Cooler fall weather is perfect for getting cozy around a campfire, but dry conditions can still bring wildfire risk. If you’re camping, follow these campfire safety tips: - Clear 10 feet around the fire - Keep water and a shovel nearby - Drown and stir ashes until cool

Well above normal temperatures will persist through Friday, easing some by the weekend. Scattered light showers are possible Thursday through the weekend. A pattern shift early next week will bring higher chances for more widespread rainfall and cooler temperatures. #ILwx

It's Halloween week! 🎃 Parents, remind yourselves that some costumes — similar to puffy coats — have excess material and can prevent a car seat from keeping your child SAFE in a crash. Don't risk it — change them into their costumes at your destination. 🦄✔️

𝐑𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫: 𝐢𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐞𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐞𝐫, 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐝. 𝐒𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐲 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐝. Avoid swerving. Leaving your lane can lead to a more serious crash. If a collision is unavoidable, braking firmly while staying in your lane is often the safest option for you and your passengers. If you strike a deer, you may file your own crash report through ISP’s Civilian Crash Reporting System for eligible crashes. Just visit the ISP website and choose Complete a Crash Report Online. isp.illinois.gov/CrashReport… Please drive carefully this season. #watchfordeer
