CHICAGO (CBS) — Widespread snow is on the way for the Chicago area. Snow ramps up area-wide by the time the Friday morning rush picks up. There is steady snowfall for several hours, giving way to slick roads. Expect the snow to taper off Friday afternoon and shift into Northwest Indiana.

Snow from a winter weather system in the southern part of the U.S. had moved into the Chicago area early Friday morning, with some parts expected to see a slippery rush hour commute, the NBC 5 Storm Team said.

Snow is expected across the Chicago area during the Friday morning commute, ABC7 Chicago meteorologists said. Iconic landmarks such as the Hollywood Sign were engulfed in smoke from the LA wildfires.
