Forecast Through the Weekend

Wintry Mix Possible Late Tonight into AM

Breezy Friday

January 2026 Review

Wintry mix will be possible late tonight into the AM hours across parts of our NE, resulting in slick conditions for the morning commute. Otherwise, tomorrow will be windy with a mix of clouds. Near-seasonal temperatures Saturday will trend upwards Sunday and beyond.

There will be the chance for wintry mix tonight into the Friday AM commute, largely in our northeast. Any accumulation will be light, but enough to make slick conditions in the AM. For road conditions in Iowa: 511ia.org and in Illinois: gettingaroundillinois.com

We will have a windy Friday across the area as a cold front moves through in the morning. Winds will be out of the northwest at 20-25 mph with gusts up to 35 mph. Secure any loose items outdoors and be wary of high-profile vehicles on highways.

Taking a look back at January, temperatures started out warm for the first 2 weeks then turned much colder for the rest of the month. Most of the precipitation fell on January 8th, with monthly totals a quarter to an inch below normal. Snowfall also was below normal for the month.
