Multiple Chicago-area counties will be under a winter weather advisory Saturday as another snowy system could bring up to 4 inches of snow for some locations.
The advisory, issued for Grundy, LaSalle and Kankakee counties, takes effect at noon Saturday and continues through midnight Sunday.
In the latest system to pummel the area in a matter of weeks, anywhere from 2 to 4 inches of snow is expected to fall Saturday evening, with some locations possibly seeing higher totals, according to the alert.
This comes less than one week after a snowstorm dumped more than a foot on many locations, followed by another system that left as much as 3 inches in some spots.
It will also be paired with some of the coldest temperatures of the season so far.
Highs Saturday are set to only reach between 10 and 18 degrees with wind chill readings well below zero. Overnight lows are expected to drop near zero to 8 below, with wind chill readings between -12 and -22 degrees.
