Historic Storm


As winter approaches, we typically begin to see strong low pressure systems come crashing into the Continental U.S. This year, however, looks to be historic. This could end up being the lowest mb pressure recorded in decades for a synoptic scale system. Extremely intense winds are currently occurring across the Upper Midwest, as well as Blizzard condtions for North Dakota. Areas in North Dakota could see as much as 6 inches of snow tonight into tomorrow. Severe thunderstorms moved across Iowa, Illinois and Indiana late Monday night/early Tuesday morning. Wind gusts could reach 60 mph today across WI, IL, and IN. Expect much colder temperatures across the Upper Midwest. Lows around 20 degrees are likely for North Dakota Wednesday night, while 40 degree temperatures can be found across IL during the day Thursday.

Make sure to check back tomorrow as I will post which areas received the highest wind gusts.
