CHICAGO (CBS) — After a damp, mild stretch of weather, colder air is returning to the Chicago area.

Expect a mix of clouds and sun on Tuesday with cooler west winds. This week, we are tracking two approaching storm systems that may both bring light snow and minor travel impacts.

The first system arrives Wednesday morning with scattered light snow showers early. We currently expect up to 1/2 inches of snow and the potential of slick roads during the commute. The second system brings another round of scattered snow showers Thursday afternoon through Friday morning, potentially leading to another round of slick roadways in some areas.
