Snow squalls will persist through the afternoon across the Ohio Valley today, and some minor accumulation is expected, with the main threat being lowering visibility. Lake Effect snow will persisted in the Great Lakes and Lake Erie, adding even MORE totals to what has already

The latest HRRR is showing over 2 FEET of snow for areas south of the Milwaukee metro. Lake Effect snow rates up to 5” an hour could definitely cause some problems, especially if the bands stall.

We will need to keep an eye on a potential return to severe weather towards mid November, specifically the 15th. No specifics yet, but definitely a trend to continue monitoring.

Winter Storm WARNINGS remain in effect from the Chicago Metro to South Bend. Lake Effect snow will continue to pose a risk for travel hazards, and the HRRR model has snow totals between 4” and 9” for this area. Exercise caution!

Light to moderate snow will begin to pick up overnight tonight across the Ohio Valley as temperatures continue to hover around freezing. We will need to watch the development of temperature, as it will greatly affect how much snow drops. You can see the temperature difference on

🧵Minnesota is known for its beautiful landscapes, cold winter temperatures, and amazing snow. But, for major tornado outbreaks? That's not common at all. June 10th, 2010 changed that view, when a series of 70+ tornadoes struck across the state of Minnesota:

Into the evening hours, more discreet supercells began to form along a line. These began producing hail and damaging winds, as-well as brief tornadoes. However, another area of supercells began making themselves apparent in southern Minnesota, and it wasn't long before another
