BLOOMINGTON – We might have to wait until October for it to feel like fall across Illinois.

State Climatologist Trent Ford says the 14-day outlook shows above normal temps for most of the state.

High temps will be in the upper 80s to lower 90s across Illinois this weekend.

COVID-19 has made us more aware of the risk.  Going to work every day for some people means…
