Blustery Cold Front May Bring First Snow to Chicago Area This Weekend
A cold front is expected to bring the first snowfall of the 2025-26 winter season to the Chicago area, with wind chills dropping into the teens early next week.
Temperature Changes and Weather Forecast
- Friday and parts of Saturday will see temperatures in the 50s and 60s.
- The cold front is forecast to arrive Saturday evening, dropping temperatures into the 30s across most of Chicago.
- Rain will move into the area Saturday and may change to a mix of rain and snow.
Snowfall Expectations
The National Weather Service predicts no significant snowfall, estimating about half an inch:
“It looks like any accumulation of snow we see Sunday morning [will] probably [be] just on grassy surfaces and maybe bridges and overpasses,” said Casey Sullivan, a meteorologist with the weather service.
“Probably 60, 70 percent chance of snow there Sunday morning but it doesn’t really look like it’s going to be too impactful.”
Sunday’s Weather Conditions
- Highs will reach the mid-30s.
- Winds will blow between 15 to 25 miles per hour, with gusts up to 30 miles per hour.
“It’s going to be a cold, windy, blustery day on Sunday,” Sullivan said.
Additional Note
By Monday morning, wind chills are expected to be between 10 to 15 degrees above zero.
Summary: A cold front will usher in the first snow of the season for Chicago this weekend, bringing chilly, windy conditions and light snow mainly on grassy areas.
