What?? A bright ball of fire in the sky LOL. Yes the sun made it's appearance. Nice day. Biker club just went by my place. Loud ass Harleys

Another foggy morning. Just a spit of rain yesterday. The Sun has been MIA for a few days with fog (some drizzle), and overcast. Dreary wx.

Foggy morning, with a batch of shwrs/stms moving across N MN. Might see something later.

With the narrative the way it is, you'd never know there where plenty of hot summers in the past. It's shameful the way stuff gets portrayed sometimes, but an agenda will do that to people, instead of appreciating wx, and its cycles.

Early data for Aug showing an avg month. A warmer summer again driven by the warmth of June, and July. 5 & 10 yr trend charts shown respectively.

An overcast, drizzly morning. Blah wx today.

1.42" of rain from stms last night. Much needed. 2.03" for the month (avg 3.53") so a good start.

Hibbing was at 29 yesterday morning for a 1st place tie with 2018. 30 this morning. Back to more seasonable wx this week. Saw this in the records from Grand Forks. RECORD EVENT REPORTNATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAND FORKS300 AM CDT FRI SEP 5 2025...RECORD LOW MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE SET AT THE GRAND FORKS UNIVERSITY/NWS CLIMATE STATION FOR THURSDAY SEPT 4TH...THE HIGH TEMPERATURE ON THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 4TH AT THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN GRAND FORKS WAS 48 DEGREES. THIS SETS A RECORD FOR THE COLDEST HIGH TEMPERATURE RECORDED FOR THIS DATE. PREVIOUS RECORD LOW MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE WAS 55 IN 1956. LOOKING AT RECORD DATA BASE FOR THE CITY OF GRAND FORKS (1893 TO PRESENT), THIS IS ALSO THE EARLIEST DATE WHEN THE HIGH TEMPERATURE WAS BELOW 50 DEGREES WHEN LOOKING AT THE FALL MONTHS OF SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER. THE PREVIOUS EARLIEST HIGH TEMPERATURE BELOW 50 DEGREES WAS SEPTEMBER 12 1961 WHEN THE HIGH TEMPERATURE WAS 49. THE RECORD DATABASE SHOWS THE AVERAGE DATE OF THE FIRST BELOW 50 DEGREE HIGH IN THE FALL IS OCTOBER 3RD. THIS IS USING THE RECORD DATABASE FROM 1893 TO CURRENT.

Chilly day yesterday. Record low max temps across a large portion of the N areas of the sub. Seems a certain someone isn't interested in these types of records. Usually he's on the warm ones before anyone can blink. Doesn't fit the narrative I guess. Heater has been kicking on from time to time this week. 0.59" of rain so far this month too. Nice start for that, and hope to see more.

Low max temp records will probably fall today up my way. A cursory check shows records in the low-mid 50's from 1926.

Back in the mid 90's, I was working at a sawmill, and we had flakes flying here in TH during the last week of Sept. That also heralded a rather cold winter. Not saying this would portend that, but definitely a cold start to Fall. Quote from DLH forecast discussion: The second cold front will bring a slightly more organized and persistent area of rain showers southeastward through the Northland today. Additional showers are likely behind that front as well this afternoon into tonight. As temperatures fall overnight, showers may become a mix of rain and snow. A thin coating of snow may survive through sunrise before melting shortly thereafter. Frost is possible overnight into Thursday morning, though clear skies and calm winds would likely be required.

Having colder wx to start off Sept really is refreshing. Bound to happen tho. Years of hot starts don't last forever. The beauty of weather, and it's cycles.

Scattered shwer/stms along the lake last night, and this morning (lake enhanced with trough hanging over the lake). Nice to get a few drops of rain in to end the month. 0.25" ends the month with 1.17" (3.48" avg). Max 73.3 (74 avg). Min 58.1 (56 avg). 7am readings will put min avg up to 58.8 with max about the same. Similar to July with cooler max, and warmer min.

This year I'll end 2025 at Christmas, and start 2026 with the New Years eve/day forecast. Christmas period needs to be watched with energy from the W, and S possibly affecting us. This was a harder one to decipher, so less sure how this pans. Could be good, or a nothing burger. For the sake of Christmas travelling, a nothing burger would be best, or at least wait until after to slam if it comes to that.

Pearl Harbor Day looking fair, and cold with HP over the sub. LES events during this time.

Thanksgiving looks pretty decent overall with HP over the region (a little on the chilly side). LES, along with possible energy affecting the southern most parts of the sub.

Going to end the year with these last 4 Holiday forecasts. Veteran's Day could be quite active with possible storm. Issued a stm watch for that time period.

Good call for this forecast. Enjoy your holiday weekend.

Another chilly a.m. with Duluth 40 (t3rd), Hibbing 36 (4th), I-Falls 39 (t6th). Significantly cool air mass for this time of year to be sure. Scattered shwrs/stms cast for tomorrow, so hope to get under some of that. Other than that, pretty seasonable wx overall to end the month after the front blows thru as avg temps start their Fall slide. Upper 60's-low 70's with upper 40's-low 50's. Inland areas may get a little cooler with radiational cooling. A very nice Labor Day weekend on tap. Looks like my Holiday forecast will be pretty good.

Chilly day yesterday. Low max temps; I-Falls 62 (8th), Hibbing 57 (3rd), Duluth 57 (t3rd), Brainerd 65 (t6th), Ashland, WI 60 (t2nd). This morning's lows I-Falls 36 (5th), Hibbing 36 (3rd), Duluth 43 (t4th), Brainerd 44 (t7th).

It depends on whether starting the cooler wx this early, and we see more of it thru Sept. Then it will. Recent years have seen some pretty large LES dumps due to very warm waters going into the winter season. Waters do cool pretty quickly if colder air stays around long enough. Hope that's the case this year. Better to have manageable LES events than up to your roof in one event.

Looks like top 5 cool mornings on tap tomorrow, and Tues. Frost adv issued. Possible with low max temps, as well, today, and tomorrow.

After a dry Aug in my neck of the woods, hoping for more precip starting in Sept. To me, it looks like a roller coaster pattern early, and later in Sept, with mid month sporting some very cool wx. Need the rain tho so as not to fall to far behind. Did well in July with it being the 8th wettest here in TH bringing YTD to near avg at the end of that month.

^Much nicer without any smoke. I swear, this year was one of the worst for that. More AQ alerts as the smoke was near surface many more days than the past few years. Probably because the fires were mainly concentrated in SC CAN than being more in the W CAN areas. With more distance, the smoke was more aloft then.

0.35" from a stm that moved through last night bringing the monthly total to 0.91" which is well below normal. Today feels like late Sept wx moved in on a NW wind. Highs in the 60's(maybe low 70's) with 30's/40's for lows the next few days. Great football wx tho.
