In the western portion of the country, winter storm Brutus is brewing.
With this storm there will be snow and wind on the cold side and a warm sector with potential sever weather.
Currently there is a strong low pressure system over the Rockies and a strong high pressure zone in Canada. These two coming together will create wind driven snow.
Montana is expected to get hit with the worst of it. There are already blizzard warnings going through Saturday. Parts of Montana and North Dakota are expected to get over a foot of snow.
Into the weekend, the storm will move into the Plains and Midwestern states. As it does this it will come in contact with warm air coming from the Gulf of Mexico. The cold front going into the warm air will create a lot of energy in the upper atmosphere. This then has the potential for severe thunderstorms stretching from Minneapolis to Dallas.
This storm is something to keep an eye on because it could be affecting us here in Wisconsin. We could be receiving some thunderstorms with damaging winds.
