The strong winds have caused some damage across the area today. The tree and shed photo are in Bethany and the power pole is at the corner of IL-105 and Esther road just east of Decatur. Snow/sleet causing slushy roads. @NWSLincolnIL
A Severe Thunderstorm Watch has been issued for most of central Illinois until 7 PM. Make sure your weather radios are on and you have multiple ways to receive warnings. #ilwx
Increasing winds through the day, along with the continuation of drier conditions, will bring about lower relative humidity values this afternoon. This combination will elevate the fire danger around the region, with the highest concern west/northwest of the I-55 corridor.
Yelling, “And One,” after a layup or close range shot because you think you got fouled needs to stop! It doesn’t help you get a call and is super annoying. Please, just stop this at all levels! Signed a basketball official.
So hard to watch the pac-12 game tonight with @BillWalton complaining about the officials. Stop! Anyone who complains about the officials should grab a whistle and try it themselves.
Strong winds, low humidity and drought conditions will lead to a high fire danger again Saturday. #RedFlagWarning
