Rain on Friday you say? I’ve seen some posts saying it will be the “worst rainstorm in 20 years for the metro”…. Also “monsoon-like” moisture. Let’s dial this way way back here and temper our expectations.

Meteorologist Bo Cole @boknowsweather.com · 01/09/2026

Never predict rain during a drought. But I’m going to predict some anyways.

Here is our focus area for Wednesday! The threat comes a lot closer to home. Stay tuned for updates. All modes of severe weather are possible.

000

Meteorologist Bo Cole @boknowsweather.com · 09/06/2026

Severe threat for Today looks to be in the Dakotas and then I expect a line of storms to press thru the area between 1am and 7am in the Twin Cities. Then more storms tomorrow for our area are a TBD depending on how the AM clears out. Next post will cover tomorrow’s threat areas.

Forgot to post this before dinner yesterday but here’s a funny Hank clip (a couple of them- and Birdie!!). I may continue to roll out more format like this. It takes a bit of doing….but it sure turns out hilarious!!! Will likely put more of this on his channel.

Honoring those who have made the ultimate sacrifice today.

Meteorologist Bo Cole @boknowsweather.com · 18/05/2026

After the first baby tornado yesterday it was trying to wrap up and drop another. But we didn’t happen to see anything else drop after this. Sped up to like 14x.

000

Meteorologist Bo Cole @boknowsweather.com · 18/05/2026

Miles and I saw a baby tornado today. Little ropey that near fizzled out by the time the sirens actually came on-just West of Fairmont, MN. We went thru the core of the cell as it was strengthening and then caught this right before it went Tornado warned. Beginning of clip is sped up to show spin.

042

Meteorologist Bo Cole @boknowsweather.com · 20/04/2026

A little brisk with the wind today- but the sun feels nice! Warming thru midweek and also watching some more storm chances as we get through the week and maybe even some more severe weather nearby.

000

Meteorologist Bo Cole @boknowsweather.com · 17/04/2026

STRONG cold front moving thru-upper 60s to low 70s & dewpoints 50s and 60s ahead of it. As well as severe storms-additional storm development (small hail possible) behind front with temps dropping by 20-30°-Headed for below freezing temps tonight-cover any plants if you started any early gardening!

010

Meteorologist Bo Cole @boknowsweather.com · 12/04/2026

Enhanced Risk of Severe for Monday- no matter which model you look at, all are looking pretty set that we will have severe storms, tornadoes (some strong) and large hail in the upper Midwest- particularly parts of MN- even MSP potentially. Stay tuned to updated forecasts.

030

Meteorologist Bo Cole @boknowsweather.com · 12/04/2026

An unusual severe weather focus area for today up North! (1st two images including tornado threat also). For tomorrow- things have potential to be even bigger for our area (next two images showing tornado threat as well).

Meteorologist Bo Cole @boknowsweather.com · 05/04/2026

Happy Easter everyone! -Hank and Birdie

Meteorologist Bo Cole @boknowsweather.com · 17/03/2026

If you can scoot home from work a bit early today- you may want to. We may have another round of snow after 3pm thru about 12am- just enough to make the roads tricky for the evening commute. Could be 1-2” or so. Latest trends are showing a bit less snow than they were yesterday.

011

Meteorologist Bo Cole @boknowsweather.com · 14/03/2026

Deploying the National Guard for a storm doesn’t happen every day!

041

Meteorologist Bo Cole @boknowsweather.com · 14/03/2026

Remember all- as of 8pm Friday- I declare that this is Science- not fact. The usual issues like a dry slot, warm air aloft, mixing, sharp cutoffs could be issues. Stay safe out there. Don't focus on the inches, focus on the impacts. Models are still variable-this is subject to change.

030

Meteorologist Bo Cole @boknowsweather.com · 13/03/2026

I remain skeptical at all of the latest model trends-but model agreements cannot be denied. IF this heavier core of snow moves through, it may be a really rough start to the week. A solid 6-12"+ is looking increasingly likely for MSP (60% chance)-possibly more for a narrow area (TBD on that area).

031

Meteorologist Bo Cole @boknowsweather.com · 12/03/2026

🚨 ⚠️ It is WINDY now as of 3pm. But this isn’t even the worst of it. Should get worse after 11pm. We could see tree damage and power outages as well as some rain/mix-even thunder- followed by a little snow into AM. Then- for the weekend- Winter Storm Watch. The odds of at least 6” are going up!

030

Meteorologist Bo Cole @boknowsweather.com · 11/03/2026

3rd Winter inbound. This is one model solution, but in addition to a couple of rain/snow/mix and even storm chances thru the next 48hrs-we have to closely watch the track of a larger weekend system, which the models have been playing a bit of back and forth with. Someone will get a lot of snow. TBD

010

Meteorologist Bo Cole @boknowsweather.com · 10/03/2026

Some snow/mix overnight tonight into early Tuesday-then some more activity TUE PM into WED which could give us 1-3” of snow. March looks to get active. Also eyeing down a bigger system for the weekend (potentially), which is far from locked in on timing/totals/track. TBD on that.

000

Meteorologist Bo Cole @boknowsweather.com · 08/03/2026

Don’t forget. We set our clocks ahead 1 hour before bed tonight-or if you’re a night owl-the official time to do it is 2am Sunday. Which means our sunsets will have gone from just before 6pm to just after 7pm in about a weeks time. Only downside is that it will temporarily be darker in the mornings.

