THE LOOP — Chicago is in for what should be the biggest storm so far this season beginning Saturday evening — and maybe the biggest in four years.

And it looks like it's going to be a direct hit.

"There's nothing to suggest it's not happening," National Weather Service meteorologist Ricky Castro said Saturday morning. "It's not going to miss us like the heaviest snows missed New York City the other day. It's not going to miss us."

By the end of the weekend, some parts of the lakefront could see as much as 12 inches of snow. The rest of the Chicago area should brace for between 5 to 10 inches of snow — and maybe even more if the conditions lead to snow before rain Saturday evening.
