Meteorologist Paul Douglas writes about Minnesota weather daily, trying to go beyond the "highs" and "lows" of the weather story to discuss current trends and some of the how's and why's of meteorology. Rarely is our weather dull - every day is a new forecast challenge. Why is the weather doing what it's doing? Is climate change a real concern, and if so, how will my family be affected? Climate is flavoring all weather now, and I'll include links to timely stories that resonate with me.

Welcome T-storms about to soak south metro
Update: 6:40 pm. The frontal boundary that limped across the region today just got a lot more interesting in the last 1-2 hours. An area of T-storms has mushroomed along the southern extremities of the front, and Doppler Radar from MPX is hinting at some 1/4" hail, possibly pea-size in a few of the cells tracking across mainly the south metro over the next few hours. I don't expect anything severe, but some .50 to 1.50" rainfall amounts are likely from the Lake Minnetonka area and Eden Prairie to Bloomington, Lakeville, Woodbury and Eagan - welcome rains indeed. This is the first significant rain for these neighborhoods in 2 weeks!
