The Chicago area will see several chances of precipitation in coming days, including the chance of freezing drizzle on Tuesday evening.

According to the National Weather Service, that frozen precipitation could occur across the area, but especially north of Interstate 80.

The drizzle could develop through 10 p.m., primarily impacting the northern and western suburbs of Chicago as the line slowly dips across the region.

Slick spots could pose an issue for motorists, mainly on elevated or untreated roads, according to officials.

Additional freezing drizzle could also impact the area overnight.

Temperatures are expected to dip below freezing overnight, falling into the mid-to-upper 20s across the area.

Wednesday could bring another chance of precipitation, with flurries or snow showers possible across the area, according to forecast models.

While accumulations aren’t expected, some parts of northwest Indiana could potentially see accumulating lake-effect snow Wednesday and even into Thursday morning.

High temperatures on both days will likely settle into the low-to-mid 30s, part of a continuing trend of seasonable temperatures across the region.

Friday should see partly-to-mostly cloudy skies, with highs once again in the mid-30s.
