CHICAGO — Flurries dotting the city Monday afternoon won't amount to much, meteorologists said, but drivers should watch out — roads might be slick.
"It may be snowing, but there's not an awful lot as far as accumulation goes," said Charles Mott, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service. "As of noon, we've only recorded a trace."
Mott said Chicagoans can expect to see flurries until about 4 p.m. Monday, but only about seven-tenths of an inch will accumulate.
Flurries and lake effect snow may hit the city Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday, but again, "not a whole lot of snow is expected," Mott said.
Low temperatures and wet roads could create slick driving conditions, Mott said, so drivers should be careful — especially along Lake Michigan, where roads might be wetter due to lake-effect snow.
And if you're planning a Thanksgiving drive through Indiana, you should watch out on Wednesday, Mott said.
A front starting in the northwest pocket of the state will hit South Bend and move southeast toward Indianapolis. Roads will be wet, and visibility might be an issue as lake-effect snow covers the state.
