Fall maintenance in Wisconsin.
From our friends at the Wisconsin State Climate Office, every county in Wisconsin has warmed during the winter between 1950 and 2024.
And in every county, it's a statistically significant trend.

Some wintry precipitation still falling this morning, but we're not seeing big snow totals.
Part of the reason is likely that we just didn't get that cold overnight where precipitation was falling, so we saw a lot of melting and mixed precipitation.
Warm air advection is a snow killer.

Those cranberry weather stations we were talking about the other day?
A few of them are at Ocean Spray co-op growers!

We might have a slushy mix of rain and snow across parts of the state tonight, but how do we get the different types of winter precipitation?
It's more than the air temperature at the surface - it matters what's above ground too.
More warm air, less snow - more sleet and rain.

It's a little cool out there as we approach lunchtime, which is fitting for it being Winter Weather Awareness Week in Wisconsin.

Very mild this morning, but high temperatures tomorrow won’t even come close to approaching what we’re currently seeing.
We promise we won’t make the cliched joke about temperatures dropping from 60 to 45 like they saw a state trooper.

Did you know that Wisconsin produces 60% of the U.S. cranberry harvest?
Did you further know that Wisconet supports the Wisconsin cranberry growers, with 5 weather stations installed at cranberry sites?
Now you know.

It's feeling nice across the state this afternoon - with highs in the 50s and 60s, but a cold front comes through this weekend and brings us back to more seasonable conditions.

It's been chilly for several hundred hours across Wisconsin since October 1.
But what is chilly?
When we count the number of chill hours for fruit producers, that's any hour that averages between 32° and 45° Fahrenheit between October and February.
Your Friday science lesson.

Main takeaways from SWPC's video update, posted one hour ago on X:
- Third CME has arrived.
- G4 watch has been extended into Nov 13 in case Bz goes south.
- Third CME is fast, over 800 km/s.
- Not sure if we are in the heart of the third CME, yet.

The cloud forecast for Wisconsin is looking better for tonight, so if the aurora is out - we need to see your pictures and time lapses!
We have upgraded our geomagnetic forecast today (12 November 2025) to the highest intensity level amid an ongoing solar storm.
Current predictions suggest that the activity will result in potentially the largest solar storm to hit our planet in over two decades.

If you’re in southwestern Wisconsin, go out and look at the aurora.
If you’re anywhere else in Wisconsin, don’t look at social media unless you really want to be jealous.
