CHICAGO (AP) — A storm system moving across the Great Lakes delivered Illinois' first snowstorm of the season Sunday and forced the cancellation of more than 50 flights at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport.

Low visibility also caused delays of up to 90 minutes for flights, aviation officials said.

National Weather Service officials said the storm could dump up to 8 inches of snow in some northern Illinois counties.

The Federal Aviation Administration said that airports around the country were affected by Sunday's weather.

Closer to home, parts of Michiana may see up to 5 inches of snow as wintry weather moves across the area Monday.

The National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory effective 7 a.m. EST for LaPorte and St. Joseph counties in Indiana and Berrien County in Michigan.

Snow accumulations between 3 and 5 inches are expected, with the heaviest snowfall downwind of Lake Michigan, the NWS early-morning update said.

As winds increase during the day, they're expected to reduce visibility as blowing snow affects areas along the far southwest Michigan-Indiana line.

The advisory remains in effect until 7 p.m. EST.
