Before you bundle the kids up to play outside, read through these guidelines for outdoor winter play, check the temperature, and don't forget the wind-chill.

The holiday season in Illinois always brings a mix of excitement and anticipation, and one of the biggest questions on everyone’s mind is: Will we get a White Christmas?

It was a toasty Tuesday. It was so hot that the daily record high set almost 50 years ago was broken. The warmest recorded low temperature was also broken in Illinois.

The National Weather Service stated that the storm will hit Illinois on Tuesday afternoon, possibly producing large hail, damaging winds, and tornadoes.

Another round of Red Flag Warnings have been issued.

A Red Flag warning was issued for 14 additional counties.

While portions of southern Minnesota received some decent snowfall over the weekend, it was nothing compared to the massive amount of snow that fell across parts of Iowa, as these pictures show!

We have another blast from Old Man Winter on the way, so have you noticed how bright the sky seemed at night after it snows here in Minnesota?

Surprised by the heat that Missouri and Illinois have had to begin Fall? Don't get used to it as a sudden change in weather patterns means a cooldown is coming soon.

A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect through Wednesday (1/25) for most of northern Illinois, with some areas getting over half a foot of accumulation.
