The storm track that had threatened a more significant snow event shifted south, producing the greatest snowfall impact in the far south suburbs and northwest Indiana. Light snow will end early today with NW Indiana the last to see an end to snowfall. Strong NNE winds will turn NNW, helping keep high temperatures in the low 30s, well below the normal high of 39. Breezy northerly winds will be in place through Saturday, keeping wintry temperatures and wind chills in place until a warmup begins Sunday when winds shift to the south. Temps should reach the 40s early next week.

A gale warning is in effect for Lake Michigan until 9 p.m. tonight, producing waves up to 16 feet in height. A winter weather advisory and a lakeshore flood warning are also in effect.
