Tropical Update: We now are tracking newly named Tropical Storm Helene. It's strengthening over the northwestern Caribbean Sea and is explicitly forecast to quickly intensify into a category one hurricane by tomorrow morning as it makes a very close approach to Cancún, Mexico. Further rapid intensification is forecast, and Helene is expected to be a category 3 major hurricane as it makes landfall along the northern Gulf Coast in Florida Thursday evening. After landfall, Helene will interact with an upper level low nearby and begin curving back to the northwest as it turns post-tropical. Its remnants, along with the upper level low, may deal the Tri-States some beneficial rain heading into the weekend. wgem.com/weather -Meteorologist Kyle Eck

UPDATE: First Alert has been discontinued, but some patchy fog is still lingering, so be sure to play it safe on the roads this morning. We will get a brief break from the showers and fog around noon, so temperatures should rebound to near 70. Later in the day, showers look to work their way back into the Tri-States and overnight, only a few stray showers will remain. wgem.com/weather -Meteorologist Kyle Eck

UPDATE: First Alert has been discontinued! Early-morning dense fog has begun to lift, and now everyone across the Tri-States has at least 1 mile of visibility. With this in mind, it is still a good idea to use plenty of caution when heading to work, whether it be driving at or below the speed limit, using your fog lights, or giving yourself plenty of driving distance between you and other cars around you. -Meteorologist Kyle Eck

24/09/2024

FIRST ALERT: Dense fog has set in across much of the Tri-States and it will be in place through the morning commute. Drive with plenty of distance between yourself and others around you and be sure to drive at or below the speed limit. Fog will gradually lift through late morning. A few showers are expected from time to time today with highs near 70. For information on our next rain chances, tune-in to WGEM News Today from 5 - 7am and visit wgem.com/weather. Drive safe this morning! -Meteorologist Kyle Eck

FIRST ALERT - DENSE FOG

23/09/2024

Dense fog may develop early Tuesday AM

Developing tropical storm could impact Tri-States

23/09/2024

Tropical Update: Potential Tropical Cyclone Nine is showing signs of development in the northwestern Caribbean Sea. For now, convection is displaced to the east of the broad center of circulation, so the storm is not very organized. Once the storm develops an inner core, significant strengthening is forecast, and it may rapidly intensify into a major hurricane by Thursday evening on approach to the Florida Gulf Coast. For information on whether the Tri-States will see any rain from it, tune-in to WGEM News at Noon and visit wgem.com/weather. -Meteorologist Kyle Eck

With beneficial rain over the weekend, we are now much closer to both our monthly and yearly to date average rainfall! More scattered showers are forecast today, which will help to add to the rain gauge. Showers may return late this week and into the weekend as a brewing tropical system may approach the Midwest after affecting the northern Gulf Coast. wgem.com/weather -Meteorologist Kyle Eck

23/09/2024

We picked up very beneficial rain over the weekend, and while we won't see quite as much rain today, we can expect to see some more showers. The umbrellas will be needed, as scattered showers are in the cards today. Additionally, dense overcast will keep those Autumn-like temperatures locked in place. For more information on if more rain and seasonable temperatures are ahead, tune-in to WGEM News Today from 5 - 7am and visit wgem.com/weather. Have a great first full day of Autumn! -Meteorologist Kyle Eck

Cooler temperatures and scattered showers have definitely helped make today feel like the first day of fall. The chance of isolated to scattered showers remains in play the remainder of Sunday. This threat fizzles out overnight but returns Monday morning. Temperatures will remain feeling like fall Monday only topping out in the upper-60's.

22/09/2024

Happy first day of fall! How is everyone enjoying these cooler temperatures?

22/09/2024

The Tri-States will receive some much needed rainfall overnight.

21/09/2024

First Alert: Heavy rainfall is expected across the Tri-States overnight tonight heading into Sunday morning. Rain will begin moving in after midnight, and last through the early afternoon hours Sunday. Scattered showers are still possible the remainder of Sunday afternoon and evening.

20/09/2024

Chances of rain return to the Tri-States overnight into Saturday morning. After this moves through, temperatures will heat up into the mid-80's. This is still much above average for this time of year, and mostly cloudy skies will be dominant Saturday. Dew points will increase overnight and will remain in the mid to upper 60's through Saturday evening.

20/09/2024

Today will feature decreasing clouds through late-morning. However, we stay hot and humid with highs in the low and mid 90s. This weekend brings the chance for rain - stray showers for Saturday, but heavier rains on Sunday. Some places may pick up a few inches of rain by the end of the weekend, so we are in First Alert for Sunday in anticipation for heavy rain and thunderstorms.
