The WBBM AccuWeather forecast calls for snow tapering to flurries today with a total accumulation 2-3 inches. Watch for roads to be slippery through the morning commute. Today's high: 34.
Tomorrow, look for a bit of snow, sleet, freezing rain and rain, especially in the afternoon, changing to rain at night.
