CHICAGO WINTER STORM FORECAST: See where heaviest snow, rain and ice will fall
ABC7 meteorologist Tracy Butler said Saturday will be a messy and dangerous travel day across the city and suburbs.
The storm will begin with all rain as it sweeps across the area throughout the day on Friday. Overnight into Saturday morning, rain will begin to change over to sleet and freezing rain across the northern and western suburbs.

By 9 a.m. Saturday morning, the northern suburbs will start to see snow as temperatures drop below freezing along the Wisconsin border. Freezing rain is expected to be widespread across the Chicago area on Saturday, leading to hazardous travel conditions.
Ice accumulations will be possible during the day on Saturday, and that will cut down on snow accumulations across the city, western and south suburbs. The south suburbs could expect to see as much as 2 to 4 inches of rain, especially along and south of I-55.
How much snow is expected to fall in Chicago depends on when the temperature drops below freezing, but much of the area can expect to see 1 to 4 inches of snow after the ice and rain.
However, at least 6 inches of snow is likely across much of McHenry County and northwestern Lake County. Accumulations of up to 9 inches could be possible in southern Wisconsin.
