Chicagoland weather forecast for Sunday night, January 30

FOX 32 Chief Meteorologist Emily Wahls says there's the possibility of two big rounds of snow coming through the Chicago area this week.

CHICAGO - Haven't gotten enough snow yet, Chicagoans? Maybe the weather this week will make you dream of summer.

The National Weather Service said on Sunday that we're looking at the possibility of two rounds of snow hitting the Chicago area, one on Tuesday into Wednesday, then another round late Wednesday into Thursday.

The NWS says it's hard to forecast these things this far out, and that it's possible some areas will get a lot of snow, while others will barely get dusted.

The NWS said that "Round 2" will bring the possibility of more accumulating snow Wednesday night into Thursday. The areas most likely to get hit are south of Chicago to Ottawa.
