On the anniversary of The Storm of the Century we've got a doppelganger crossi.ng the Midwest tonight. 60-80mph wind gusts accompany heavy snow to bring the biggest blizzard of the season for the country. This one will probably go down in history as one of the lowest pressure inland storms in US history.

Usually I don't cover much weather outside of the Ohio Valley area, but this storm will have an affect on us soon. Here's a look at the SPC's severe weather outlook for tomorrow:

Today's low pressure bomb has hit its max strength and will now head northeast toward the Great Lakes region. While areas like Minnesota will see the wintry side of this storm, we're in the warm sector, which means we will get the severe side also.

This will be a high shear, low cape event.

Tomorrow will be the first day since last October we will be in the 70s. With warm temps and the possibility of clouds breaking up ahead of the front, we could actually be looking at a potent early season storm. If we have enough sun before the front, that may give us enough instability to pair up with the shear.

On top of everything else, we have yet another Wind Advisory for tomorrow. This one is a little different than the last couple wind events because storms will actually accompany the wind. That means any storms will bring even higher winds than normal.

The NAM shows possible wind gusts for tomorrow night:

I think tomorrow could be a very eventful day. I'll be posting on Twitter and possibly going with a LiveBlog tomorrow evening as the storm approaches.
