Chicago Braces for More Slick Roads as Freezing Rain and Snow Loom. Commuters are advised to exercise extreme caution on Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning, as a mass of cold air is set to sweep through the region, bringing with it freezing rain and snow.
A slight chance of flurries on Monday evening will be followed by temperatures rising above freezing on Tuesday, with highs in the high 30s forecast. However, that warmth won't last long, as a significant chance of freezing rain is expected early on Tuesday evening, making driving conditions hazardous due to cold air and icy pavement.
On Wednesday morning, drivers can expect strong winds and snow showers, adding to the treacherous conditions already anticipated for Tuesday evening. Temperatures will plummet by Thursday and Friday, with daytime highs in the 20s forecast, and a chance of snow on both days. The coldest temperatures are expected overnight, with wind chills dipping as low as minus-10 to minus-20 degrees on Friday night.
The National Weather Service has issued a clear warning: commuters should be prepared for slick roads and reduced visibility, particularly during the evening commute on Tuesday and the morning rush on Wednesday. Motorists will need to exercise extreme caution and adjust their driving habits accordingly to avoid accidents and ensure their safety on the road.

! Did you know that freezing rain and snow can cause up to 20% more car accidents than regular snowstorms? 
And it's not just the roads, either - a study found that cold air can reduce visibility by up to 50%! 
! And with wind chills, it feels even colder. I'm talking about people needing oxygen masks just to step outside... 
. But still, let's be real - slick roads are no joke! Make sure you're driving slow and safe on Tuesday and Wednesday, 'kay? 
This is gonna be a wild ride in Chicago... freezing rain and snow are not exactly what you want when you're tryin' to get to work on time, right? 
commuters gotta be extra careful, especially on Tues & Wed mornin' don't wanna see anyone gettin stranded or in an accident 
temperature's plummetin by Thurs & Fri too, highs in the 20s? that's brutal 
need to stock up on hot cocoa and snacks for the next few days...
. Strong winds on Wed morning too? No thanks, just stay indoors and binge watch Netflix while the storm rages outside 
my poor car 
on monday because of this freezing rain... like can't even get to class, and then it's supposed to get all icy and snowy on wednesday 
i don't wanna be stuck in traffic with icy roads, that's just no fun at all 
It's not like the roads are gonna magically become clear by themselves... and what about all those poor commuters who will be stuck on the side of the road because their car won't start? 
lets just hope everyone stays safe out there 
Ugh, can't believe I gotta deal with this freezing rain thingy again 
, so here's hoping Chicago can get through this without too many crashes. Maybe we should just invest in some awesome snow tires or something? 
. Can't they just calm down a bit? Anyway, back to the weather... whoa, Chicago is going to be a mess! Freezing rain and snow are not exactly what you want on your morning commute
