With snow on the ground, slick spots on the road and colder temperatures, January in Chicago is starting to feel a bit more like it usually does.
According to the NBC 5 Storm Team, periods of light to moderate snow are likely to continue coating streets and yards Thursday morning and into the afternoon, before tapering off later in the day.
Forecast models show snow will result in some accumulation, with some areas seeing only a dusting while others could receive up to an inch. Temperatures highs are expected to remain in the low-to-mid 30s as the day goes on.
Although the snow will remain light, with the flakes tapering to flurries Thursday evening, rain earlier in the week could create slippery and slick sections on roads, snarling traffic on the commute home.
