Sunny Friday Forecast

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

A week ago today, we had low temps in the 30s and 20s. It felt quite fall-like. Then we warmed into the 70s by yesterday. This week will go the other way, as we will have a high near 70 today, and by Wednesday, we will cool down to 46 degrees for a high. One way or another, as we…
