⚠️ Weather heads up for tomorrow

We’re expecting rapidly changing weather Sunday. Warm temperatures will move in first, followed by storms that could bring strong winds, heavy rain, hail, and possibly an isolated tornado.

After the storms pass, temperatures are expected to drop quickly overnight, bringing much colder air, gusty winds and snow into Monday.

Please stay weather aware tomorrow afternoon and evening and make sure you can receive warnings if they’re issued.

Spring weather can change fast. Stay safe everyone. 🌩️🌬️

As closes out we have a chance of severe weather throughout areas of the state. Have multiple ways to receive warnings!

Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected this afternoon. The severe threat is tied to the uncertainty with how far north the warm front travels. North of I-80 can expect gusty winds and maybe some small hail with storms. But south of I-80, there is a chance for stronger storms that might become severe.

Don’t put those shovels away just yet.

We know you're ready for spring, but snow is still possible starting Sunday in northern Illinois. A wintry mix of rain, ice, and snow could make travel difficult though Monday, so pay attention to updated forecasts over the weekend.
