The 2026 IPWMAN Conference is fast approaching, and we owe a massive thank you to the Illinois Department of Transportation! Their steadfast partnership is a key part in what allows us to offer world-class, cost-free education to our members. Thanks to IDOT, we are building a stronger, more resilient mutual aid network across the state.

⚠️ Weather heads up for tomorrow

We’re expecting rapidly changing weather Sunday. Warm temperatures will move in first, followed by storms that could bring strong winds, heavy rain, hail, and possibly an isolated tornado.

After the storms pass, temperatures are expected to drop quickly overnight, bringing much colder air, gusty winds and snow into Monday.

Please stay weather aware tomorrow afternoon and evening and make sure you can receive warnings if they’re issued.

Spring weather can change fast. Stay safe everyone. 🌩️🌬️
