Get ready for bitter cold later this week in Chicago
CHICAGO (CBS) — Conditions will be cloudy Tuesday night with a low of 26.
For Wednesday, the high is 37 as warming winds pick up. Snow squalls develop Wednesday afternoon and evening with the passage of an arctic cold front from Canada.
Minor amounts of snow expected, mainly a dusting in most places to 2 inches in LaPorte County, Indiana, due to lake enhancement.
The front opens the door for a brutally cold air mass to head our way. Coldest wind chills of -5 to -15 will be common Thursday morning.

Milder weather blows in this weekend with a chance of rain early next week.
