    Illinois Weather 3/6 Morning - 25° Above Normal
    Mar 6 2026
    Good morning. Illinois. I'm Aaron Jolly. If you stepped outside already, you walked into a wall of fog. Dense fog advisories are up statewide until 9 A.M. Visibility's down to a quarter mile in spots, especially south of I-27. Take it slow on the roads — this stuff is no joke. The good news? It lifts by mid-morning as warmer air pushes north. And warm is the word today. We're talking 27 degrees to 25 degrees above normal for early March. Chicago hits 68. Springfield climbs to 77. Even Rockford reaches 68 despite morning storms. That's the kind of warmth that tricks you into thinking spring's here early. But here's the catch. Multiple rounds of storms are coming. The first wave rolls through this morning between 7 A.M. and noon, mainly north of I-80. Scattered showers and thunderstorms, possibly some hail. Then this afternoon, conditions turn favorable for severe weather. West of I-55, there's a Slight Risk. East of I-55. Marginal. Large hail, damaging winds, even an isolated tornado are possible if storms fire up. Tonight's the main event. Another line of storms pushes through after midnight ahead of a cold front. This one could pack a punch — strong winds, heavy rain. And yes, a tornado threat exists. Some storms could be severe. Winds pick up too. Southwest gusts of 30 to 35 miles an hour this afternoon, especially behind any storms. Saturday morning, the cold front sweeps through. Lingering showers exit by midday, then we dry out. Temperatures crash from the 60s Saturday morning down to the 40s by evening. Sunday turns beautiful. Sunny skies, highs near 60. Monday climbs to the upper 60s. Then Tuesday and Wednesday, another storm system brings rain chances back. Keep your phone charged and stay weather aware tonight. See you tomorrow. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast See you tomorrow.

  • Illinois Weather March 5 Midday - Flood Warning

    Illinois Weather March 5 Midday - Flood Warning
    Mar 5 2026
    Good afternoon. Illinois. I'm Aaron Jolly. If you drove to work this morning, you probably felt like you were piloting a submarine. Dense fog rolled in overnight and it's sticking around, cutting visibility down to a quarter mile near Chicago and along the lakeshore. Take it slow out there. In the next 24 hours. Here's where things get interesting. Illinois is running two completely different weather programs today. Down in Chicagoland, you're stuck with that fog and clouds, barely scraping 39 degrees. Drive south to Central Illinois and suddenly it's a different season — mostly cloudy but hitting 61 degrees. That's a 22 degrees split across the state. Up north, the fog clears by mid-afternoon and you'll reach 50 degrees. Tonight, that fog comes roaring back. A warm front is lifting north. And after sunset, expect visibilities to drop below a mile statewide. Lows range from 37 degrees in Chicago to 52 degrees down south. Friday brings the heat. That warm front surges north, pushing highs into the upper 60s to mid 70s — near record territory for early March. But here's the trade-off: scattered showers and thunderstorms arrive Friday morning, especially north. Northern Illinois sees the highest storm chances between late morning and early afternoon. Winds gust to 25 miles an hour. Friday night, a cold front sweeps through with another round of showers and thunderstorms. Some storms could pack a punch, with damaging wind gusts possible. Rain tapers off Saturday morning. The weekend cools back down. Saturday brings drier weather with highs near 60 degrees. Sunday stays pleasant in the upper 50s to low 60s. Then Monday and Tuesday warm back into the 70s before another storm system arrives mid-week. Drive safe in that fog today. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

  • Illinois Weather March 5 Morning - 33° Above Normal

    Illinois Weather March 5 Morning - 33° Above Normal
    Mar 5 2026
    Good morning. Illinois. I'm Aaron Jolly. If you stepped outside this morning and couldn't see your neighbor's house, you're not alone. Dense fog has swallowed much of the state overnight. Visibility's down to a quarter mile or less. And a Dense Fog Advisory runs through 9 A.M. For areas along and north of Springfield to Danville. Take it slow if you're commuting — that fog's thick as soup. In the next 24 hours. Southern Illinois is dealing with something more serious. A Flash Flood Warning stays active until 8 A.M. For Alexander. Johnson. Pulaski. And Union counties. We're talking 2.5 to 4.5 inches of rain already on the ground. If you're down there, stay off flooded roads. Chicagoland wakes up at 37 degrees under that gray blanket, barely climbing to 39 this afternoon with a chance of showers through midday. Northern Illinois starts warmer at 40 and reaches 50. Now down in Central Illinois? You're the winner today — 45 degrees this morning, climbing to 61 this afternoon. That's about 33 degrees warmer than we'd expect for early March. Tonight, fog redevelops as a warm front approaches. Lows hold in the upper 30s to low 50s. And if the fog clears in your area, you'll catch a Full Moon. Friday flips the script completely. Central Illinois surges to 78 degrees — more than 33 degrees above normal. Chicagoland hits 67. Northern Illinois reaches 69. But that warmth comes with a price — wind gusts over 25 miles an hour and likely thunderstorms by afternoon. Some could be strong Friday night. The weekend calms down. Saturday cools to the upper 50s and low 60s with clearing skies. Sunday brings sunshine and highs near 60. Monday warms back into the upper 60s and low 70s before our next system arrives Tuesday with more rain. Drive carefully in that fog this morning. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.
