A Red Flag Warning is in effect until 6 PM. Dry air and abundant dry grass, along with strong, gusty south winds, will produce prime conditions for wildfire growth. Avoid burning. Postpone burning until another day. Use extra caution today when working outdoors. Any spark could cause a fire. DO NOT carelessly discard cigarettes.

Here is a timeline of the active, more-impactful, weather for the next few days. Today it will be windy, very warm, and very dry which will result in a High Fire Risk. Tuesday afternoon and evening, thunderstorms are possible. Some in NW IL might be severe. Tuesday night and Wednesday, it will be drastically colder with blustery northwest wind. At this time, little if any snow accumulations are expected. Wind chills by Wednesday morning will be in the single digits and teens!

A few severe storms are possible Tuesday late afternoon, especially in Illinois. Please pay attention to the forecasts and be ready for a fast moving storm or two toward evening.

Records will be broken today and tomorrow! Here are the current record highs for today and tomorrow as well as the All-Time February and Winter (Dec-Jan-Feb) Daily Record Highs.
