The NWS has upgraded Cook County (which includes the Chicago metro area) along with Dupage, Grundy and Will counties all in Northeast Illinois. Rain is expected to transition to heavy, wet snow this evening. 

Additionally, and the main reason for the blizzard warning, will be strengthening winds that will gust to around 50mph. This will make for extremely dangerous white out conditions. Travel is strongly discouraged. 

Here is the warning text from the NWS.
