A freezing rain advisory had barely expired when the National Weather issued a winter storm advisory with up to 4 inches of snow expected to fall this afternoon and night.
Rain is expected to change over to snow by the middle of the afternoon "in time for the evening rush," the weather service said in the advisory.
"The threat for a period of heavy snow could result in reduced visibilities under a mile at times and rapid accumulation on area roads during the evening commute," the weather service warned.
The most snow is expected to fall north of I-88 and the North Side of Chicago, it said.
The morning commute was slickened by sleet and freezing rain across northeast Illinois, mainly along I-88 and north of the expressway, according to the weather service.
