FORECAST FIRST ALERT ‼️
Our team has decided to launch a Forecast First Alert.
We are now under an Enhanced Risk (Level 3 of 5) for severe storms.
Bear with us as this forecast evolves and we work diligently to get you the most specific and up to date information.
Nightly Weather Reset: A messy system still on tap! It arrives late Wednesday into Thursday. More sleet and freezing rain than snow for most. #mnwx
FORECAST FIRST ALERT: As our messy spring storm approaches, the data is growing more consistent with the potential of significant icing.
I'm doubting we see much in the way of snow, and growing more concerned we see enough freezing rain to bring down trees and powerlines. #mnwx
Temperatures should top out in the 70s today! Enjoy that, because the cold front of tracking tomorrow will set the stage for other things we will need to discuss.
Bring your brooms, because it’s a mess! #mnwx
Nightly Weather Reset: It’s a very cold end to the week, but a weekend warm up is coming! #mnwx
Nightly Weather Reset: Changes are arriving! A few of us will see showers. ALL of us will see the cold. #mnwx
70 degree temperatures, round 2!
Another strong cold front arrives tomorrow! So who else is outside this evening? #mnwx
Daily Weather Reset: Wednesday is awesome! Another shot at 70° before a big time cold front! #mnwx
Minnesota Weather Whiplash! Here's what you need to know 👇
The Good News:
👉 Sunshine and high's near 70° on Wednesday!
The Other News:
👉 Rain drops and temp fall Thursday. We don't get out of the 40s... some models try to end with snow.
Do you think we're done with snow this season? #mnwx
Wednesday afternoon temps are cranking up!
👉 Mid 60s at LEAST!
👉 With enough sunshine and a south wind, 70° isn’t out of the question.
Who’s ready to do this again?
Nightly Weather Reset! Here’s what we’re tracking the next few days!
Another round of snow arrives tomorrow! This time it’s light, maybe 1-3”. It starts during the evening commute.
No issues for the St. Patrick’s Day parade other than being cold!
NEW THIS MORNING: Forecast First ALERT!
A slow and slushy evening commute is expected. This snow will be blown around by wind gusts up to 45 miles per hour.
The transition has already occurred to our west. Colder temperatures and steady snow arrive over the next few hours.
As of the 1:00 AM update, the temperature is -20° at MSP. This is now the coldest night since January 31, 2019.
We will see just how much colder we get overnight! The -43° is not as cold as the -47° I saw during the last hour! #mnwx
If it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile... something like that! #mnwx
We don't have earthquakes
We don't have hurricanes
We don't have alligators
We DO have the most beautiful summers, lake life, and THIS! #mnwx
A second winter storm is on the way this week. This one will disrupt travel all across the Midwest. Here’s my latest thinking.
A Winter Weather Advisory has been issued for the entire metro. 2-5” of snow expected from Midnight Friday - Midnight Saturday. (2” in Blaine, 5” in Lakeville).
Further south, a Winter Storm Warning is in place for 5-9 inches of snow.
Over 12” of snow in parts of Iowa, Wisconsin, and Illinois.
Winter Storm Warnings and Winter Weather Advisories are being issued across much of Minnesota. Details to come all evening long on KSTP! #mnwx
I mean… c‘mon! Love how beautiful this city is!
If you’re a strict “no Christmas decor until after Thanksgiving” person… you don’t have to turn them on… but it’ll be a much more pleasant experience if you put the outdoor decorations up this weekend rather than next!
Sincerely,
Your Christmas Obsessed Meteorologist #mnwx
Winter Weather Awareness week is upon us, and with it comes a chance for snow overnight! Do you know the difference between a winter storm watch, warning, or winter weather advisory? #mnwx
Right! I’m out walking the dog now!
Looking for a way to spend your Friday afternoon? I’d say tackle the outdoor stuff. Raking leaves, exterior Christmas decor? TODAY is your day. This could be the last day of the year that’s this warm. Changes are coming in hot! … (or cold, I guess). #mnwx
Looking down the weather road - We’re mild for the next few days, but a switch to an active and wintry pattern across the country may not be far away. Can I say with absolute certainty? No. The clues, however, are quite strong and paint an interesting picture into December. #mnwx
If the best thing that I’ve seen is your glory, then I’ve seen it all!
Show me your northern lights pictures! I’ll go first!
After 225 days, on November 9, 2025, Winter began in the Twin Cities! The first flakes since April 2nd flew, and once again, I found myself in awe and wonder as if I’d never seen snow before.
My favorite time of the year has arrived, and it truly is the most wonderful!
I just gave this on the air if you missed it!! 😂 But plan for a sticky day, off and on showers in the afternoon, and temps mainly in the 60s. Won’t be terribly hot but you’ll sweat due to humidity and crowds.
The new Minnesota State Fair foods were revealed today… and there’s not a single thing on that list that interests me. 😭😭
What caught your eye?
Minnesauna is funny and I might have to take that one for the air tonight. 🤣
