So proud of this #Chicago kid. He’s an incredible, humble young man. So happy to see his star continue to rise.

There remains a threat for severe weather tomorrow. However, the greatest threat area may materialize south of our area if morning showers and thunderstorms are expansive. Stay up to date on the forecast! #ILwx #INwx

History. First time Terry touched the Immaculate Reception football since the play. Grateful to be part of the special night.

Ok this is incredible. Happy for my friend Terry

With severe storms in the forecast every day for the next four days, now is the time to know where to take shelter if a Tornado Warning is issued. Do YOU know what makes a good shelter? More tornado and severe storm safety tips: weather.gov/safety/tornado

Heads up! A threat for severe weather will return to the region on Monday, especially in the orange shaded area. We’re still four days away from the storm system arriving, so adjustments in the forecast are all but likely. #ILwx #INwx

What a day. Absolutely amazing covering the NFL Draft and I have SO many images to share. I figured that I'd start with one of the more unique ones, a view from the roof of the Steel Building in #Pittsburgh showcasing the 320,000 plus people that showed up today. Amazing.

Pittsburgh broke the all-time round one attendance record with 320,000 fans tonight, topping the 275,000+ who attended in Detroit in 2024, per the NFL.

With 25th pick the #Bears select Safety Dillon Thieneman
