JOLIET, Ill. - Joliet School District 86 announced Tuesday that classes on Wednesday would be canceled and all schools closed due to the extreme cold.
The school district also said that after-school activities will not take place.
"The school day will be made up on June 1, 2022," the school district said in a message on their website.
Tuesday night into Wednesday morning, the entire Chicago area will be under an advisory for wind chills between -15° and -30°.
Several warming centers are open this week across the suburbs.
A weak snow system comes through on Thursday with fractions of an inch for most of Chicagoland. However, possible lake-effect snow must be monitored during the Thursday time frame.
The cold eases back a bit heading into next week.
