Tonight is shaping up to be chilly! Here is a look at our forecast overnight lows. If you're planning to be out and about, be sure to grab a jacket! (By the way, the last time we experienced widespread lows in the lower 40s was way back in May). #ILwx #INwx

Here's video of a waterspout coming ashore near the Indiana Dunes State Park. Waterspouts will likely continue until later this morning and in rare instances (like this one) can move onshore before quickly dissipating. If you see threatening weather approach, seek shelter! #inwx

Yesterday morning we had the privilege of hosting Congressman Bill Foster (IL-11) for a tour of our office and radar. Given his Ph.D. in physics, we appreciated talking about the science of meteorology with @RepBillFoster but were glad he didn't ask us to derive any equations!

Yesterday, I had a chance to visit the @NWSChicago offices in Romeoville and learn how they use science to forecast the weather and keep people safe.
