1 current report along the route. Always check with the responsible state DOT before setting off.
Winter reporting is off for the season. Iowa DOT's Winter Road Conditions – Midwest Region feed, which carries Illinois DOT's segment-by-segment snow and ice conditions, runs from October 15 to April 15; outside that window it changes only as needed. Our own forecast below runs year-round.
Conditions are entered by Illinois DOT maintenance staff and describe what is on the pavement, not the forecast. They reach this page through Iowa DOT's Winter Road Conditions – Midwest Region feed, published for reference; the authoritative report is Getting Around Illinois. Always check with Getting Around Illinois before setting off.

NOAA 1991–2020 Climate Normals, from a weather station in Illinois. A dash is a figure that station does not report, not a zero.
From Bloomington to South Beloit, with the position of each town measured along this stretch itself — counted from the Bloomington end, not from a state milepost, so it will not match the numbers on the signs.
