Will County west of I57 isn't expected to see much snow, but with lake effect, it is still a possibility.
By Ryan Fitzpatrick and Ben Feldheim
Monday night is going to be a game of snow roulette, according to the National Weather Service (NWS).
A “heavy band” of lake effect snow is forecast to hit Southeastern Cook County and Will County east of I57 beginning 11 p.m. Monday night and and last until 9 a.m. Tuesday morning.

But there’s a catch.
The NWS says the snowfall region will be less than 10 miles wide, so conditions can vary dramatically in a short distance. The heaviest hit areas could get 6 to 12 inches of snowfall. Temperatures are also expected to plummet and “dangerously cold wind chills” may exist.
