Both Rockford and Chicago are likely to set multiple cold temperature records this week, including potentially the all time low for Rockford and the coldest daytime highs for both locations. Brutally cold wind chills also are expected Tuesday evening through Thursday morning. pic.twitter.com/bIZZ4kli7F

A wind chill warning is in effect from Tuesday evening through Thursday morning for all of northern Illinois and northwest Indiana. Potentially life threatening cold with wind chills of 30 to 55 below zero are expected. #ilwx #inwx pic.twitter.com/Czbf11qybV

Moderate to heavy snow & some blowing snow is occurring prior to daybreak. Even after snow intensity eases mid-morning, snow covered roads will continue since the snow fell quickly overnight & at cold temps. Be extra safe this a.m. - allow extra commute time! #ILwx #INwx pic.twitter.com/jjkmP4Fz7j
— NWS Chicago (@NWSChicago) January 28, 2019
Due to the prolonged cold weather, conditions remain favorable for river ice formation. Additional development & thickening of river ice will cause ice jams & localized sharp rises on area rivers w/ little or no notice this week.

Visibility in Rockford has regularly been 1/4 mile in heavy snow, with at least 3" already having fallen (depth now of 15"!). Also reported via broadcast media is blowing and drifting in and around that area. Use extreme caution if traveling early this morning! #ILwx pic.twitter.com/cw9NYJ7s7F
— NWS Chicago (@NWSChicago) January 28, 2019
Burst of snow will cause very hazardous travel conditions thru commute. Visibility <1/4 mi at times in open areas due to snow/ blowing snow. Snow on top of some ice that fell in & near #Chicago. Leading edge of precip in NW IN may be freezing drizzle changing to snow. #ilwx #inwx pic.twitter.com/ckkLJepIJv
— NWS Chicago (@NWSChicago) January 28, 2019
Heavier snow will end from west to east this morning though impacts will linger, and occasional snow will be seen the rest of the day. Patchy freezing drizzle is also possible this morning and early afternoon where it is not snowing. #ILwx #INwx pic.twitter.com/rSpnaN95r4

Dangerous wind chills expected Tuesday, with a Wind Chill Advisory in effect Tuesday morning through late Tuesday afternoon. #ilwx #inwx pic.twitter.com/ZBmbLjXmeh
— NWS Chicago (@NWSChicago) January 28, 2019
Widespread heavy snow will end from west to ease this morning, but more occasional snow will be seen after that time. Significant impacts to the entire morning commute are expected for much of the area due to snow covered roads. https://t.co/hvAEYCJelM#ILwx #INwx pic.twitter.com/qz2SnUlJal

Extreme wind chills will grip the Midwest Tuesday-Thursday as temperatures plummet to the coldest some cities have seen in more than two decades: https://t.co/6KgKYrDFYg pic.twitter.com/pv48gkOHTe

Though it will be brutally cold this week in the Midwest and daily record lows are likely to be set, only a few cities will threaten all-time record lows: https://t.co/dFQGwHIoS8 pic.twitter.com/Y78BcC08Eh