000

Meteorologist Bo Cole @boknowsweather.com · 01/03/2026

To give myself a bit of credit- I don’t think anyone on earth- not even the models really nailed this system. Look at how narrow that band is! And how abrupt the gradients! People think forecasting is easy. But it’s really not.

010

Meteorologist Bo Cole @boknowsweather.com · 28/02/2026

Yes. I was wrong today. It does happen once in a while. Not often. But once in a while.

010

Meteorologist Bo Cole @boknowsweather.com · 27/02/2026

Alberta Clipper on deck. There is still some uncertainty with where the heaviest band sets up. High-res data has the core running through the I-94 corridor into the Metro, and some other data still has it a bit South. HRRR Loop here.

030

Meteorologist Bo Cole @boknowsweather.com · 27/02/2026

5pm- this is the HRRR Model- Earlier- my color legend that I selected was the wrong one, but this still illustrates the potential for the core of snow over us. Euro is slightly South, and GFS is slightly South, but all of the High-Res stuff suggests the heaviest is over the Metro. What will prevail?

020

Meteorologist Bo Cole @boknowsweather.com · 27/02/2026

Is this what the NWS office is like on days like today? 😂😎💪🏻

020

Meteorologist Bo Cole @boknowsweather.com · 27/02/2026

This is NOT my specific forecast, but this is what the HRRR model is suggesting. Yes- the legend is set up at a higher bracket based on the color conversion, but this would put the Metro in the 6-8" (Not 6-12") category. Either way, I think a safe play for the Metro is currently 3-6"- but let's see!

040

Meteorologist Bo Cole @boknowsweather.com · 27/02/2026

So some of you recall I was talking about launching a Roku and streaming channel and such for all streaming channels. It’s already been paid for but I’ve been struggling to line up the content!!…. But I’m thinking of a Podcast style setup of brief weather chats featuring my sidekick Hank.

000

Meteorologist Bo Cole @boknowsweather.com · 27/02/2026

The Saturday system is trending a bit further North on most models, which means MSP could be in the heavier core of snow. On the low end, 1-3" seems likely, but on the high end of the forecast range, some could be 4-8" territory-but MY current thoughts (9:45am) for the metro are 3-6"- stay tuned!

000

Meteorologist Bo Cole @boknowsweather.com · 27/02/2026

The Groundhog was clearly on to something.

010

Meteorologist Bo Cole @boknowsweather.com · 18/02/2026

This is a robust goal to say the least- BUT with some dynamic cooling and cooler air wrapping in- it may be enough for some surprises. With melting/compaction- we likely won’t measure these amounts on pavement but don’t be surprised if totals come in higher than current forecasts for MSP.

030

Meteorologist Bo Cole @boknowsweather.com · 17/02/2026

Quite the system heading in for the North Shore. Strong East Winds will lead to lake enhanced snow/Blizzard conditions with upwards of 12-24" of snow for some. The Metro may get a bit of snow on the backside of this system, and then again- watching late week for another system.

010

Meteorologist Bo Cole @boknowsweather.com · 13/02/2026

Areas in the brown/yellow where snow cover is almost non-existent will have likely no trouble hitting 55-60° this weekend. Just to the NE of that line- some lingering snow cover and clouds and fog couple keep temps 5-8 degrees colder (and more) to the North of course.

020

Meteorologist Bo Cole @boknowsweather.com · 13/02/2026

We are looking WARM! For now. Things look to change after about Wednesday next week and we could be entering a more active pattern. The CPC outlines a risk area 'Slight Risk' for Heavy Snow from 2/20-2/22 or so. This is a long time from now and plenty of time for things to change.

030

Meteorologist Bo Cole @boknowsweather.com · 04/02/2026

We will be on the fringe of some activity skirting by to our NE for the next 48hrs, as warmer air presses into the region. Clouds have returned. There is a slight risk of freezing fog overnight, as well as some freezing drizzle. As we warm up and melt things off this week, the risk will continue.

010

Meteorologist Bo Cole @boknowsweather.com · 02/02/2026

It’s official everyone!! 6 more weeks of winter! Hank saw his shadow!

010

Meteorologist Bo Cole @boknowsweather.com · 31/01/2026

Feels like it’s been forever since we have had a bit of snow. We may get a bit more on Sunday. This will be moving in along some warmer air and it may also set the stage for more clippers and snows for the next week to 10 days.

030

Meteorologist Bo Cole @boknowsweather.com · 23/01/2026

Already -20° at my house here and it’s not even midnight. Windchill is -46° - intense!!! Was supposed to bottom out at -21 tonight but we could get even colder than that. Coldest temps are usually around sunrise in these situations.

020

Meteorologist Bo Cole @boknowsweather.com · 22/01/2026

Next several hours look great. This is not including the wind chill which is already currently at -33° with an air temp of -9°. Looks like headed for a low around-21° with windchills around -45°.

030

Meteorologist Bo Cole @boknowsweather.com · 18/01/2026

More snow for Sunday! 1-3”—Then a brutal cold blast again for Monday (as if it wasn’t already cold enough right now). Cold Weather Advisory (9pm Sunday to Noon Monday) which may bring wind chills to -35° or so.
