Well, just yesterday I was sharing how the computer models had shifted snow (unfortunately/fortunately, depending on your take on snow) to the south, and now that trend has reversed course. Yesterday, my final line was that "it'll take a significant…
Last night was the first time in recent memory I've heard tornado sirens from a real tornado threat since moving home to Minneapolis in 2011. With a strong bow echo/MCS (mesoscale convective system) we saw straight-line winds strong enough to…
It's only Saturday and this weekend looks balmy (ok, Sunday looks warm-ish, near 40°, but we're already starting to think about an incoming snowstorm for Monday-Tuesday in the Twin Cities and across much of Minnesota and Wisconsin. Here's the timing:…
We've nearly made it out of our first major cold snap in the Twin Cities and have some 20s or even upper 20s/low 30s on the way for Monday and Tuesday. That jump in temperatures is your first clue that…

I've avoided sharing a forecast so far on this storm because it seems like every computer model run has been wildly different. Just a few days ago the American GFS was showing 7-9" of snow while the European ECMWF was…
We're talking about two storm systems set to impact Minnesota (especially northern Minnesota) and the Twin Cities. The first will have a strong impact on northern Minnesota, with a Winter Storm Watch in effect for late Saturday night through Sunday…
First off, hello! It's been nearly a year but now that interesting weather is back in the picture, so am I. Let's jump right into it. We saw a massive storm system blast through on Thursday to Friday, leaving is…
After seemingly months of winter without snow in the Twin Cities and much of Minnesota we've now found ourselves right in the crosshairs of two storms in a week, and another is on the way. Last Wednesday's storm ended up…
We've been lucky for about the past month in the Twin Cities -- after about 8" of snow on October 20, we shed it all with a warm-up. After another 8" of snow in early November, we've shed that snow…
