Smoke has arrived a couple of months early this summer season and here is how you can help your family protect themselves on days when air quality is poor.
It won't snow for the Minnesota Fishing Opener, but it will be windy and chilly with wake-up temperatures stuck in the 40s. The good news: most of the rain should pass to our south and west on Saturday. Choppy on your favorite lake, but at least you won't get soaked.
Nearly half a million Americans have been injured walking their dogs since 2001, and the injury-rate has quadrupled in 20 years, for a long list of reasons. How can we lower the risk, to ourselves and our canine friends?
That massive air conditioner in our back yard not only keeps us comfortable during the summer, but it kills off most of the severe storms capable of spinning up tornadoes. Cook County: take a bow. You are the most "tornado-safe" county in Minnesota.
Skin cancer is claiming more men than women in recent years, the result of sunscreen use (or lack thereof). If not caught early melanoma can be fatal. But there are things you can do to greatly lower the risk
Our weather over the Northland is stuck in an early March-like pattern. How much of this is natural, "normal" versus evidence of rapid changes thousands of miles upwind, over the Arctic?
But wait, there's more? As if 140" of snow isn't enough - models are hinting at more slushy possibilities in the coming days, especially over the Minnesota Arrowhead. Would someone please try to reboot spring?
The Twin Ports just set a new all-time winter snowfall record: more than 138" and the snow isn't over just yet. The freezing rain is over but more light snow will fall today and tonight.
You just endured - survived - enjoyed the snowiest winter since accurate weather records were first started in Duluth back in 1885. Today will bring high winds, serious icing and a changeover back to snow, with heaviest accumulation north and west of the Twin Ports.
High winds and rain freezing on contact may coat trees and highways with an icy coating today, before a changeover to snow tonight and Friday that should push the Twin Ports to a new, all-time snowfall record for the winter.
