We’re now entering deeper into autumn with winter fast approaching. October is pushing ever closer and this transitionary month can be a critical telltale month as to what we may expect later down the road. It was Joe Bastardi a few years back who said to me that often (not always), where the wettest weather and trough sets up […]
A cold upper low passing over the Great Lakes Friday night brought the first snows to parts of northern Minnesota and Wisconsin with several reports of a trace to as much as 1-2 inches which of course melted quickly due to warm ground.

If you haven’t, take a look as it gives […]
The current wild up and down setup is about to get wilder as a push of colder air is set to drop into the Upper Midwest and Great Lakes Friday into Saturday. The classic 540 height line which often indicates the rain-snow line will push far enough south and with precip associated with a storm system will present the real […]
