Spit a little rain here. Just enough to wet the surface briefly. Breezy, cool today before warmer wx returns. ZZZZ is spot on. Hoping for a little more action towards mid Oct.

Pretty good call here with HP over the region, and cooler, but pleasant conditions.

This is what I found for my town TH. Looks like it tied 5th driest month in the record since 1894. Jan 1894/Nov 1904/Dec 1905 0.00" Jan 1981 0.02" Nov 1916/1917/March 1960 0.04" Dec 1913 0.05" Nov 1912/Dec 1979/Sept 2024 0.06"

0.06" here TH for the driest Sept on record. Beat 0.26" from 1948. Dry conditions expanding quickly here in NE MN. Duluth had its warmest Sept at 64.3F beating out 1897 (62.6). 2nd driest with 0.31" (0.19" 1952).

I think it's something wet from the sky. Wouldn't know, haven't seen any in such a long while

Chilly morning with temps running in the upper 20's-mid 30's across the area., with 40's closer to the Lake. Milder temps coming up mid week for a few days. No rain either. 0.06" for the month so far (3.53" Sept avg), and no rain till the end of the month would make this a record for TH. 0.26" in 1948 is the current record.

Seasonable day with highs in the 60's. Frost advisory out for tomorrow am. Here's the results of the tornado we had in the area the other day.

Yes there were, but I missed out. And only ended with a couple hundredths of rain. Confirmed tornado W of me around 5pm.

Very nice summery wx this week so far. Looks like a decent chance at rain coming up. Really need it. Next week has more seasonable wx on tap.

Busted this cast. Pattern I was picking up on looks to be coming in to some degree later in the week.

Sun is being blocked so much, that it's an orange ball slowly setting this evening. Not often you can look at it with the naked eye. Pretty cool.

Thick smoke just arriving. Sun has been hazed pretty seriously this aftrn.

Just noticed a couple new icons in the like bar. I think those new ones will get a lot of use. LOL! After some cool wx, a nice stretch of summery wx on tap. That's great! Get plenty of colder wx here in the N areas, so any extension of the warm stuff is most welcome. Speaking of Summer, prelim data is in for Aug. Landed a little above average, so far anyway. And summer was above normal, being driven mainly by June's higher anomaly. 5 & 10 yr charts shown respectively.

Pretty so-so cast for this day. No wet wx to speak of will enter the sub, but there will be LER for some. LP will hang back as CAN front moves in across the N areas.

You don't remember where exactly? That's a cold one.

Brimson reported a 28 as well. Didn't come across anything lower, but don't have access to all sites. I know there are some auto stations out there, too, just don't have that data.

Chilly a.m. with near record/record lows across the Northland. Duluth 34 3rd, I-Falls 32 T3rd, Hibbing 30 T1st with 1986. 30 was the record low at all 3 sites for Sept 7. DLH issued freeze warnings yesterday for interior NE MN as more modelling data came in during the day. Initially they just had frost advisories. Temps were running from the upper 20's-low 30's away from the Lake, low 40's near the shore.

First frost advisories of the Fall season for tomorrow morning as expected. Temps in the low 60's today.

Heavy smoke moving over the Northland today. Sun is seriously hazed. Supposed to hit 80 today, but smoke may interfere with that.

Lows this morning running from the mid 30's to the low 40's away from the lake, to around 50 here on the shore. A nice few days on tap, then a front will pass bringing in more late Sept-early Oct temps for the weekend. Highs in the upper 50's- mid 60's. Wide spread frost on tap, and freeze conditions for some of the favored cool spots.

If you can upload your pics on your computer (if you have one), you edit them in Paint. Resize, and change format (GIF), and they will be small enough to upload here without using a ton of bytes. I do this with all pics, if necessary, even NWS story board graphics.

Upper LP hanging out over the Lakes for a week? Interesting.

My timing is slow with frontal progressions, but the overall pattern I saw is there. Looks like a pretty nice end to summer.

Only ended up with 0.30" so that looks like that's that for the month, and the summer season. 4.38" (3.48" avg) for the month, and 14.11" (11.76" avg) for the summer. Looks like I might hit 80 today on a down sloping W wind, as well as tomorrow. AM temps will be a little cool with the drier air, tho. My grandson's 1st football game of the year is tonight. It's an away game, so I'll watch it on the internet. He's a HS junior this year. Man do they grow up quick. My other grandson won't be playing, but he's going to be really busy with schoolwork, and an internship at our local clinic. He will be working on his Associate's degree, and he's only a HS junior, as well. He's looking to be a doctor. All his school work will be through LSC in DLH, mainly online for the next 1 1/2 - 2 yrs. My granddaughter did the same thing when she was a junior in HS. It's really nice that our high school has this program for kids to move ahead who qualify.

So far this month, TH is sitting at 4.08" (3.48" avg for Aug), and that comes from 3 significant events. Later today into tonight expecting another 1" possibly up to 2". So far for this summer, 13.81" (11.76" avg). July was the dry month with only half the avg. June, and Aug on the wet side. Very early Fall like wx again today with a lake breeze, and cloudy skies. Temps in the mid-upper 60's.
