00:00Chicago is going to be in the big sports conversation again tomorrow here with the NFC playoffs.
00:06And we're going to be dealing with the backside of this storm system in Kansas moving through Chicago in the early part of the day.
00:13And then we're going to be dealing with some lingering flurries and snow showers.
00:15It's going to get a lot colder, though.
00:16Right now, snow is in progress along Interstate 70, Salina, Kansas, off to the west and down to the south into Garden City and Dodge City.
00:23To the north, we have an area of widespread light snow.
00:26This is going to be an accumulating snow event in Duluth with some wet snow there, two to four inches during the day tomorrow.
00:32Right now, temps chilling down a bit.
00:35It's not dramatically colder, though.
00:3628 still in Bismarck.
00:37And we're still around 48 degrees into St. Louis there.
00:40So overall, the snow is going to be pivoting through this region here.
00:44Widespread light snow begins as a little bit of rain late tonight into early tomorrow in Chicago before a changeover to snow.
00:50And as we watch future radar and clouds, we're going to zoom out, pick this storm system up.
00:54The final part of this, the western kind of annex to the big East Coast storm.
00:59Here we have snow in Chicago around 8 a.m. Central Time.
01:02And as this moves northeastward, we're going to see the heaviest snow up in northern parts of Michigan, 6 to 12 inches up near Traverse City,
01:10or at least the Straits near Mackinac Island.
01:14And in areas like Toledo, it's rain with a little bit of wet snow, perhaps mixed in at times.
01:19Mainly rain, though, with snow showers following as we get deeper into Sunday.
01:23There's the secondary front that brings a little bit more enhancement to the cold and also brings some snow showers through.
01:30So north of Chicago, an inch plus in the city, according to an inch, and up into Green Bay, Wisconsin.
01:35That's where we have the three-inch lines, a three to six north of Green Bay, one to three into some areas like Madison, Wisconsin,
01:41and Milwaukee, one to three inches, and six to 12 inches up in northern parts of Michigan.
01:45So here we get much colder.
01:47The bigger headline for that Chicago-Green Bay game will be the plunging temperatures because of strong winds,
01:52and that will drive the AccuWeather real field temperature down into the single digits.
01:56So the snow, the accumulating stuff far earlier in the day, lingering flurries and snow showers will be out there,
02:01and then we turn a little bit quieter but cold for Sunday.
02:04We're going to take a little bit faster.
