WE HAVE A LINK AT
WCCO.COM/LINKS.
LET'S HEAD OUT TO THE SIDE
OF THE STUDIO, TO THE WEATHER,
WE'VE GOT A SCARY SIGHT IN
NORTHERN MINNESOTA FROM
YESTERDAY.
SNOW TOTALS RANGING FROM 9.5
INCHES IN CROQUET.
THAT WAS ONE OF THE HIGHEST
AMOUNTS THAT I SAW, TO 4.5
INCHES IN COHASSET.
GARY SAYS ABOUT 5 INCHES, RIGHT
ON THE NOSE, 3 1/3 IN FORRESTON
AND SHAFER, AND GENERALLY, THE
FURTHER SOUTH YOU GO, THE LESS
SNOW POLICY RELATED.
TO THE WEST, PARKERS PRAIRIE
ONLY A HALF-INCH, WATKINS, 0.7
INCHES.
ST. PAUL, SORT OF RIGHT IN THE
MIDDLE OF THE METRO SNOWFALL
TOTALS, 2 INCHES.
I SAW AS LITTLE AS 1/10 OF AN
INCH AT THE AIRPORT AND AS MUCH
AS 4 INCHES -- OH, MY GOSH,
THIS IS NOT GOOD.
I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU, OUR FLOOR
DIRECTOR, TO KEEP THEM AWAY
FROM US.
SUPER SPOOKY.
OKAY.
[ LAUGHTER ]
RACHEL, WILL YOU, HOLD MY
HAND?
NO MORE SNOW COMING UP TODAY,
BUT I DO THINK THAT WE WILL SEE
SOME MORE SNOW IN THE FORECAST
AS WE GO THROUGH LATER IN THE
WEEK, PARTICULARLY IN NORTHERN
MINNESOTA.
THE WEATHER WATCHER TODAY IS
WHITE.
NOT MUCH CHANGE IN TEMPERATURES
EVEN THOUGH WE WILL SEE MORE
SUNSHINE DEVELOP AS WE GO
THROUGH THE DAY TODAY.
WE ARE KIND OF LOCKED INTO A
PRETTY COLD WEATHER PATTERN
THAT WILL REALLY LAST THROUGH
THE WEEK.
MORE SNOWFLAKES ARE IN THE
FORECAST BUT IN TERMS OF
ACCUMULATION LOCALLY, I THINK
WE ARE DONE WITH THAT FOR THE
WEEK.
THERE IS MORE CHELATION
POSSIBLE IN NORTHERN MINNESOTA.
COMING UP ON WEDNESDAY.
AND, HALLOWEEN OF COURSE IS A
BIG CONCERN.
IT WILL BE ONE OF THE NICEST
DAYS OF THE WEEK, BUT IT IS
STILL GOING TO BE QUITE CHILLY
BY OCTOBER STANDARDS.
GUYS ARE MOSTLY CLOUDY RIGHT
NOW, IT REALLY IS JUST A SLIVER
OF CLOUDS, SET RIGHT UP OVER
MINNEAPOLIS AND THE TWIN
CITIES.
OFF TO THE WEST AS WELL.
, TO THE EAST, WE'VE GOT MORE
IN THE WAY OF SUNNY BREAKS
ACROSS WISCONSIN.
THERE HAS BEEN SOME SUNSHINE IN
NORTH-CENTRAL AND NORTHEASTERN
MINNESOTA, AND, SOME DRY AIR
TRYING TO WORK IN TOWARD ST.
CLOUD AS WELL.
WE WILL KEEP AN EYE ON THAT,
BUT THE CLEARING WILL TAKE HOLD
AFTER ABOUT LUNCH COMING UP
LATER THIS AFTERNOON.
THAT STORM THAT CAME IN
YESTERDAY HAS DEVELOPED THIS
REALLY LONG LINE OF RAIN, FROM
SOUTHERN CANADA, OR ALL THE WAY
DOWN TO THE GULF COAST.
AND, COMING UP LATER ON
TONIGHT, THERE WILL BE SOME
TROPICAL MOISTURE THAT SORT OF
GET SUCKED UP INTO THIS, THIS
IS TROPICAL DEPRESSION 18.
35 MILE AN HOUR WINDS NOW,
SOUTH OF CUBA.
IT'S GOING TO MOVE QUICKLY
ACROSS SOUTHERN FLORIDA,
REALLY, JUST A RAINMAKER, AND
NOT A TON OF RAIN AT THAT.
SO, NOT A BIG CONCERN.
BUT AGAIN, SOME OF THAT
MOISTURE WILL BE GET INTRODUCED
-- GETTING INTRODUCED INTO THIS
STORM SYSTEM MOVING TO THE
EAST.
TOMORROW, TOMORROW NIGHT AND
MONDAY MORNING, AND THE
COMBINATION OF WIND AND HEAVY
RAIN, 4 TO 6 INCHES OF THAT,
MEANS THAT FLIGHT SUNDAY NIGHT
THROUGH MONDAY FROM BOSTON TO
NEW YORK, PHILADELPHIA AND DC,
PITTSBURGH, MAYBE EVEN DETROIT,
THEY WILL BE IMPACTED SO CHECK
AHEAD IF YOU HAVE TROUBLE
PLANS.
FOR US TODAY, WELL OFF THE
MARK.
52 IS OUR AVERAGE HIGH, 39 IS
WHERE WE WILL END UP FOR THE
HIGH IN THE TWIN CITIES.
MAYBE SOME LOW TO MID-40s IN
SOUTHWESTERN MINNESOTA.
THAT'S WHERE THE SUN WILL
DEVELOP FIRST AND THEN IT WILL
START TO CLEAR EASTWARD THROUGH
THE DAY.
OVERNIGHT TONIGHT, CLOUDS COME
BACK IN, BUT, IT WILL BE A
LITTLE BIT COLDER TONIGHT, THEN
IT WAS LAST NIGHT.
BUT, NOT AS COLD AS IT COULD
BE.
28 THOUGH, STILL BELOW
FREEZING.
TOMORROW, 43 TO 48 AROUND THE
REGION.
IN THE METRO TO THE WEST AND
SOUTHWEST, CLOSER TO 50 TO THE
NORTH AND EAST, MORE LIKE 30s.
SKIES WILL FEATURE A LOT OF
CLOUDS, THERE WILL BE SCATTERED
LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS AND WET
SNOWFLAKES MIXING IN.
YOU CAN SEE EARLY TOMORROW
MORNING, BUT, EVEN IN NORTHERN
MINNESOTA, JUST WARM ENOUGH
THAT MOST OF WHAT FALLS WILL
JUST SORT OF BE A CHILLY RAIN.
CLOUDS STAY TOUGH THROUGH THE
NIGHT SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY.
MONDAY, JUST COLD ENOUGH THAT
WHAT FALLS, NUISANCE VARIETY,
THOUGH IT WILL BE, WILL LIKELY
BE ALL SNOW.
THAT MEANS FLURRIES ON MONDAY,
AND, BOTH SUNDAY AND MONDAY,
VERY WINDY.
GUSTS 30 TO 45 MILES AN HOUR.
THERE IS THE SLIGHTLY IMPROVED
FORECAST FOR HALLOWEEN.
39 FOR THE HIGH.
SO, THE AFTERNOON TRICK-OR-
TREATING WILL STILL BE CHILLY.
EVENING TEMPERATURES IN THE
LOWER TO MID-30s, LESS WIND AND
SOME SUNSHINE.
WEDNESDAY, SOME RAIN AND SNOW
