    3/2 Illinois Weather 6 AM: Winter Weather Advisory
    Mar 2 2026
    Good morning. Illinois. I'm Aaron Jolly. Folks, grab that coffee and listen up. High pressure parked near Lake Ontario is doing us a favor today. It's pushing that messy system from yesterday out the door and rolling in clear skies behind it. That's your story in a nutshell. One good dry day before things get interesting. In the next 24 hours. Right now you're stepping into 27 degrees under stars. Northern Illinois bottomed out at 19 overnight. Central Illinois? You dealt with that ugly mix of snow, sleet. and freezing rain. but that's done. Gone. Moving east as we speak. Now the sunshine. Up north, you're climbing to 44 degrees today under brilliant blue sky. Chicagoland stays a touch cooler at 39 degrees, but just as sunny. Head down toward Springfield and central Illinois hangs around 43 degrees with stubborn clouds still clearing out from last night's mess. Tonight those clouds creep back in. Lows settle near 28 degrees around Chicago, 31 degrees up north. and a milder 37 degrees in central Illinois. After 3 A.M., a slight chance of rain sneaks in statewide. That's the first hint of what's coming. Tuesday flips the script entirely. A warm front slides north and opens the Gulf moisture pipeline. Central Illinois sees showers and thunderstorms with highs near 53 degrees. Chicago and northern Illinois stay cooler. Upper 30s to low 40s with scattered rain. Looking ahead, this week brings a dramatic pattern change. Beneficial rain stacks up through midweek. We're talking potentially two inches or more across central and southern Illinois. Strong thunderstorms possible Wednesday. Then Friday. Central Illinois could touch 75 degrees. Let that sink in. Saturday a cold front knocks us back to the 60s with clearing skies. Spring equinox is 18 days out. We're gaining nearly three minutes of daylight every single day. Today's your dry window. Use it wisely. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

    3/1 Illinois Weather 6 PM: Winter Weather Advisory
    Mar 2 2026
    Good evening. Illinois. I'm Aaron Jolly. Folks, there's a high pressure system parked right over the Great Lakes tonight. and it's playing favorites. That big dome of dry air is shielding Chicagoland and Northern Illinois from any trouble. but Central Illinois? You're on the edge. and edges are where things get interesting. In the next 24 hours. Right now you're stepping outside to about 30 degrees under partly cloudy skies. Northeast winds are the culprit behind that bite. Ten miles an hour doesn't sound like much, but it's enough to make 31 degrees in Chicago feel like 18. That kind of damp chill cuts right through a hoodie. Up in Northern Illinois, you've got the coldest air in the state tonight. Temperatures crash to 22 degrees. By 7 A.M. Tomorrow, wind chills drop to 22 degrees. Your car's gonna groan when you start it. but Monday rewards the patience. Sunny skies, 45 degrees. Almost pleasant. Now Central Illinois. This is where the plot twist lives. Forty three degrees this afternoon felt almost springlike. Enjoy that memory. Snow rolls in around 8 P.M. and keeps falling through 3 A.M. One to two inches, peaking around midnight. Not a blockbuster, but enough to glaze those bridges and overpasses. Monday morning commuters, give yourself an extra ten minutes. The week ahead though? Completely different movie. We start cold Monday, low 40s. Then temperatures start climbing like they've got somewhere to be. Multiple rounds of rain Tuesday through Friday. By Friday. Central Illinois could flirt with 70 degrees. Thunderstorms are possible Wednesday and again Friday. March coming in like a lion and immediately switching costumes. Oh. and we gained nearly three minutes of daylight today. Spring is three weeks out. The light is winning. Charge your phone tonight and set that alarm a few minutes early if you're in Central Illinois. Slick roads don't care about your snooze button. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

    3/1 Illinois Weather Noon: Winter Weather Advisory
    Mar 1 2026
    Good afternoon. Illinois. I'm Aaron Jolly. Folks, there's a quiet cold sitting over Illinois right now. A big high pressure system parked over the Upper Midwest is pumping Canadian air straight down into our laps. That 26 degrees on your thermometer this morning? That's why. In the next 24 hours. But this calm doesn't last. A disturbance sliding in from the Great Basin flips the script tonight. and central Illinois. You're in the crosshairs. Let me walk you through it. Up north, you've got the easiest day in the state. Mostly sunny skies, highs near 35 degrees. Enjoy it. Tonight stays clear with lows around 21. Chicago, that northeast wind off Lake Michigan is doing its thing. Ten to 15 miles an hour, holding you to about 30 degrees. Feels closer to 18 with that damp chill cutting through your coat. Clouds roll in tonight. Lows settle near 29. Now central Illinois, pay attention. Clouds thicken through the afternoon with highs reaching 43 degrees. Then snow moves in after 7 P.M. A Winter Weather Advisory kicks in at 6 P.M. The heaviest stuff falls around 10 P.M. One to two inches for most of you, but a narrow band from Jacksonville to Mattoon could see three. That Monday morning commute? Give yourself extra time. Roads will be slick. Monday improves across the board. Highs climb into the mid 40s statewide. Now the week ahead gets wild. Rain takes over Tuesday through Saturday. Wednesday could fire up thunderstorms, some strong south of I-72. and Friday is the real plot twist. Highs surge into the mid 60s, maybe touching 70 degrees. We're gaining nearly three minutes of daylight every day now. Spring equinox is just 19 days out. Charge your phone tonight and set that alarm a few minutes early if you're in central Illinois. You'll want the extra time. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.
