Chicagoland weather forecast for Sunday night, December 25

FOX 32 Chicago Meteorologist Mark Strehl says the weather will be warming up significantly -- a welcome change after last week's bitter cold.

Snow will develop on Sunday night and continue into Monday morning in the Chicago area.

The National Weather Service said that even though snowfall amounts will be minor, the cold pavement could result in unusually hazardous travel. The NWS said drivers should plan on taking extra time for their commutes on Monday morning. Temperatures overnight will be in the 8° to 15° range.

The total snowfall amounts will range from 1 to 2 inches southwest of a line from Rockford to Kankakee, and less than 1 inch elsewhere including Chicago.

Temperatures will be getting warmer as the week goes on:

  • Monday: High 21°, Low 8°
  • Tuesday: High 27°, Low 24°
  • Wednesday: High 39°, Low 37
  • Thursday: High 51, Low 39
  • Friday: High 44, Low 37
