Additional Daylight Loss Through November ☀️
As we continue through November, the rate of daylight loss will begin to slow across Illinois, but will remain significant during this time.
November marks the final month of significant daylight loss, as the rate of loss will rapidly slow heading into December.
During the month of November, we lose roughly between 49-60 minutes of daylight across the state.
Back-wash isolated to scattered showers will be likely across especially Northern and Central Illinois from Thursday morning through Thursday night, associated with a storm system that continues to move through the region.

As a storm system moves through the region, widespread showers and t’storms will be likely across the state from Tuesday morning through Tuesday night. Much of this activity will accompany a cold front, as it sweeps west to east across the state during this period.
While an organized severe weather threat is not currently anticipated, a stray strong/severe t’storm cannot be ruled out across Southern Illinois from Tuesday afternoon into early Tuesday night.
Additionally, gusty winds are likely across the state on Tuesday, with widespread peak wind gusts of 30-40MPH expected. Higher peak wind gusts into the 40-45MPH range cannot be ruled out.

Fall Foliage Update - November 2nd 🍁
High to peak fall foliage color is now estimated to be widespread across Illinois!
Foliage color has changed rapidly over the past week to week and a half, with vibrant foliage color now covering much of the state. 🍂
Enjoy it while it lasts, though. With additional periods of rain expected over the next day or two, and windy conditions likely tomorrow, these high and peak foliage color conditions may not stick around much longer!

For Monday night, more organized and widespread showers and isolated t’storms will be likely across Northwestern and Western Illinois, as a new storm system enters the picture.

October 27th NOAA Drought Monitor Update… 🏜️
This week’s Drought Monitor update shows a continued expansion and worsening of dry and drought conditions across Illinois.
The ongoing lack of widespread, meaningful rainfall has allowed dry and drought conditions to persist and intensify, particularly across the southern half of the state. With that said, some good news is on the near horizon.
