Friday Evening Northland Forecast: 12/13/2024

A Messy Weekend
Karl Spring,

The bitter cold arctic blast we had a couple days ago is gone. So are the fierce northwest winds that felt like icy knives. Wednesday and Thursday were pretty rough this week. Now we transition into a different situation….a Winter Weather Advisory in effect from 4pm Saturday to 3pm Sunday. Not so much for snow, but for freezing precipitation that…

One More Frigid Night
Karl Spring,

We have been enjoying mid-January cold temperatures the last few days, and it’s not quite mid-December yet. In fact, the normal high and low temp for today is 26 and 11. We had a high of -3, and a low of -18. Yikes! The record low maximum for today is -5 (set in 1922). We only missed it by 2…

A Mild Weekend Coming
Karl Spring,

We have had a little bit of everything in the last week. Some light snow. A little light mist/rain in the air (in Lakeside). Some chilly, arctic air, and some VERY strong winds on Wednesday. If you’ve lived in the Twin Ports for a few years, you know the weather up here is never dull! The winter solstice is 2…

A Cold, Snowy and Windy Week
Karl Spring,

Today (Sunday) is December 1st. Did you change your calendar yet? We continue to have January temperatures about a month early. The normal high and low for today is 30 and 15. We had 19 and 6. So, yes! It was a cold day! The colder than average temps are here early, but the snowfall continues to lag behind what…

A Chilly Weekend!
Karl Spring,

Do you know what the average high and low for today is? That would be 31 and 16. We had a high and low temp of 17 and 10. So, what’s the deal? We are having January temps in late November. And, that is how you get average or normal temps. We had above normal temps for much of late…

Mild Weekend Forecast
Karl Spring,

The average high and low temp for today is 34 and 19. All this weekend, we will be above those temps. But, starting on Monday, we will be below those numbers for the whole week. We are turning another page, as we head toward winter (which is still 29 days away). One good thing about November, so far, is that…

A Windy Weekend
Karl Spring,

We have been quite fortunate to have had the mild autumn we’ve enjoyed so far. While we haven’t had record warmth, it has been a handful of degrees above average almost every day, since fall started, back in September. It’s only snowed once in the Twin Ports, so far. So we’ve really had it easy. That may be about to…

Thursday Morning Northland Forecast: 11/14/2024

Cloudy Thursday
Karl Spring,

We all know how dry it’s been in the Northland this year. We continue to be more than 4″ below where we should be, precipitation wise. But, we did get .11″ of rain late last night. And, every little bit helps. Now, the area of rain has moved off to the east, and we are left with a mostly cloudy,…

A Little Rain Possible
Karl Spring,

Yes, we can use the rain. We continue to have a more than 4″ deficit in the rain barrel for the year, so any contribution, in whatever form, is welcomed. While we might get a little bit of rain later today, it won’t be too impressive. The probability of rain today has been decreasing for the last two days. What…

Windy Tuesday
Karl Spring,

Yesterday, the winds were quite strong out of the NW. I remember, as the wind about took the door off my car when I opened it at a parking lot in Hermantown (where it’s always windy!). Today, it will be very breezy again, but from a different direction. As the next low pressure system heads this way from the Rockies,…

Karl Spring,

Today is Veteran’s Day. Please tell any veteran you see, “Thank you!.” It will be partly cloudy this morning, becoming mostly sunny in the afternoon. It will be quite windy this morning, with north winds 20-30mph, decreasing to 5-10mph late this afternoon. The average high for today is 39 degrees, and we will hit a high about 40. Tonight will…

Friday Night Weather
Karl Spring,

Weather at this latitude often tends to go in 7-day cycles. Do you remember the last two weekends? They were both a combination of a little sun, a little cloudiness, and a little rain. And this weekend, for the third in a row, that’s exactly what we’re going to have. Tomorrow will start out dry, with at least partly sunny…

Here Comes the Weekend
Karl Spring,

The average high temp for today is 41 degrees. We will be above normal for high and low temps for at least the next six days. Not by a lot. Nowhere near record territory, but enough above average to make any precipitation we get rain, and not snow. There are two low pressure systems headed our way. One from the…

Sunshine Returns
Karl Spring,

After two very grey days with some much needed rain, it’s finally time for sunshine to reappear! We got measurable rainfall both Monday and Tuesday, and after some morning fog, we are going to have mostly sunny skies from Wednesday through most of Saturday. The next chance for rain will be late on Saturday, and for most of the day…

Election Day Forecast
Karl Spring,

The weather will not be a negative factor for Election Day today. At least, not in the Northland. There are numerous showers and thunderstorms rumbling from east Texas to St. Louis to Chicago. But here in the Northland, we will be just fine, except for the chance of a little rain this afternoon. We had .20″ of rain in Duluth…

Foggy Monday Forecast
Karl Spring,

We start this week back on Central Standard Time. So, that’s one change we have to factor into our Monday morning. And, on top of that, we also have a Dense Fog Advisory in effect til 10am today. As if Mondays weren’t enough of a challenge. A low pressure system in southern Minnesota is moving north this morning, bringing a…

A Half and Half Weekend
Karl Spring,

As we head into this first weekend of November 2024, we are still -4.10″ on the total precipitation for the year. At this point, it doesn’t matter if we make up that deficit with rain or snow. Either will do just fine. It looks like two systems coming through, on Sunday and Monday, will at least make a dent in…

Here's November!
Karl Spring,

And here we go. Not only are we well into autumn, but the first day of winter is only 7 weeks away. It’s November 1st, and tomorrow night, we set our clocks back an hour, meaning it will get dark really early Sunday afternoon. We had our first measurable snowfall yesterday (about 1.6″ in Duluth), and our daily temperatures are…

Not So Scary Halloween Forecast
Karl Spring,

Yesterday, the National Weather Service issued a Winter Storm Watch for today. That has now been downgraded to a Winter Weather Advisory, as the weather will not be as frightening today as they had initially suspected. There is a low pressure system over northeast Iowa, with a long cold front extending all the way down into southern Texas. In advance…

Winter Storm Watch Tomorrow
Karl Spring,

Being a fan of Halloween, I was hoping the kids would have a good night, weather-wise, for trick-or-treating tomorrow. Well, that’s not going to happen. A Winter Storm Watch for the area will be in effect from 7am to 4pm on Thursday afternoon, for rain turning to snow, accumulating around 2″-4″. Some areas, mainly up the north shore could see…

Karl Spring,

If you are tired of the sun being in your eyes all the time, you will love the next few days! Today will still be mild, with highs in the low 60s, under mostly cloudy skies. The average high for today is 46. The record high for today is 74. We will have mostly cloudy skies, with east winds off…

Warm, Then Wet Weather
Karl Spring,

As of today, we are 4.32″ below where we should be for precipitation for the year. That is about to change. While we won’t see any rain (or snow) today, we will probably see some form of precipitation on Tuesday, Wednesday and even Thursday. While we won’t get 4.32″ of moisture over that three day period, we will at least…

A Sunny Weekend
Karl Spring,

This will be the first Saturday in the last three that we haven’t had rain to contend with. Since we are 4″ below where we should be for the year, I am all for getting as much precipitation as we can. However, if possible, I would like to have the rain fall during the week, so the weekends will stay…
