Snow Wrapping Up Monday Morning As Temperatures Expected To Warm Back Up This Week

Chicago experiences its first significant snowfall of the season, with two to four inches of lake-effect snow accumulating overnight. Meteorologist Todd Kluber indicated that Monday will be chilly, with temperatures in the 30s and occasional snow flurries. A slight chance of light snow may persist into Tuesday morning, but warmer weather is on the horizon, with temperatures expected to reach around 50 degrees on Wednesday and even warmer by Friday. Kluber explained that the lake-effect snow occurs due to colder air masses moving over the relatively warm lake, creating moisture that leads to snowfall. The snow is anticipated to melt away midweek as the city returns to milder autumn conditions.

In a related note, a fundraising campaign aims to raise $30,000 to support a nonprofit newsroom in Chicago, with matching donations available. Meanwhile, Chicago prepares for a historic New Year’s Eve celebration, with the addition of a central time zone countdown for the first time. This event marks a significant opportunity to showcase Chicago's vibrant culture and tourism.
