Light rain mixed with snow at times favors areas south of I-80 late in the day and evening. Drivers should we aware of slick road conditions.

Chicago-area roadways are expected to be packed Wednesday as many drivers hit the road to make their Thanksgiving destinations.

Hitting the road for Thanksgiving? You'll be joining nearly 80 million other people traveling for the holiday, auto club AAA says, with most of them going by car -- and some days are expected to be filled with traffic.

If you are staying local in Chicago, whether that be getting to your holiday destination or have any last-minute grocery shopping to do, clouds will remain in the area.
