While November is usually the beginning of the holiday season, it's also when the weather in Illinois officially starts to feel closer to winter than fall.

Minnesota was one of many Midwestern states that saw violate weather on Memorial Day. Temperatures in Minnesota were in the upper 60s to low 70s which rarely triggers severe storms. Weather Eye Meterologist Cara Foster says the reason why Minnesota saw storms was the shifting of the jet stream which caused a shifting of precipitation.

It was a sight you don't often see at this small Minnesota airport: seven massive jets lining the runway.

These puffy clouds often happen during strong storms.

There have been very few weather days quite like what transpired on March 31, 2023. Among the more than 100 confirmed tornadoes was a monster wedge in Keota, Iowa that storm chasers got up-close-and-personal with.

If you live in Illinois or Missouri long enough, you will see a tornado eventually. That being said I highly doubt you've seen a twister that seemed to give birth to a rainbow like one did in Illinois this week.

Talk about a near miss. A new video share from Joliet, Illinois appears to show a tornado barely miss a home, but still cause big damage.

When life deals you lemons, make lemonade. That's a great reminder when a winter storm cruises through your area and you're left with a ton of snow. One Midwest pet owner made lemonade (so to speak) by creating a sweet snow run for his dog.

We hope everyone is staying safe after last night's historic storms.

Be alert tonight with the possible storms heading our direction.
