Weather Service has issued a freeze warning from 2 a.m. to 9 a.m. Saturday for many of Chicago’s far western suburbs. The areas under the warning include McHenry, Kane, Kendall, LaSalle and DeKalb counties.
Friday afternoon, Chicago is expected to see temperatures fall into the 40s with potential wind chills in the 30s.
Sunday’s Chicago Marathon is also expected to be dry with temps in the 40s as the marathon gets underway.
We’re not even midway through October and a second potentially historic snowstorm is already taking shape across the north-central United States, with blizzard conditions possible.
