"Chicago Welcomes New Year with Snowy Forecast and Chilly Temps Amid December's Cloudy Close"

Chicago is set to experience a mix of weather conditions as the new year approaches. Light rain and drizzle will persist into the early afternoon, with a low-pressure system moving out of the area. Overnight clearing could lead to fog development, which is expected to clear by Saturday midday. A clipper system will bring snow showers from Sunday afternoon to Monday morning, with possible light accumulations in northern Illinois and wind chills in the teens and 20s due to gusty winds.
