The winter storm is not over.
The National Weather Service said more snow was expected Friday afternoon accompanied with below zero windchills into the night hours.
Thursday, the Chicago area was expected to get a break from the snow which is expected to return Friday.
Officials said there is a 30 percent chance of additional snowfall late Friday afternoon and a 100 percent chance of snow Friday night in portions of north central and northeast Illinois and northwest Indiana. Windchills of 5 to 15 below zero are expected Friday night, officials warned.
The snow risk is lower over the weekend as snow is expected to continue in the area Saturday and frigid windchills are expected to stick around Sunday and Monday, officials said.
The winter storm began Wednesday with 3 to 6 inches of snow expected when the Chicago area was issued a winter weather advisory.
Officials said accumulating snow was possible late Friday afternoon into the evening hours, especially along and north of I-80. Light freezing rain or drizzle is possible late Friday night into Saturday morning along and south of I-80.
Frigid temperatures are expected in the coming week with a possibility of Monday morning being the coldest when windchills between 15 to 25 below zero are expected, officials said.
On Thursday, conditions are expected to be mostly cloudy then changing to sunny with a high near 20 degrees. It is expected to be blustery with gusts up to 25 mph, officials said. Windchills could be as low as negative 8 on Thursday night.
Current conditions at O’Hare International Airport are partly cloudy at 15 degrees with a windchill of negative 9. Farther south at Midway Airport, conditions are the same at 18 degrees with a windchill of negative 8.
