Excellent advice from Meteorologist Jacob Dickey: Be prepared, not scared! Stay weather aware today, have your emergency plan ready, and monitor your weather alerts and radars throughout the day!

MOST IMPORTANT MESSAGE OF THE DAY:
Today is a severe weather day for the entire state of Illinois, regardless if you're in a 'higher' risk or not. Everyone could see severe weather, a lower risk does not equate no storms.

No matter where you are, you should still have a weather safety plan and know what to do. If a tornado warning is issued for your area, you should always have at least 2 ways to get alerts, and it is extremely important that especially today/tonight you are ready to go on a moment's notice.

Be prepared, not scared. We live in Illinois and severe weather/tornadoes are a rite of passage for us. We deal with them all the time. If you have a way to get weather alerts, and you are ready to go shelter if that time comes, then you're ready for whatever mother nature brings today, no matter if its anywhere from wild to mild.
