Minnesota/Wisconsin Weather

Much of this week will feature clouds, periodic drizzle/showers & some fog. However, temperatures will continue to run well above normal. Keep in mind that we could easily drop into the teens/20s this time of year. Here is your extended outlook.

Sometimes, once you turn the facet on, it is difficult to turn off. Another heavy, soaking RAIN event in on the way for much of the region, including the Twin Cities over the next 48 hours as a warm front sets up across MN & WI. Here is the set-up.

If you have outdoor events this week, have a plan B as several periods of rain showers, drizzle & fog will be likely tomorrow thru WED. Meanwhile, if you've been buying into the latest cold & snow talk, return it with your receipts. Here is your latest extended outlook.

Here is my latest snow season outlook video that was sent to my clients last week. It is worth the watch. Long story short, the next 5 mos. should be warmer than normal & precipitation (rain/ice/snow) should be near or above normal. Enjoy! facebook.com/share/v/1AxZJaL…

This was a bit of a surprise. Portions of the southern MN, including the southern Twin Cities metro, received a soaking early this AM. Some localized areas received over 0.50"+. Good news for Trick or Treaters as this evening should be mostly DRY.

After a QUIET upcoming weekend, our atmosphere turns more ACTIVE again early next week with soaking RAINS likely. Meanwhile, temps continue to run WARM. Look at the overnight lows. Here is your extended outlook.

No tricks but lots of treats in this northwest WISCO forecast as Arctic air stays bottled-up in northern Canada. In turn, temperatures will warm & mostly dry conditions will prevail. Beautiful weather as we approach NOV. Here is your 'NORTHWOODS' outlook.

At some point, Arctic air will take hold, but not this weekend in MN Cabin Country. In turn, above normal temperatures are expected. Meanwhile, skies should remain mostly dry. Pretty darn nice for outdoor activities. Here is your 'UP NORTH' outlook.

Still NO signs of any true Arctic air. We usually experience a shot or two of it by now. Meanwhile, most of this weekend will be DRY before a soaking RAIN arrives early next week. Here is your extended outlook.

Here is where the RAIN has fallen so far this afternoon & evening. Notice the widespread heavy amounts north of the Twin Cities while more scattered activity was found from the Twin Cities on south & east.

Here is the recorded 5pm LIVE severe weather briefing from Facebook. Enjoy! facebook.com/share/v/1DJgNqM…

I will be going LIVE on Facebook at 5pm today to discuss the SEVERE weather scenario that is unfolding over portions of MN/WI where a TORNADO Watch is currently in effect. I hope you can join me.

Keep an eye to the sky over the next 12 hours. After today, our weather pattern turns QUIET until early next week. Meanwhile, the WARMTH shows no signs of giving way. Here is your extended outlook.

Here is the latest SEVERE weather video briefing for MN, WI & IA. As crazy as it sounds, we have the potential for severe T'Storms later this afternoon & into the evening. Enjoy! facebook.com/share/v/1CAnBKL…

I've got my eye on tomorrow PM as the unseasonably WARM conditions produce T'Storms. Meanwhile, the current active weather pattern will turn quiet later this week & this will set us up for a nice Halloween. Here is your extended outlook.

The threat for SEVERE weather is increasing for tomorrow PM as storms rapidly develop after 2pm. A strong low level jet will surge north into an east moving cool front to create a potentially volatile environment, especially for late OCT standards. Here is the set-up.

Can you believe this? Trick or treaters will NOT need a jacket this weekend as the WARMTH continues. Again, I don't see any true Arctic air until mid-NOV at the earliest. Meanwhile, I won't be surprised if T'Storms get a little feisty tomorrow PM. Here is your extended outlook.

Another much needed & healthy RAIN fell over much of the Upper Midwest & Northern Plains over the last 24 hours. Meanwhile, since the ground is not frozen yet, this moisture is soaking in. Check it out!

Still absolutely NO Arctic air is in sight. In turn, any snow or freezing temperatures talk will have to hold off thru at least mid-NOV. On the other hand, the threat for RAIN & T'Storms is there, especially between now & Thursday. Here is your extended outlook.

A cool front will push thru MN cabin country today bringing much cooler air along with some showers & T'Storms. By Sunday, temperatures will be more normal for late October. Here is your 'UP NORTH' outlook.
