursday morning for Southern and Eastern portions of Cook County, as well as portions of Northwest Indiana and areas along the Illinois I-57 corridor. The weather statement predicts accumulating lake effect snow beginning Thursday night and continuing into Friday morning. The NWS notes that a “band” of rain will turn into snow overnight, causing “localized slushy accumulations” along its path. The rainy and snowy mix could impact the Friday morning commute. “Those driving late tonight through Friday morning should allow for extra travel time and plan for potentially slick roads and sudden sharp visibility reductions,” said the NWS. Areas south and east of Chicago could see highest accumulations According to NWS predictions, areas south and east of Chicago could see the highest accumulations of snow Thursday
