A tale of two months: For the first 12 days of January, Champaign-Urbana temps were 6 degrees above normal. But through 22 days temps are now 3.1 degrees below normal. It's the 31st coldest January of all time (since 1888). A warmup is ahead.

Wow - The Great Lakes typically have an ice coverage of 55% during the winter months, causing at least half of their surfaces to freeze. As of yesterday, they had a combined ice cover of just 0.2%. Lake Superior 0.5%, Lake Michigan 0%, Lake Huron 0%, Lake Erie 0%, Lake Ontario 0%

Dreaming of a white Christmas? Don't get your hopes up too high. There is a strong chance of above normal temperatures leading up to and during Christmas. #ILwx

Confidence is increasing that the middle of November will feature above average temperatures across a large portion of the nation. Some of the highest chances of above normal temps & potentially the largest warm anomalies are forecast to be centered around the Great Lakes.

Happy 100th birthday, University of Illinois Memorial Stadium. The first game to be played at the unfinished stadium was a 7-0 win over the University of Chicago, the lone touchdown by Red Grange. Illinois won the mythical national championship that year.
