Brrrrrrrrrrrr...A brief blast of bitterly cold air will continue tonight into Friday. The lowest temperatures since winter 2019 are likely, including a late first sub-zero reading of the season for many locations. Breezy northwest winds Thursday evening will diminish to less than 10 mph by early Friday, with wind chill values bottoming out at about 10 to 20 below zero. Wind chills locally colder than 20 below are possible in portions of northern Illinois. A wind chill advisory is in place for our Illinois counties from 8pm tonight through 10am Friday morning. Temperatures will only rise into the teens on Friday afternoon, though winds will be light under sunny skies. Be sure to dress in layers if you have to be outside and remember to bring your pets indoors! ... See MoreSee Less
