Two storm chances next week–changes likely in forecast!!

Hello-

The models have been hinting at two large storms next week–or, what we are really seeing is the likelihood of one large storm in multiple waves, split up like two separate storms.   These are generally impulses that spin up off of the main low pressure center—so we usually see multiple waves.  This is fairly common of large storms of this nature.

The ECMWF runs yesterday were pulling the brunt of the storm over MN near Halloween, with a preliminary part of the storm on Tuesday.  Now, the normally reliable ECMWF seems to pull it further away on Halloween and after.

Outlook for MN: First Snow Chances

Hello-

You have probably been hearing of snow chances on your local news forecasts… and yes, it is looking more and more likely.

Change happens quickly in Minnesota this time of year.  We can go from late season severe weather to early season snowfall like the flip of a light switch.  For those of you that didn’t know, South Dakota and Wyoming have already been blasted by some early season snowfall–measured in FEET.  Some places got upwards of 4 or 5 feet, with drifts that buried homes, and killed over 100,000 animals/cattle.  We won’t see anything like that, but the first couple of snowfalls always seem to generate some buzz–and certainly some unwanted excitement on the roads.

September 2nd thru September 8th

Hello-
There has been a long gap in posts–my apologies. I have been mostly on Twitter due to my busy schedule. The weather tends to wind down a bit in the fall in the Upper Midwest. Aside from a few severe weather instances and the heat wave, things haven’t been terribly intense here. After a brief cool down on Sunday and Monday (Today)–we should begin to moderate again for the week. September–just like the month of March, happens to be one of our biggest changing weather months, when the Sun goes through it’s most rapid transition with it’s angle of inclination and solar radiation output.
