A cold front is expected to bring the first snowfall of the 2025-26 winter season to the Chicago area, with wind chills dropping into the teens early next week.

Snowfall Expectations

“It looks like any accumulation of snow we see Sunday morning [will] probably [be] just on grassy surfaces and maybe bridges and overpasses,” said Casey Sullivan, meteorologist with the National Weather Service.
“Probably 60, 70 percent chance of snow there Sunday morning but it doesn’t really look like it’s going to be too impactful.”
Sunday Weather Outlook
- Highs around mid-30s.
- Winds blowing 15 to 25 mph, with gusts up to 30 mph.
“It’s going to be a cold, windy, blustery day on Sunday,” Sullivan added.
Wind Chill Forecast
By Monday morning, wind chills will likely be between 10 to 15 degrees above zero in the Chicago area, according to meteorologists.
Summary: A cold front this weekend will drop temperatures and bring a light mix of rain and snow with blustery winds, marking the first snow of the season for Chicago.
