Posted: 8:30pm Wednesday 7/11/18.

It’s been a long time! As you can see- I just launched a new website here, and I plan to keep up the blog more- I promise!

Now- on to business.

Severe weather may be an issue overnight Wednesday into Thursday, and depending on how much leftover AM convection (storms) and cloudcover we have, it could alter the dynamics for Thursday.

Thanks for checking in!

The title isn’t meant to scare you, but we do have the possibility of some Severe Weather this weekend in the Upper Midwest & Minnesota–particularly on Sunday. It still is a bit of a ways out, but it is worth watching. The interesting thing to note is that this potential event has come up on the day 4-8 Outlook from SPC (Storm Prediction Center)–for both Day 5 and Day 4. The next day or so should provide more clarity on the situation. The wording of Supercells and Tornadoes has come up, and it surely has generated a bit of buzz.
