An incoming winter storm could bring blizzard conditions to Chicago this week with wind gusts over 50 mph and roughly a foot of snow.
. Damaging gusts to more than 50mph will make travel inadvisable through most of Friday and Friday night even as the snowfall winds down. Power outages and closures will be likely. O'Hare International Airport was certainly busy Monday as AAA says 7.2 million Americans are expected to travel by air this holiday season.
Snowfall amounts are likely to be in the 8-12 inch range for much of the area. Amounts are rather immaterial because this will be about the adverse combination of snow and wind reducing visibility and leading to blowing and drifting snow with the resultant impacts to travel and commerce. It will also be dangerously cold during and after the storm with wind chills likely warranting an advisory. Highs may not get out of single digits Friday through Sunday. for our area will likely be replaced with a blizzard warning for the height of the storm.that I have read and agree
