After a day that brought a variety of weather across the Chicago area, including hail-producing thunderstorms and rain and sleet, the precipitation potpourri shifted to a heavy, wet snow across the area Sunday evening.
The temperature dropped below freezing and many areas quickly acquired a accumulative snow cover. Totals could vary dramatically because of melting and the potential for heavier bursts of thunder-snow, which appeared to be targeting the south suburbs and northwest Indiana. The snow should diminish to flurries Monday except for some heavier lake-effect snow that is expected. Wind-chills are expected to remain in the low 20s much of the day.
