Thursday Morning Northland Forecast: 10/31/2024

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…

Rain, Snow and Wind on the Way
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…

Sunny Weekend
Karl Spring,

While we didn’t get a ton of rain in the last 24 hours, we did pick up .16″.  And when you’re down 4″ from average for the year, you’ll take whatever you can get. The combination of getting that rain, and cooler temperatures does a great job of reducing the fire danger in the area. It was just last week…

More Rain Tonight!
Karl Spring,

Since we are 4 inches below normal precipitation, I am pleased to see rain, snow, sleet or hail in any amount! While we have yet to see the fluffy, white stuff yet (except in Finland, MN), we will all watch for a very good chance for rain to fall after dinner time tonight. The models are indicating the best chance…

Wednesday Morning Northland Forecast: 10/23/2024

A Very Average Fall Day
Karl Spring,

We have gotten so used to above average high temps, that when we finally have a ‘normal’ day, it feels really chilly! For instance, our high temps so far this week have been 70 and 69. Those weren’t record temps, but they were both well above average. Today, our high will be about 49 degrees, which is exactly average for…

Last Warm Day
Karl Spring,

The average high temp for today is 50 degrees. We enjoyed a high of 70 yesterday, with abundant sunshine. We will still be warm again today, with a high of 69, but it will be mostly cloudy, with chances for rain both this morning and this afternoon. With mostly cloudy skies, it will also be a blustery day, with SW…

Waiting For Rain
Karl Spring,

I have been following a large area of rain in the Dakotas since 4:30am this morning. We are almost 4″ below where we should be for rainfall for the year in Duluth, and I want some of that rain to find it’s way to the Twin Ports, right now. The rain crossed into Minnesota this morning. It rained in Bemidji….

There's Rain Out West
Karl Spring,

I’m watching North Dakota. I see rain out there, and I want it to come here….today. As you may recall, we have been very dry for the last three months. We are about 3.5″ short of where we should be for rainfall for the year. Yesterday, we had a Red Flag Warning across most of Minnesota, for fire danger, because…

Too Warm and Too Dry
Karl Spring,

The whole area is under a Red Flag Warning from Noon til 7pm today. That is because it is very dry and will be very warm and windy, and as a result, the Fire Danger is high in the entire viewing area this afternoon and early evening. The next chance for rain is Saturday, and even that is only a…

Warmer & Windy Wednesday
Karl Spring,

After two cool mornings to start this workweek, now it’s time to warm things up a bit. About 3/4 of the country is under the influence of high pressure, including the upper midwest. We will see strong winds out of the south and southwest for the next three days, gusting to 25-30mph. The combination of sunshine and strong winds from…

Another Chilly Morning
Karl Spring,

We are getting a taste of fall these last couple days. Lots of area towns are starting their days with temps in the 20s, and it finally feels like summer is actually over. It was quite windy most of yesterday, which put a chill in the air, but today, the winds will be much lighter, as high pressure has settled…

Feels Like Autumn
Karl Spring,

It felt cool leaving the house at 4:20 this morning. 34 degrees to be precise. And, tomorrow morning, it will be even cooler, at about 28 degrees. It definitely feels more like Fall now. And yesterday, Finland, MN had some light snow. Enough to at least cover some of the grass. That’s the first snow I’ve seen in Minnesota, so…

A More Seasonal Week
Karl Spring,

It seems like it’s been above normal temps, and below normal precip for the last three months. Going into this weekend, we were 3.31″ below normal precipitation for the year. Nothing we couldn’t make up with three days of heavy rain. But, that’s not the preferred way to do it. At least we took a little bite out of that…

A Cool & Wet Weekend
Karl Spring,

Yesterday was magnificent, as it was sunny and 75 degrees. Not bad for October 10th. But, we did pretty well today, too, with more sunshine and a high of 66. Keep in mind, the average high for today is only 55. While we aren’t close to any records (temps in the 80s), it could be a lot colder in the…
