Wildfire smoke continues to fill across the region and is causing very poor air quality in addition to reduced visibilities. See the PDF (document.airnow.gov/air-qual…) from the IL EPA for tips on staying safe and airnow.gov for the latest air quality info. #ILwx #INwx

All of Illinois is either under a heat advisory or an extreme heat watch. This kind of weather can cause heat illnesses or even be fatal. Plan ahead to stay cool, and visit a cooling center, mall, or large store if your home isn't keeping you cool enough. keepcool.illinois.gov/

The risk for #severethunderstorms has increased from level 2 to 3 (out of 5), for a chunk of #Illinois. Please keep tabs on your local forecast so you can be #prepared. #ILWx #SevereWeatherPreparednessMonth
Strong to severe thunderstorms are anticipated to develop tomorrow afternoon and evening while a sharp cold front drops through the area. Primary concerns are very large hail and damaging wind gusts, although a few tornadoes can't be ruled out south of I-80 #ILwx #INwx (🧵1/3)

The Trump Administration finds new ways to pull the rug out from under Americans every day. And now they're putting babies in danger. Illinois just enacted a law to provide our own science-based recommendations to protect access to vaccines so families get the care they need.

Illinois families deserve trusted advice about vaccines, guided by experts and established research.  With this new law, Illinois can respond swiftly to any dangerous or anti-science actions at the federal level – and ensure Illinoisans stay protected.

More snow expected in most parts of #Illinois today and tonight. Have you dug yourself out from the weekend snow? Really cold conditions are coming, so if you have to be out shoveling or traveling, bundle up and be careful. #ILWx

Today, I'm proud to sign into law legislation that provides universal mental health screenings for children in Illinois public schools.   If kids are struggling with anxiety or depression — it’s our duty to ensure they have the support they need to get the help they deserve.
