Record breaking storm! Storm Update following Local Forecast

Chazz delivers a Storm Update following the Local Forecast out of the Twin Cities metro area.

Article courtesy KARE11:
MINNEAPOLIS -- A powerful low pressure is stirring up the entire midwest Tuesday and is breaking records as it storms in. The all-time lowest pressure record was broken in both Minnesota and Wisconsin Tuesday morning. The low pressure system is still strengthening and the record could potentially be even lower by later in the day.

The record keeps dropping as the low strengthens. The record was first broken this morning today in Aitkin at 28.42" and then this afternoon the record was broken again in Grand Rapids as the pressure dropped to 28.28", and currently the record is in Big Fork at 28.21". The low is still strengthening and pushing northeast.

In Wisconsin Tuesday morning at 11:35 a.m. the measurement was 28.38" or 961.06 mb. The previous record was 28.45" or 963.43 mb at Green Bay on April 3, 1982.

Air rises near low-pressure areas. As air rises, it cools and often condenses into clouds and precipitation. Usually, when forecasters say a low-pressure area is moving toward your region, cloudy weather and precipitation often result as the low-pressure area approaches.

A steady rain or snow can fall to the north of the warm front as warm moist air from the south rises up and over the cold air ahead of the warm front. Showers and thunderstorms often fire up ahead of the cold front in the warm, unstable air. Usually, showers and thunderstorms ahead of the cold front are much shorter in duration than the precipitation ahead of the warm front. Due to the counterclockwise circulation around low-pressure areas in the northern hemisphere, cold air will likely be found to the north and west of low-pressure areas while warm air is most often found to the south and east of low-pressure areas.

This low pressure area will produce a variety of weather from a possible severe weather outbreak with a tornado potential in Indiana, Ohio and southern Michigan in the warm sector of the storm to blizzard conditions across North Dakota in the cold sector of the storm. The rest of the Midwest, including Minnesota, is under High Wind Warnings and will see very strong winds that at times could gust higher than 50 mph. Winds are expected to intensify late Tuesday afternoon.

You should make the weather update portion a part of all future videos, that was a great addition to illustrate the local forecast.

We had alot of high winds around here too. We even got some thunderstorms that happened overnight.

Aside from the incredibly low pressure, my eye is caught immediately on the word "snow". It's getting closer! Great work as always :)

What program do you use for your local forecast bits? Looks so real!
