Officials are urging drivers to stay off the roads in Illinois as a winter system makes its way through, but when will be the worst times for travel?
While timing of the storm's intensity has fluctuated over the last few days, as of Wednesday afternoon, NBC 5 Storm Team Meteorologist Paul Deanno said the worst of the storm is expected to hit between 8 p.m. Thursday and 12 p.m. Friday, though some locations could see"rapidly deteriorating" travel conditions much earlier in the afternoon.
The National Weather Service predicts some suburbs northwest, west and southwest of Chicago could see the onset of the wintry system late Thursday morning, with road conditions and visibility quickly becoming dangerous. During that period, the snow will likely become moderate to heavy at times, paired with wind gusts of up to 55 mph and visibility near zero. Not to mention wind chills of up to -35 degrees.Sign up for NBC Chicago newsletters.
"Even when the snow stops, winds will still be strong," Deanno said."So snow will be blowing around all over the place, making it look like it’s still snowing." Let me show you why you should NOT be driving... or doing much of anything outside... from 8PM Thursday through 12PM Friday.
