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.

Storm Watch southeastern MN until 6 pm
Severe Storm Watch. SPC has issued a severe storm watch for extreme southeastern MN and southwestern WI until 6 pm this evening. A eastbound cool front, coupled with warm, unstable air, is escalating the risk of 1"+ hail and potentially violent winds (>60 mph) near Winona, Lake City and La Crosse. Although a thunderstorm is possible in the Twin Cities and St. Cloud, it does appear the greatest risk is over far southeastern MN, where the air is most unstable and primed for strong/severe storms.
