accumulations 2 to 3 inches, within a few hour period. For the
Winter Storm Watch, heavy lake effect snow possible. Total snow
accumulations locally in excess of 6 inches possible, mainly near

Additional Details:
A burst of accumulating snow is expected mid

central and southern Cook county near the lake for a period Friday
evening before focusing eastward into northwestern Indiana later
Friday night. While the residence time of this lake effect band
over Cook county may only be 3 to 5 hours, the potential for heavy
snow rates of 2+ inches per hour could result in localized
accumulations exceeding 6 inches, particularly near the lake from
the city southward.
Instructions: Monitor the latest forecasts for updates on this situation.
