CHICAGO (WLS) — The first snow of the season could create slippery conditions for Friday’s morning commute.

Jaisol Martinez, ABC7 Accuweather meteorologist, said one to three inches of wet, slushy lake-effect snow could accumulate in isolated locations Friday morning, especially in northwest Indiana and the southern suburbs.

A winter weather advisory is in effect for southern Cook, eastern Will, Illinois, and Lake County, Indiana until noon Friday.

A band of lake-effect rain formed along the lake’s edge, with a few snowflakes mixed in. Martinez said with lake effect snow, it could accumulate very quickly if the rain turns to snow. Martinez said snow accumulation will occur primarily in grassy areas.

The band of wet weather will continue through the afternoon and move primarily into northwest Indiana in the evening.

“Crews will be on site overnight to monitor arterial roads, DuSable Lake Shore Drive, bridges and overpasses to ensure roadways are safe and passable for emergency vehicles, public transportation and other travelers,” the Chicago Department of Streets and Sanitation said in a statement.
