A weekend in Chicago brings snow, rain, and a sudden drop in temperature

If you were planning a walk, trip, or time outdoors in Chicago this weekend (January 10 and 11), the weather forecast probably won't make you happy.

Saturday, January 10th brings a combination of rain and snow, with a sharp drop in temperature, while winter conditions will persist throughout the week.

After a few days of milder weather, weather conditions are deteriorating rapidly. During Friday, rain hit the city with occasional strong gusts of wind, but a true winter atmosphere begins on Saturday. According to the forecast by the National Weather Service, the morning started with a mix of rain and snow, while during the afternoon the precipitation will turn exclusively into snow.

The high temperature on January 10 in Chicago will not exceed 4 degrees Celsius, while the wind chill will be significantly lower due to strengthening winds. The probability of precipitation is around 70 percent, and drivers are advised to exercise extra caution due to slippery roads and reduced visibility.

During the night between Saturday and Sunday, light snow is expected to continue, with temperatures hovering around 0 degrees Celsius. On Sunday, January 11, skies are expected to gradually clear, but the cold weather will remain, with the maximum temperature reaching only a few degrees above zero.

Meteorologists warn citizens to dress appropriately, wear waterproof footwear, and follow official warnings, especially if they plan to travel out of town. This weekend in Chicago will be a real reminder that winter has not yet had its final say.
