CHICAGO — It ain't over Chicago.

After a brief reprieve, Chicagoans can expect more snow and colder temperatures to roll into the city Tuesday.

About an inch or so of snow is expected to fall beginning later Tuesday morning, according to the National Weather Service.

The snow, which could begin as rain or sleet, is expected to continue into the afternoon, and wind gusts could reach up to 35 mph across the city. The National Weather Service has issued a hazardous weather outlook, saying snow "could briefly fall heavy at times," causing problems for commuters.

Temperatures should reach highs of the upper 30s about noon before they begin falling to a low of about 15 degrees tonight, according to the National Weather Service.

More snow or flurries are possible tonight, with wind gusts reaching up to 40 mph. Snowdrifts and slick roads may prove dangerous for drivers, weather officials said.

The wintry weather is expected to continue for the rest of the week, with a chance of more through Friday. Temperatures will reach the mid-30s on Thursday before dipping down into the 20s through Saturday.
