    It's going to be a windy week for most of the midwest and upper midwest. A strong low pressure system could wreak havoc on some parts up North. Shouldn't be many leaves left on the trees by Halloween.

    I'm hunting south east mo, and there's no shortage of white oaks and acorns where I'm at. The persimmon trees on the property still look pretty good (but they're not in the greatest spots for deer stands). Looks like we're getting some rain tonight. I sure hope that wind is reasonable this week. I was planning on starting my all day sits.

    Man.... the weather keeps looking more and more grim. Now there are 30-40mph gusts with steady winds 15-25mph for the first three days of the week.. Oh how my life is sucking right now >.>

    Now they are calling for some pretty significant severe weather for eastern Iowa and Missouri and most of Illinois, with West central and northwestern Illinois possibly getting the brunt of it. Should happen after hunters are out of the woods, but anyone in these areas should check the forecast if heading out this evening. Could get pretty bad really fast.

    Looks like it's going to hit Southern Michigan, Indiana and Ohio pretty hard tomorrow as well.

    Going to have widespread 70mph + winds with a full day of 30mph winds and stronger gusts behind it, unfortunately it's looking like a lot more than just leaves may come down from eastern Iowa/Missouri all the through Ohio over the next 2-3 days. Stay safe everyone.

    I know I've said it a few times but it bares repeating, Eastern Missouri and now most all of Illinois has been placed in a moderate risk for severe winds and isolated tornadoes for the early morning hours. Night time storms are dangerous enough, but most people will not be aware of this current system as Fall is not normally associated with severe weather.

    Just heard on the news that this could be the worst storm in 70 years to hit the Chicagoland area.

    It has definitely got the potential to be a very bad situation. Here is a link to the SPC site if anyone wants to look at the risk areas. Tomorrow it will move through Indiand, Ohio and parts of Southern Michigan. I just want to do what I can to inform people
