We had a frost advisory on Saturday night into early Sunday morning for much of Greater Minnesota. Temperatures generally fell into the mid 30s across central and west central Minnesota. Some of the coldest air, however, was in southwestern Minnesota where it dropped to 32 degrees in Pipestone and 33 degrees in Slayton. More clouds…

I think many people across the state of Minnesota are still in disbelief about the weather that hit the state last Thursday. The National Weather says a “derecho” produced “at least six different tornadoes” in eastern North Dakota and western Minnesota last Thursday. One person was killed near Blomkest when a grain bin fell on…

So many people have been commenting to me this past week, that “we have gone from winter-like weather right into summer-like weather!” We have seen warmer temperatures and even some thunderstorms along the way across the state over the past week. These warmer temperatures and windy conditions have helped to dry things out a bit…

It was not one of those weekends to write home about as it was wet and chilly. Some locations picked up nearly 2.00 inches of rain. Rainfall amounts of .50 to 1.25 inches were very common throughout the state. All of this rain this spring, and the snow this past winter, has put the drought…

This weather pattern is getting old, isn’t it? Of course, we had one mild day on Saturday as temperatures climbed into the low- to mid-70s across much of the area. In southern Minnesota, temperatures were even warmer there on Saturday. It sure felt good to be able to put on a pair of shorts or…

It was an interesting Easter weekend across Minnesota as we had a snowy day for all of the travelers. There were reports of some accidents across the state due to the snow-covered roadways. Many people I know are sick of the clouds, cold temperatures, snow, and windy conditions. I am one of those too who…

Much of central, west central, and northern Minnesota saw temperatures into the upper 40s and low- to mid-50s on Sunday. Portions of southern and eastern Minnesota, however, even saw some 60s. Minneapolis hit 61 degrees, while Jackson, Windom, and Austin all topped out at 63 degrees. The warm spot around the state was Albert Lea…

Much of the region had some snow on Sunday as a low pressure system pushed across the state. It was pretty to see but I think many of us are done with this winter and want to see the warmer weather settle-in “for good,” or at least until next fall. I know some of our…

It was a chilly weekend across the state of Minnesota. Highs on Sunday were only in the 20s and 30s. We did see lots of sunshine which made up a bit for the lack of warmth. Some locations in Minnesota Sunday morning were below zero for overnight lows. Crane Lake dropped to a very cold…

It is wonderful to see some mild temperatures finally settling in across the state of Minnesota. We did see some light snow move in Sunday night into early Monday morning as a weak disturbance pushed across the region. Across parts of northern Minnesota into Wisconsin, one to three inches of snow fell. Everyone keeps asking…
