Snow, Freezing Rain, Sleet Set for Chicagoland

The National Weather Service issued a storm warning for Tuesday morning. Commuters can expect a snow-sleet combination during morning rush hour, the NWS said.

"Winter is coming." That's the saying in Winterfall, a fictionally kingdom in HBO's show, "Game of Thrones." While it's been a quiet winter in the Chicagoland area thus far, the National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a winter storm watch starting Tuesday morning and running through early Wednesday. The worst part of the snow storm is expected to develop during morning rush hour; producing a snow-sleet combination. At least 3 to 6 inches is expected, according to the NWS. Temperatures will have a high of 35-degrees during the day and a low of 32-degrees, according to Weather.com. Meanwhile, winds will be blowing from the northeast at around 20 to 30-mph. -- Skokie Patch on Facebook
