Over 12,000 homes in Cook County are without electricity while 16,000 in Kane County are suffering the same fate.
When winds pick up again this morning there may be more downing of trees and limbs with subsequent power outages. Roads will remain just wet as some drizzle falls. Fog will be an issue this morning with visibilities dropping to near zero in some areas for a few hours before the winds pick up. Tonight will be mostly cloudy and breezy with lows in the teens except right downtown where low 20s will do. Tomorrow will be mostly cloudy and cold with highs in the mid to upper 20s and wind chills in the low teens most of the day. There could be some light snow at night-enough to coat the ground in some places.Saturday begins the next significant warmup when highs reach around 40 degrees taking care of any remaining ice or snow.
Monday will be windy and warmer with mid 50s likely and a good chance of rain. Election Day should be mostly sunny and pleasant with highs in the 40s.that I have read and agree
