A Dense Fog Advisory is in effect until 9 AM on Friday. Visibility will be one quarter mile or less at times. Low visibility could make driving conditions hazardous. If driving, slow down, use your headlights, and leave plenty of distance ahead of you.

Thunderstorms are moving through the Metro East right now. Nothing is severe at all. Just your normal thunderstorms. Lightning and heavy rain are the only real risks.

11/16/2025

After today we will be entering a very wet period, with rain chances each day through at least Friday. Thunderstorms will also be possible at times. While some storms could become strong to severe, there is nothing pointing towards a severe weather outbreak for us. I think most of that stays to our south.

While I don't normally discuss things more than a few days out, there are a couple long range things I wanna talk about real quick since I keep seeing them pop up on my socials.

Thursday there will likely be showers and thunderstorms. While some storms could become strong or even severe, I do NOT expect this to be a severe weather outbreak by any means. Really the only thing I would be slightly concerned about is the potential for flooding, but we'll discuss that as we get closer, if the need arises.

Now, the bigger thing I'm sure you all have seen. Thanksgiving is still twelve (12) days away. There is no way that any respectable forecaster is giving you a forecast for something this far away. Yes, long range ensembles are pointing towards below normal temperatures for the end of the month, around the same time that a strong weather system moves through the Central U.S. This could bring winter weather to some in the Midwest, however, it could also just bring us cold rain (which is more likely imo). I'll be keeping a very close eye on it and give you an update next weekend at the earliest as to if we can expect anything.

Two more days of above normal before we return to more seasonable temperatures. Highs will be in the mid to upper 70s through Saturday, with highs in the upper 50s and lows in the 30s/40s returning on Sunday and continuing through next week. There will be chances for rain each day beginning Monday and continuing through the end of next week.

Alright, let's see those northern lights photos! This was taken in Wood River!

We will see temps gradually warm throughout this week, with a high in the upper 70s on Saturday. Sunday's high returns to the 50s with rain chances next Monday.

11/04/2025

Tuesday will definitely be the warmest day of the week, with a high near 70. High temperatures will gradually decrease to the low 60s with a chance for rain Thursday evening/Friday morning.

Next weekend looks to be our first taste of winter, with highs in the upper 40s and lows in the upper 20s. With the first hard freeze possibly, this will likely damage or kill any plants that are sensitive to freezing temps.

Showers and thunderstorms are expected to move into the area this afternoon and into the evening hours. Most will just see your typical thunderstorms, a few storms could become strong to severe.

There is a Level 1/5 Marginal Risk area for Severe Thunderstorms that encompasses most of the Metro East, with a Level 2/5 Slight Risk area for the far southern counties of our region. The primary risks with any severe storms that do develop will be damaging winds and excessive rainfall that could lead to flooding. While unlikely, rotation can't be completely ruled out.

Regardless of storms, it will be windy for the next few days with gusts reaching 30 mph or higher at times. Be sure to use this morning to secure any Halloween decorations. Use caution with any inflatables.

Temps will also be more seasonable, with highs in the 60s/70s and lows in the 30s/40s this week. Time to dig out the jackets and hoodies if you haven't already!

10/15/2025

I am keeping an eye on the possibility for severe weather this weekend. By no means does this look like an outbreak at the moment, and most people who see storms will just have your run-of-the-mill thunderstorms. A few could be strong to severe. Regardless, it wouldn't be a bad idea to go over severe weather plans with your family. Remain weather aware this weekend. I'll have more information as we get closer.

10/11/2025

With portions of central Illinois entering extreme drought conditions, no rain is in sight. Highs will remain in the 70s with lows in the 50s through at least next Friday.
