Introduction

The Colletti Weather Office (YouTube handle: @MidwestMeteorology) is an independent, privately operated weather channel on YouTube, founded on May 10, 2025 by Jonathan Colletti. The channel focuses primarily on weather forecasting and meteorological analysis for a tri-state region in the central United States, covering Illinois, Iowa, and Wisconsin. Its coverage area aligns with the National Weather Service (NWS) forecast offices in Chicago, Milwaukee, and Davenport.

The channel targets viewers interested in detailed regional weather forecasts and weather education for the Upper Midwest corridor, and is operated entirely by Colletti as a private, passion-driven project.

Background

The Colletti Weather Office was established on May 10, 2025, with the publication of its first video on YouTube. It was created as a privately run, passion-driven meteorology project with no institutional affiliation. The channel's mission is to provide accessible, locally relevant weather information to residents of the Illinois–Iowa–Wisconsin tri-state area.

Operating independently, the Colletti Weather Office is not associated with any government agency, university, or broadcast network.

Founder

Jonathan Colletti is the founder and sole operator of the Colletti Weather Office. He created the channel in May 2025 as an independent platform for regional Midwest weather coverage. Colletti manages all aspects of the channel, including forecasting, video production, and publishing, under the YouTube handle @MidwestMeteorology.

Coverage area

The channel's geographic scope covers three U.S. states: Illinois, Iowa, and Wisconsin. This region encompasses a wide variety of terrain and climatological zones, ranging from the flat agricultural plains of central Illinois and Iowa to the lake-effect zones near Lake Michigan in northeastern Illinois and eastern Wisconsin.

Content

The Colletti Weather Office produces content primarily centered on weather forecasting, with supplementary material focused on weather education and meteorological analysis. Forecast content covers short- and medium-range outlooks for the tri-state region, often incorporating radar interpretation, model analysis, and discussion of synoptic-scale weather patterns.

National Weather Service alignment

The channel's coverage area corresponds to the areas of responsibility of three NWS Weather Forecast Offices (WFOs):

NWS Chicago (KLOT) — serving northeastern Illinois and portions of northwestern Indiana.
NWS Milwaukee (KMKX) — serving much of Southeastern Wisconsin, including the greater Milwaukee metropolitan area, Madison, and the Wisconsin Dells.
NWS Davenport (KDVN) — serving eastern Iowa, northwestern Illinois, and portions of far southwest Wisconsin.
