NBC 5 Chicago: News & Weather

Local Chicago news and weather in one app

NBC 5 Chicago: News & Weather is built for people who want a local view of what is happening across Chicago and Illinois. It combines breaking news, weather forecasts, severe-weather information, traffic updates, sports, business, entertainment and lifestyle coverage from the NBC 5 Chicago team.

Weather tools for your usual locations

The weather section supports saved locations, customizable alerts and forecasts for your area. You can check hourly conditions, 10-day forecasts, radar and storm tracking, along with details such as air quality and UV levels. Weather videos from local meteorologists and information about area school closings add useful context when conditions change quickly.

Alerts, live coverage and a clear news feed

News alerts can be adjusted for Chicago stories, national headlines and international news, so you can decide what deserves a notification. A latest-news feed collects new articles and videos, while an alerts center helps surface important stories you may have missed. The app also includes a free 24/7 streaming channel with local news, weather and special coverage, plus live reporting during major events.

Who should choose it

This is a sensible pick for Chicago-area residents who want one app for local reporting and weather rather than a general national news reader. It is less useful if you only need occasional headlines or forecasts and do not want a steady stream of local updates.
