Monday Evening Northland Forecast: 9/9/2024

Another Nice Night
Karl Spring,

I enjoy the predictability of forecasting when the dominant feature is high pressure. It’s easy. It’s consistent. And usually, it makes my forecasts verify, meaning they come true! We will enjoy a huge area of high pressure the whole rest of this work week. I hope you enjoy it! Look for sunny days, clear nights, with some morning fog. We…

Monday Morning Northland Forecast: 9/9/2024

A Warm and Sunny Week!
Karl Spring,

When a high pressure ridge stretching from coast to coast and border to border gets comfortable, it’s pretty tough to nudge it along. That’s exactly what we have right now, and that means a whole week of sunshine, light winds, and warm temps. I hope you aren’t sick of summer, yet! Our normal high and low for today is 70…

Frost and Freeze Alerts
Karl Spring,

We have some crazy temperature swings in the Northland. A week ago Monday, we hit 90 degrees. Next week, we will be up around 80 degrees for four days in a row. But tonight, we have a Frost Advisory for the whole viewing area, and a Freeze Warning for the northern 2/3 of both Lake and Cook counties. My goodness,…

Frost Advisory Forecast
Karl Spring,

The weather is rarely boring up here in the Northland. A week ago Monday, we had a near-record high temp of 90 degrees. Next week, we will have highs near 80 all week. But, tomorrow morning, we have a Frost Advisory for pretty much the whole TV viewing area. It is actually in effect from 11pm tonight til 8am Saturday…

A Gray Thursday
Karl Spring,

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…

Cooler Temps Are on the Way!
Karl Spring,

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…

It's Still Summer!
Karl Spring,

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….

A Perfect Labor Day!
Karl Spring,

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…

A Sunny Labor Day Weekend
Karl Spring,

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…

A Stormy Thursday
Karl Spring,

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…

A Cool & Breezy Day
Karl Spring,

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…

A Much Cooler Day!
Karl Spring,

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…

Hottest & Muggiest Day of the Week!
Karl Spring,

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…

The Last Full Weekend of August
Karl Spring,

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…

Getting Ready for a Great Summer Weekend!
Karl Spring,

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…

Is There More Rain Headed Our Way?
Karl Spring,

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…

Rain Today Means More Sun on Friday
Karl Spring,

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…

Sunny Today, Then Rain On The Way?
Karl Spring,

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…
