Thursday Morning Northland Forecast: 10/24/2024

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…

Cooler With A Chance For Rain
Karl Spring,

While it’s hard to complain about the fantastic summer and fall we’ve had this year, we could really use a good day or two of rain. We are more than 3″ below average for the year, and we’ve had a really dry August, September and October. Fortunately, we might just get a little precipitation this weekend. And, it’s still in…

Cooler Temps Are on the Way!
Karl Spring,

It was fun to feel one more day of summertime temps today! Duluth hit 73 degrees, Minneapolis came in at 79, and in west-central Minnesota, Alexandria topped out at 82 degrees! And, that’s going to be about the end of that! A cold front is plowing over the state overnight, and that will take our temps down significantly for Friday,…

If you like the weather today, you will be thrilled with the entire week that’s on the way! While folks in Florida prepare for the onslaught of Hurricane Milton, here in the Northland, we can get ready for 7 days in a row of sunshine, mild temps and reasonable winds. And, that is just one of many reasons I’d rather…
