We&#8217;ve talked about this being a spot to watch for over the past few weeks and it looks like that thought process was right.

Why? Well, we have a tropical system in the Gulf with the 540 thickness line into northern Minnesota. I honestly cannot think of another time in summer when I have seen a model forecast the 540 line that far south. I&#8217;m not saying it hasn&#8217;t happened, I just don&#8217;t recall seeing such a thing. That&#8217;s a lot of cold air coming south our of Canada!<\/p>\n<p>I will update things as needed later today.
