Earth just experienced its second-warmest November on record — second only to 2023 — making it all but certain that 2024 will end as the hottest year ever measured.
Cold weather is on its way back to Central Illinois following a warm weekend in early December.
Since opening in 1995, the National Weather Service's Central Illinois Weather Forecast Office in Lincoln has been operating 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.
Although Central Illinois saw snowfall Friday morning, meteorologists expected a short-lived "light dusting" across the region.
A mix of rain and snow is expected to move across the Central Illinois on Wednesday.
Gusting winds reaching 50 mph will be the biggest worries for motorists.
Human-caused climate change made Atlantic hurricanes about 18 miles per hour stronger in the last six years, a new scientific study found Wednesday.
A bone-dry October pushed almost half of the United States into a flash drought, leading to fires in the Midwest and hindering shipping on the Mississippi River, according to Associated Press reporting Tuesday.
Hurricane Milton’s devastating landfall along Florida’s Gulf Coast hit one of the most popular areas for temporary residents who spend the winter months living in the Sunshine State.
Fall is in full swing, but it’s not too soon to look ahead to winter, especially one that could feel considerably different than last year’s dominated by El Niño.
Florida residents slogged through flooded streets, gathered up scattered debris and assessed damage to their homes Friday after Hurricane Milton smashed through coastal communities and spawned a barrage of deadly tornadoes.
Hurricane Milton hit the west coast of Florida Wednesday and Thursday, where it knocked out power to more than 3 million customers and whipped up 150 tornadoes.
