Picked up a surprise inch of snow. Season total at 76.5”.

Kind of ripping under this mini band.

Def going to end up with Wind Advisory followed by Winter Weather Advisory. Might sneak in a Severe Thunderstorm Warning in between.

SBN’s top gust was 68 mph today.

Love where I sit for this one. Severe threat for damaging wind and a spin up Sunday night followed by 2-5” of snow (maybe more… we’ll see how hi-res models handle LE) on Monday/Monday night. This may upgrade my winter rating from A to A+

Lost power for a couple hours this morning. SBN peak gust of 59 mph.

I still like where I sit with the 6z euro. It is a tough look for Iowa but keeps NE IL, NW IN and SW MI in the game for a few inches of wind driven snow. I’ll be the lone positive vibe. Going to be a fun system. Slight risk of severe weather on Sunday followed by potentially near-blizzard conditions on Monday. Let’s go!

Lake response looks impressive. I think we can manage at least a Wind Advisory/WWA Advisory combo in N IN/SW MI. Maybe a WSW if things go well.

This got me thinking... we haven't had a HWW in a while in St. Joseph County. Turns out it's been the first one issued here since November of 2019!

Palm trees gonna get blown away. Pity.

Killer tornadoes, Moderate Risks, record warmth, flooding, High Wind Watches, more tornadoes?, a blizzard, a flash freeze, and Leprechaun’s that look like Farrah Fawcett.

Goodness gracious. This is shaping up to be one of the most memorable Marches (March’s?) in quite sometime in the lower Great Lakes.

Fun footnote from last night storms: SBN on the northwest side of South Bend gusted to 60 mph as the supercell collapsed south of the city.

Getting some good winds out of the squall line now.

Sounds like some damage in Knox but the EMA director didn’t sound too concerned. We also saw photos as it tracked south of South Bend but damage is relatively minor across the southern part of the county. Could have been much worse. We’ll see what daylight brings.
