Commuters are being advised to drive carefully during what could be a cold, rainy commute to work Wednesday morning.
The National Weather Service issued a winter weather advisory set to take effect about 6 a.m. Wednesday, saying that freezing drizzle could make for slick roadways and sidewalks until noon.
Reminder for tomorrow morning's commute - freezing drizzle is expected in northern locations for a few hour period. Expect at least patchy slick conditions. Heart of the city of Chicago likely to be a tad above freezing, but may be foggy like southern locations.#ILwx #INwx https://t.co/EDHCvd7xy7
