The GFS model is indicating a potential snow system moving in next weekend after Thanksgiving! ❄️ Who's ready for more snow? A few other forecasting models are starting to align with this prediction, enhancing the excitement. Currently, there’s a 30-40% chance of this winter wonderland materializing, but as future model runs come in, we’ll gain clarity on this snowy possibility. Stay tuned for updates as we watch the forecast unfold! 🌨️

I had the incredible opportunity to chase one of the top 10 tornado outbreaks, capturing an astonishing video of a nighttime tornado! 🌪️ However, this powerful storm wreaked havoc in Villa Ridge, MO, leaving a trail of devastating destruction in its wake.

THIS IS CRAZY! 🌌 The sun has set for the last time in Barrow, Alaska, plunging the community into a staggering 65 days of complete darkness! 😱 This phenomenon, known as polar night, means residents will experience no sunlight until January 22, 2026. The long stretch of night transforms the landscape into a captivating realm of shadows, stars, and breathtaking northern lights. Get ready for an extraordinary winter experience like no other!

Exciting snow possibilities are on the horizon between November 8th and December 4th, according to the experimental snow forecast model! ❄️ As temperatures plunge, we could see significant cold sweeping in, which may enhance lake effect snow, creating picturesque winter scenes. This period could bring the first real taste of winter, so prepare for potential snowflakes and cozy vibes ahead! 🌨️

The rain is moving north across Illinois, with hazards including fog, low visibility, and brief heavy downpours. Prepare: monitor updates, slow down, and use headlights. 🌧️🌫️⚠️🌀🌬️🚗🔎🧭🛟🗺️

Much-needed rainfall is set to sweep across Illinois and neighboring states this Friday! ☔️ This precipitation will bring relief to parched landscapes, with some areas expected to receive up to an inch of rain. The forecasted downpour is essential for replenishing local water sources and supporting agriculture. So, grab your umbrellas and prepare for a wet but beneficial day ahead! 🌧️

Are you dreaming of a snowy Thanksgiving? ❄️ The Euro and GFS models are fluctuating on a potential system that could sweep across the U.S., but the details remain uncertain at this early stage. It could bring rain, snow, or possibly nothing at all. However, I believe the lake effect snow machines will kick into gear as colder air moves in around Thanksgiving, setting the stage for a wintery holiday! 🌨️

The past two years have been nothing short of magical as I've witnessed the breathtaking northern lights illuminating the skies across Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, and Indiana. Each display has been a stunning spectacle, with vibrant colors dancing across the horizon, leaving me in awe of nature’s beauty. The experience was unforgettable, and I’m thrilled to share these incredible photos that capture the essence of these celestial wonders. Join me in reliving these unforgettable moments! 🌌✨

The northern lights, or aurora borealis, are created when charged particles from the sun collide with Earth's magnetic field and atmosphere. This interaction produces vibrant colors that swirl and dance in the night sky, creating a mesmerizing display of light. 🌠💚

Remember the bone-chilling blizzard I chased on January 14, 2022, in Des Moines, IA? It was a day of chaos—cars stranded in ditches, jackknifed semis, and roads shut down. The storm's ferocity was terrifying, and this winter could bring a similar nightmare if the weather patterns align. Brace yourselves!

Watch out guys, “ goofball size hail “. I don't like thoss, weird people fall from the sky. 😂

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible

Valid 182056Z - 182300Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

SUMMARY...Isolated strong to severe storms, including a few
supercells are possible late this afternoon into this evening.
Should stronger storms develop and maintain, hail, and perhaps a
tornado or two are possible.

DISCUSSION...As of 2100 UTC, regional satellite imagery showed
several bands of gradually deepening cumulus across portions of
southern MO and far northern AR. Developing along a subtle
confluence axis near a surface low positioned at the junction of the
MS/OH rivers, weak low-level convergence near the low and increasing
ascent ahead of a mid-level trough should continue to support
destabilization and weakening of remaining inhibition this
afternoon. Continued heating amid increasing boundary-layer moisture
(dewpoints near 60 F) is supporting 1000-1500 J/kg of MLCAPE,
sufficient for strong updrafts. A 50-60+ kt westerly mid-level jet
overspreading the northern portions of the warm sector will also aid
in enlarging low and mid-level hodographs for organized storms,
including a few supercells.

With sufficient buoyancy and vertical shear for supercells, a
conditional severe risk is apparent late this afternoon. Some CAM
guidance shows a band of broken cells spreading east/southeastward
across the MO Boot Heal into northeast AR and western TN/KY vicinity
through this evening. With the aforementioned environment conducive
for supercells, hail would be possible given stronger rotating
updrafts and 7-7.5 C/km mid-level lapse rates. The threat for a
tornado or two is less certain, but could be locally favored near
the warm front where the strongest low-level shear (ESRH 100-200
m2/s2) and moisture advection are expected tonight.

The primary uncertainty this afternoon and evening remains the
intensity and longevity of any surface/near-surface based storms
able to develop. With large-scale forcing passing north of the
returning warm sector, convective coverage may be somewhat sparse or
delayed until the low-level jet strengthens isentropic ascent later
this evening. Given this uncertainty, it is unclear if a WW is
needed, though the environment could support some severe threat into
tonight. Conditions will continue to be monitored closely should WW
issuance be needed.
