⚠️8AM Wednesday: Air quality continues to be "very unhealthy" across Chicagoland though numbers are slowly coming down. By this afternoon, our numbers should move us down below 200 into the unhealthy category. #Chicago #smoke #WildfireSmoke 😤😤

HISTORIC FEBRUARY-2024 ends: ✅Warmest on record-since records began in 1871, a stunning 10.7° above normal. ✅Sunniest on record since sunshine data began in 1893. We logged more than 1.5 times the normal amount of sunshine. 🔥🔥☀️☀️

I'm as big a fan of having my windows down/sunroof open than anyone else, but when the air is this bad it's not a great idea. Click this button in your car to recirculate air rather than pulling in new smoky air from outside. #AirQuality #wildfires

Raising a glass, or in this case a Heineken, in honor of my buddy Jim Ramsey! This was his beer of choice. You were truly one of a kind, we are still in shock! We love and miss you! Thank you for the memories my friend. #RIP

FRI PM: A wintry chill has settled into the area and will bring with it the coldest weekend in 8+ months; daytime 30s are expected. Accumulating snow is likely beginning late Saturday night into Sunday, with 1-2” for most of us. #ilwx #inwx 🥶❄️

This has typically been “primetime” for big snowstorms: 3 of the 5 heaviest snows on record have occurred in the late Jan/early Feb period. That will NOT be the case this year. You won’t need the shovel or snow boots for the time being. #Chicago ❄️
