ORD - Weather - January 6

 A much colder air mass continues to filter into the region today. High temperatures will remain in the lower to middle 20s, combined with northwest winds between 10 and 15 mph. This will produce occasional wind chill values of 5 to 15 degrees. A weak system may touch off a period of light snow, mainly south of Interstate 80, this evening. Behind this weak system will be an even chillier air mass that will linger into at least the first half of the weekend as low pressure stalls near Michigan and results in continued reinforcement of cold northwest flow across our area. Some light lake effect snow showers may effect portions of northwest Indiana, but the brunt of the activity should remain focused on southwest lower Michigan.
