Winter Weather Advisory in Effect Friday the 13th
The National Weather Service in Chicago is monitoring a weather system that could produce several inches of lake-effect, wet snow in isolated parts of the state near the Illinois-Indiana border.

Localized snow totals in excess of 3 inches are expected, with some higher amounts possible, but snow will struggle to stick within a few miles of the Lake Michigan shoreline, according to the NWS.
