Friday Evening Northland Forecast: 9/13/2024

Foggy Friday Night
Karl Spring,

This has been an easy week to forecast the weather, and a terrific week to enjoy it! We had partly to mostly sunny skies each day, with above normal temps, both at night, and in the afternoons. Today has been a little more grey, as strong winds off the lake have helped to produce thick fog all day, and this…

Foggy Friday
Karl Spring,

What has been a fantastic weather week is definitely ending with kind of a thud. East winds off Lake Superior have helped to produce thick fog near the lake, and even thicker fog up over the hill. With cloud cover holding things in place, it looks like it’s going to be a Foggy Friday for a few hours. Winds and…

Thursday Evening Northland Forecast: 9/12/2024

Fantastic Friday
Karl Spring,

Every day this week has been a meteorological treat! It’s been partly to mostly sunny all week long, with above normal temps in the 70s and 80s. And, as a bonus, for most of the week, the dew points have been very comfortable, too. It would be hard to plan a week more perfect than this has been. Now that…

Wednesday Morning Northland Forecast: 9/11/2024

Another Great September Day
Karl Spring,

This has been the easiest week to forecast! With high pressure basically dominating the middle part of the country, each day has been incredibly similar to both the day before it, and the day after it. We call that Persistence Forecasting, where conditions basically stay the same, until something dramatic moves in, to shake things up. So, our stretch of…

Tuesday Evening Northland Forecast: 9/10/2024

Warm Week Continues
Karl Spring,

It is rare to get a week of weather that is so consistent as this one. Especially when it’s a week of so consistently fantastic weather! Maybe it’s the swan song of this nice summer, or it’s just a meteorological fluke. Either way, it’s been a lovely week so far, and it looks like it’s going to on for several…

Our Summery Week Continues
Karl Spring,

In most areas of life, high pressure is not a good thing. But in the world of weather, it’s often nice to have it around for a while! In our case, a big area of high pressure is continuing to provide us with sunny skies, light winds, and warm temperatures. Not much to complain about there. It won’t last forever,…

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…

Friday Evening Northland Forecast: 9/6/2024

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…

Thursday Morning Northland Forecast: 9/5/2024

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…
