The latest rounds of winter weather come after the Chicago area was hit by its most significant measurable snowfall of the season earlier this week.

Snow showers lasted between 6 p.m. and 10 p.m. Friday, ABC7 Chicago Meteorologist Larry Mowry said. Several hours of snow were expected Friday evening and night, with 1-3 inches expected.

The snow affected the evening commute.

Some more flurries are expected overnight Friday into Saturday, Mowry said.

Saturday will be a messy day, with temperatures right around freezing throughout much of the afternoon, and there will be a mix of rain and snow, and potentially some freezing rain, too.

More snow showers are likely Saturday night into Sunday morning, with a couple inches of additional accumulation.

One to two inches are expected Saturday. In total, by Sunday morning, there could be 2 to 6 inches of snow.
