Before you bundle the kids up to play outside, read through these guidelines for outdoor winter play, check the temperature, and don't forget the wind-chill.

The holiday season in Illinois always brings a mix of excitement and anticipation, and one of the biggest questions on everyone’s mind is: Will we get a White Christmas?

It was a toasty Tuesday. It was so hot that the daily record high set almost 50 years ago was broken. The warmest recorded low temperature was also broken in Illinois.

The National Weather Service stated that the storm will hit Illinois on Tuesday afternoon, possibly producing large hail, damaging winds, and tornadoes.

Another round of Red Flag Warnings have been issued.

A Red Flag warning was issued for 14 additional counties.

Goodbye single digits, and hello warmer December weather!

Surprised by the heat that Missouri and Illinois have had to begin Fall? Don't get used to it as a sudden change in weather patterns means a cooldown is coming soon.

A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect through Wednesday (1/25) for most of northern Illinois, with some areas getting over half a foot of accumulation.

It's not like we didn't know the wind was coming, but when it did show up on Thursday a few hours after a wind advisory was put into effect, it was surprisingly strong for Northern Illinois, even in April.
