Make Your Weather Source Work For You…

Hello everyone!

I am seeing a lot of posts about frustration over today’s storm online. Believe me– it frustrates me on the same level! These storms are very difficult to predict–and at the end of the day, people rely on their weather information and their weather source to make critical economical/safety/and travel decisions. We always go based on the data we have in front of us. Everyone–including the National Weather Service thought this storm was going to pack a punch. It still did–for some, but it definitely fell short for others. Dry air became a huge issue to overcome, and cut down on totals for many. As most of you know though, I always do my best to stay very close to each and every one of you and provide the best info possible–and I do it all for Free. I am not paid by a TV station for any of my efforts–or from my App. I do it for the passion and the love of the science, and of course, for you! Read more

Wild Weather Continues

Hello–

Many of you probably have Spring fever right now–and rightfully so, as it is Spring–on the calendar at least.  We have been above normal this week by a slight bit, with the exception of yesterday when we were quite a bit above normal.  We are about to get some active weather leading us into the weekend, and we may even conclude the weekend with some snow.  Don’t put away the shovel yet, as that may not be our only chance.  Last year we were shoveling in May, so I guess it isn’t anything new.

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.

Weather Update: July 27th thru July 29th

Welcome to late September to early October temperatures!  Quite honestly, I didn’t even see this coming or think we could get this cold so soon.  But it’s here!  The perfect weekend to sit outside if you have a heat phobia, or the perfect weekend to get those random tasks done, so that you can enjoy our (hopefully) better weekends to come in good way, outside.
