I don’t mind a gray, overcast sky once in a while. In fact, I actually welcome it. I find it to be easier on the eyes. Blue skies and sunshine are generally considered to be more picturesque, but not having to squint from the sun in your eyes is okay, too. And, that is exactly what we have today. The…

Last Monday, we had a high of 90 degrees. Today, we are shooting for a high of 80. By Friday, we are expecting a high of 62. Yikes! What’s going on here? We are still officially in summer, at least for 17 more days. But fall is knocking on the door, and as the jetstream begins its southerly trek, we…

When summer begins to end, it seems like it does it so quickly! We turn the calendar page from August to September. The kids all head back to school. The NFL season begins this weekend. And, we can sure tell the days are getting shorter. There is no stopping it. Autumn is approaching, fast! But, it’s not here just yet….

If I were writing a movie script about the most perfect holiday weather forecast imaginable, I could not think of a day any different from today in the Northland. We have the best weather in the nation, right here, right now. I hope everybody appreciates it! A week ago today, it was 90 degrees here, with dewpoints in the mid…

There was quite a build up for severe storm potential yesterday. But all we got out of it in Duluth was a little bit of thunder and lightning, and a grand total of .15″ of rain. Underwhelming, to say the least. But as I mentioned yesterday, the positive side of that is we got the inclement weather out of the…

This weekend, we close in on the end of August, the last weekend of the Minnesota State Fair, and Labor Day. All we want is some decent weather to celebrate all three. Can we get it? That’s the all-important question. And, it seems the answer is yes! But first, we need to get through a Thursday that seems a little…

We are going to have a little bit of everything this week, weatherwise. Monday brought us a high of 90, with dewpoints in the 70s. Tuesday was cooler and rainy, with more than .60″ of rain. Today is the in-between day with some sunshine and temps in the 60s. And in a few days, we’ll have some low temps in…

It’s hard to believe we topped out at 90 degrees in Duluth yesterday! By Friday, that will seem like a very distant memory. The record high temp for Monday is 93, set in 1937. So, we didn’t miss that by much. The average high for Monday is 74 degrees, so we were way above that. And the dew points were…

It’s the last Monday of August. It may also be one of the steamiest days remaining in calendar year 2024 in the Northland. Anytime you have a high temp in the mid 80s along with dewpoints in the low 70s, “Uff Da,” it’s a hot one! Today will also be the hottest day of the week, as it’s all cooler…

September is coming fast, now! The last day of August is a week from tomorrow. A week from Sunday is September 1st. Boy, almost puts you in the Christmas spirit, eh? But, lets not let summer get away too quickly. We still have almost a month to go til Fall arrives. So, lets really enjoy this last full weekend of…
The rain last night was pretty unimpressive. In Duluth, officially we got .10″ of rain. I’m happy for the rain we did get, but a half inch would have been preferable. But, now we will move on to the next chapter in our continuing weather story! We start this Friday with cloudy skies and light SW winds. It will stay…

Early this morning, there was an impressive cluster of showers and thunderstorms rumbling across the western border of Minnesota, courtesy of North and South Dakota. As I said on our morning show, if those storms stay together, we could get some impressive rainfall amounts in the Twin Ports later in the day. But, I also mentioned that they had a…
Timing is everything in weather. If we can get some rain on Thursday, then get high pressure back in time for the weekend, that pretty much makes everyone happy. Yes, unless you are pouring concrete or roofing today. I get it. But, the weekend will be great for everyone, if we get the rain out of the way today! We…

The days area getting shorter. The average daytime high temp is getting lower. And the Minnesota State Fair starts tomorrow. Those are all sure signs that fall is approaching. There is no way around it. But it will still feel quite summer-like for the next several days, so let’s enjoy it! High pressure will again bring us more sunshine than…

It’s hard to complain about a week in August that is full of sunny days with highs in the 70s. So, I’m just going to enjoy it, and say, “Thanks!” The high pressure situated over us will continue to bring us sunshine, light winds, and perfect temperatures. The average high for today is 76. While we will be a tad…
With the exception of the Air Quality Alert til noon today (thanks to fires in Canada), this will be a perfect late August week of weather! The average high and low for today is 76 and 55, and that is almost exactly where we will be for the next 5 days. We are a little above normal in rainfall, for…
To start the weekend, we will have both an Air Quality Alert (smoke from Canada) and a Dense Fog Advisory in effect Saturday morning. But, the weekend will definitely improve from there. There is also a 30% chance for light rain Saturday morning, but I didn’t want to pile on! The stubborn low pressure system that’s been bugging us since…

I thought it was great that we got 1.25″ of rain on Thursday! That was much appreciated by my dry, dusty lawn that I mowed on Wednesday. We had been pretty dry for about two weeks, so the moisture was quite welcome. But now, it’s time for the weekend, and with half of August in the rearview mirror, we need…

After four straight days of sunshine and August warmth, it’s time to green up the Northland with an inch or so of much needed moisture. And, why not? Most of us are at work for the next two days, and as long as the weekend weather looks great (which it does!), bring on some rain to help the grass, flowers…

All good things must come to an end…for awhile. Today is our 4th consecutive day of sunshine and warmth. And, it will also be our last, until the weekend. We have been living under a massive high pressure area since Sunday. Now, two low pressure systems are rolling out of the plains states, and heading to the Northland. A couple…
You might call these the ‘dog days’ of summer. It’s sunny and warm, a little humid, and with light winds to take the edge off. But, that sounds a little negative. I think these are the most perfect days of the whole summer! In a few months, we will be longing for days like this, when we didn’t have to…

We had a hot end to July and a cooler than normal start to August. This week, as we head into the middle of the month, it’s a return to typical summer heat. The average high for today is 77 degrees. And that is right about where we will be for the next three days. A large, strong area of…

The average high for this time of year is 77 degrees. We haven’t seen a day that warm since last week! After a couple more cool and breezy days, we will finally get back up to seasonal temperatures starting with the second half of the coming weekend. A low pressure system stalled over the eastern Great Lakes region will keep…

We went a couple weeks with above average temps and sweaty dewpoints. Now, we’re going thru a few days of well below normal high temps. The average high for today is 77 degrees. We won’t see that til next week. It’s hard to find that “Goldilocks weather,” where everything is just right! We are about to come under the influence…
