The winter storm will bring wet snow. Several computer models show around a half foot falling in McHenry and Lake counties, and then lesser amounts south and east.

DeKalb, Kane, and northern Cook Counties will likely end up in the 2-6 inch range. Downtown Chicago will only squeeze out an inch or so of accumulation from this system.

Snow will begin melting Saturday afternoon as highs get into the upper 30s and low 40s. It will be even milder Sunday, promoting additional melting of any snow that stuck. Highs will be in the upper 40s.  

Looks like a little rain possibly mixing with light snow into Monday morning. Accumulations with this one are not expected.
