CHICAGO — A cold front moving into Chicago will bring 50 mile per hour wind gusts Saturday night and the lowest temperatures of the season next week.

A wind advisory is in effect from 7 p.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday, according to the National Weather Serivce.

The advisory warns drivers to be careful around large trucks and trailers, especially on North-South roads, as those vehicles are more affected by the winds.

Residents should also secure loose items that could damage property.

The cold front also brings the anticipated coldest temperatures of winter.

Temperatures early Monday morning will be in the single digits. Daytime temps will be higher, but wind chill readings will be 10 to 15 degrees below zero.

Tuesday is expected to be even colder, with lows below zero and wind chill readings of 20 to 25 degrees below zero.
