Snow that fell overnight in the Chicago area will slowly start to taper off Sunday, but more chances for precipitation loom in the forecast.
According to the National Weather Service, some parts of the area received more than six inches of snow overnight, with seven inches of snow falling in Lindenhurst, six inches falling in northwest Indiana, and four inches of snow falling in the city of Chicago.
That snow is expected to slowly taper off during the morning hours Sunday, though lake-effect snow could still impact northwest Indiana into the late morning and early afternoon.
Temperatures are expected to gradually decrease throughout the day, remaining in the mid-to-upper 20s during the daylight hours before dropping into the teens overnight into Monday, according to forecast models.
Partly-to-mostly cloudy skies are expected Monday in the Chicago area, but another quick-moving clipper system could deliver a dusting of snow overnight Monday and into Tuesday, according to the NBC 5 Storm Team.
Tuesday will see temperatures rise above the freezing mark across the area, with readings climbing into the upper-30s for much of the region. Those temps will be accompanied by another system moving through the region, causing rain or mixed precipitation Tuesday evening.
More rain could fall Wednesday, though it is expected that the precipitation will eventually transition to snow as temperatures dip for the back half of the work week, according to forecast models.
By Thursday, the precipitation is expected to clear out of the region, and temperatures are expected to be on the chilly side Friday, with readings in the low-20s for several days.
