Had a little yesterday. Most of the rain stayed just west of the Arrowhead, but today looks much better for something significant.
-
Extensive damage reported around Marble Rock, IA from yesterday evenings tornado.
-
Tornado watch for east central MN into NW WI until 4pm. West central MN seeing heavy weather with winds up to 70 and 1.25" hail. Radar rotation just WNW of St. Cloud invoked a tornado warning. Looks like a squirrely few hours coming up just south of me.
-
A cool, overcast day today with low 60's and about 0.25" of rain. Need much more than that. Even still, should help greatly with the Greenwood fire.
-
Veteran's Day looks to be cool but nice for most with weather in the south, and a front approaching from the west.
-
Halloween looks to be wet for some, while cold and blustery for others.
-
My forecast for Columbus Day calls for inclement weather affecting parts of the region.
-
This day many may not be aware of, but it's National Clean-up Day. This year it's on the Saturday, Sept 18. I'm expecting wet weather to move into our region that day.
-
My guesstimate for the Fall outlook is something like this, so we shall see if it ends close or a bust. Did ok with the summer outlook which I put in the summer thread.
-
Came close.

Good chance of rain moving in today and for the weekend. Should greatly help firefighting efforts concerning the Greenwood fire, now at 26,000 acres. My other son lives in Silver Bay, and he had heavy smoke and ash falling last night. Really bad stuff. Smoke rolled in here around 5 am for a little while, but east winds cleared things out.
-
The Greenwood wildfire north of me expanded from 10,000 to 19,500 acres overnight. North Shore got smoked out really bad last night too. Woke up at 0 dark 30 to close window. Just nasty. We had some rain this morning (around 0.1") in town, but very little made its way up north. Chance for more this aftrn/eve, but any lightning strikes could start more fires. There is currently a 1500 acre fire going in the BWCA, with a couple other small ones.

00z GFS showing the pattern I'm expecting for the start of Labor Day weekend. Not at all uncommon to have strong cold fronts in early Sept. So we shall see how close I get on this one.
-
A little on the warm side for July, due to the warmer weather in the northern parts of our region.
-
A whole tenth of an inch of rain really early this morning. Nice today with west winds and 80. Low dews and smoke free skies. No rain in the forecast for a few days. Just really pleasant weather. Need much rain tho.
-
Temps in the low-mid 60's with a breezy NE wind. Rain staying south of me tho. Maybe tomorrow.
-
Pm weather missed me, so this weekend will hopefully do better. Avg temps today in the mid-upper 70's. Easterly winds will keep temps down this weekend, but a good soaking rain would be a nice trade off.
-
0.38" of rain this morning with storms for the afternoon. Temps around 70 now. Feels really good. Forecast has off and on chances of rain the next few days. Much needed.
-
A full day with no smoke. Breathable air for a change. Refreshing.
-
NE MN was about 2 deg above normal (3.5 in I-Falls), and 2-3" below normal in precip for July. The best chance of rain coming up will be in the second week of Aug, but the month looks fairly dry overall. Temps look to avg out. Really need the rain.
-
Band of heavy smoke moving S-SE across N MN. Looks like it should clear out for the evening on the strong N flow. Possible scattered showers coming in to NE MN from CA. Had some rain w/thunder very early this morning. Total rain for the month is 1.58". About 2.5" below normal. The dry streak continues around here. Gooseberry Falls, just up the road from here, is just a trickle right now.
-
Skies have cleared here. This is the clearest they have been in weeks. No smoke, and lower humidity.
-
Thanks for the kind words everyone. It has been tough beyond words. Today's skies are very heavily smoked out. You can smell it even. The 26th and 28th brought much needed rain, but still well behind overall.
-
Haven't been around in a while. Lost my youngest son, Daniel(26) back on the 16th. Very trying time for me and my family. Starting to get back to a little bit of normalcy. That being said, looks like more storms moving through today. Already some svr weather west of me this morning.

We had some pretty vigorous storms on the eve of the 26th. Hail up to 3" was reported and power was out for about 4 hours. Winds only hit in the 50 mph range, but it was the most dangerous weather of the summer so far in my area.
