MNstorms

What's this white stuff falling from the sky?

First actual snowfall of the season. Nothing has lasted more than a day here. Largest snowfall was in October. Beaten tonight.

Largest dense fog advisory in US history?

This may be the worst start to a winter here since 2006-2007. It didn't snow until January. Only 1.5'' total so far. No snow in sight. 

Weather.gov showed 92F for max.

It's 75F here on an October midnight. I've never seen that before. 75F at midnight in the summer is even rare.

HRRR looks hopeful for tomorrow.

Looked outside as this front went by and there's 100s to 1000s of dragonflies flying about.

Upper 80s in western Pennsylvania looks about right, too. That's what the forecast is calling for Sunday. You never see the GFS spit out 110F for Pittsburgh.

The GFS is terrible in the Midwest. Every summer it fails to take in humidity from corn sweat and even regular humidity. Last heat wave it showed 40F dew points here. It was 80F. The model is a long term outlook model, not a pinpoint accurate one.

94F 81F, 115F heat index today. Probably the seconded highest ever heat index here. 120F back in July 2011.

Amazing sounding outside of the cap.

After no severe weather warnings all year I actually got 2 today along with brief hail and wind. I thought I was going the whole summer without a good storm for the first time.

This storm has constant flickering. Seeing probably 5-10 a second. Not sure if I've seen so much lightning.

Tomorrow looks more interesting than Friday for me.

Warned for 80mph winds. 75mph observed. 

Tonight looks decent, at least the best chance for myself this season. More CAPE then one could ever ask for. Probably a step under a derecho. I thought an enhanced risk would be issued on the last update.

Looks like the TORD radar may have failed. Hasn't updated for 12 minutes. 

This is probably the worst area a tornado could ever be.

Interesting storm shape.

Wouldn't be surprised to see a slight risk added to Minnesota and Dakotas for tomorrow. Might be the best chance of the year to actually get a storm for me. Still sitting at 0s.

Getting real bored here.  Barely have heard thunder this year. This is the latest in my life I've gone without even a slight risk. Nothing in the forecast. I've had 0 watches or warnings. MPX has issued a record low 6 Tornado Warnings. Dull.

Exactly like I said. This was 30-40 minutes later.

Piotrowski just tweeted there was a tornado crossing Highway 92

Correct. There was tornado widely report first south of Gering.

People went full Jonesboro again. Hills blocked their view and called a lowering a tornado. I've been watching a stream that was close up and they had nothing.

Edit. Proof before I get told off. A chaser with a similar view to Freddy's deleted their tweet and called this a tornado.

A couple minutes later pass the hills.

Record breaking smoke and it may get worse overnight.
