**Not for Broadcast** Very close preview video of the tornado that lasted 10+ minutes near Creston Illinois around 5:45pm. #ilwx @NWSChicago

Bears look pretty good on all aspects of the ball tonight. Very impressive

No doubt that should of been a late hit flag on the bears. Nobody wants a QB to be injured.

Hard to get Arctic blasts across the lower 48 when the air consistently comes from the Pacific and not Canada. I could see a very consistent pattern with mostly unseasonably warm air across the Midwest through the end of the year. Not saying a brief shot of cold air isn't impossible, but whatever does occur will be short-lived and milder than what some people are shouting about. #ilwx
Incredible how end of Euro weeklies, day 45, shows same prevailing Super El Niño pattern as current 1-15 day forecast. Some are misinterpreting cool heights in South as cold pattern, but this is still very warm pattern flooded by Pacific maritime air.

Mild air will continue across the Midwest through mid-November as super El Niño continues to dominate our weather pattern into the beginning of winter. #iwlx
Not a whole lot of unusual cold to be found across North America into mid-November. An El Niño-fueled area of low pressure near Alaska's Aleutian Islands will continuously flood the continent with mild, Pacific air.

Breaking: The Titans are trading All-Pro DT Jeffery Simmons and a 2028 fifth-round pick to the Chicago Bears, sources tell @AdamSchefter and @RapSheet. Tennessee will receive 2027 and 2028 first-round picks and a 2027 fourth-round pick.

I probably bitch so much about this change but living on the far eastern edge of the central time zone makes this awful.
Hope all you psycho whack jobs are happy about this. Enjoy midnight at 6 PM. 🫠

Vikings might be the worst 6-0 team I've ever seen. Truly getting the Ws because of their defense and a little luck. #ilwx
The final undefeated team. The Minnesota Vikings.

Happy super El-Nino weather pattern. #ilwx
No significant shots of cold air anytime soon. Average high & low temperatures are dropping so this isn’t as bad as it looks, but this will no doubt lead to widespread 80s across the South entering November. Happens every year but still stinks.

We will be monitoring the beginning of November for a potential severe weather risk across Illinois. All hazards could be possible. #ilwx
Starting to see signals for active severe weather around the first week of November in the middle part of the country. Worth watching!

Ah yes, the annual cold front that ruins Halloween is on schedule this year it appears. #ilwx
ECMWF 00z from this AM doing well with seeing not only one but TWO cold shots through the first week of November. Expect a roller coast for this time period in terms of temperatures! You can compare this with other models on the same run by using the comparison tool in @SynopticWX 👀

For late October, we are far behind for leave color and drop for the norm in northern Illinois. A few maples and honeylocus have dropped but that's it. Oaks, most maples, and sycamores are holding up with little to no color with the wet fall and very warm temps. #ilwx

Ya winter is the worst time of the year and nobody can change my mind. Literally stupid
This is another one of those niche benefits to Gulf Florida that no one talks about - the sun doesn’t set at 4:30pm in the winter

Illinois is the only true core Midwest state and I'll die on that hill. Everyone else has characteristics that are apart of a different territory.
This is a very fair ranking of Midwestern states.
