Much needed rain is on the way! Exactrack is going a little on the heavy side with totals, but we still could rack up anywhere from .25" to maybe .75" of much needed rainfall.

What a perspective! This was the large field fire that spread through the bone dry fields just outside Rio, Illinois this afternoon.

Road closures: Knox Highway 33 from Knox Highway 34 to Rio and Knox Highway 2 from US Highway 150 N to Rio due to large field fire. Please avoid the area!

KWQC is following a very large field fire near Rio, Illinois. This is a picture submitted by one of our viewers of the large smoke plume.

Unfortunately today’s weather conditions couldn’t be much worse for fires, as we are adding a gusty wind into the mix.

Reminder, avoid all burning!

It was great weather for a cookout today! KWQC TV6 News celebrated some milestones and one retirement today with a cookout lunch for all the staff. Lots of fun!

Dry conditions are causing issues across the region. When could we see some much needed rainfall and more fall-like weather?

10/01/2025

Heads up! Due to the escalating drought, several cities and counties across the region are issuing burn bans.

As a reminder…
- Don’t burn in an open area
- Never throw out cigarette butts
- Avoid any burning, open or controlled if possible

Our next chance for rain doesn’t come until Monday of next week.
