The Chicago area typically sees its first snow in mid-November. What does this year's forecast hold?
Warmer-than-average temperatures were expected to continue Friday in the Chicago area, with no signs of snow or cold for the next few weeks, the NBC 5 Storm Team said. The average first snow for the Chicago area comes mid-November, NBC 5 Meteorologist Kevin Jeanes said. But that doesn’t look to be the case this year. “Not seeing any signs of snow yet. You look through the next 2-3 weeks and it doesn’t look like any of that arctic air comes our way,” Jeanes said, of the extended weather outlook for Illinois.
