Good morning, and happy Friday! This is your weather for Friday, January 12th, 2024, for the Windy City, Chicago. Grab your favorite hot beverage, and let's dive into what Mother Nature has in store for us today.

Waking up this morning, you might have felt the chill in the air with temperatures hovering right around the freezing point at 32 degrees. Bundle up in layers because it's not getting much warmer. The high for today will just touch 32 degrees as well, while this evening will cool down to a brisk 32 degrees, so keep that coat handy.

Now, let's talk about the snow. Chicago's no stranger to a winter wonderland, and today is no exception. We've got a snow blanket coming our way with accumulations that could reach around one and two-thirds of an inch. It's definitely a day to enjoy the picturesque city in its snowy glory, just be sure to wear your best boots and prepare for some shoveling.

The humidity is at the top of the charts at 99%, which means the air is as full of moisture as it can get. And with an atmospheric pressure of 997, it might just feel a bit heavier when you step outside.

As for the wind, it's coming from the east at about 18 miles per hour with gusts that could reach up to 37 miles per hour. That's going to make the snow dance around a bit, so watch out for those sudden flurries.

The sky is going to be a blanket of its own with 100% cloud coverage, which means it's a day without a glimpse of the sun
