Update: 3:12 pm. Partly-thundery Monday PM. Doppler shows a cluster of heavy showers/storms right over the immediate metro area - almost makes me wonder if the "urban heat island" (warmer air over the immediate Twin Cities) might have been the catalyst to get these storms blossoming almost directly overhead. The storms are drifting toward the NORThWEST (yes, really) and the heaviest storms should be west of the metro area by 5 or 6 pm - you may be able to salvage some outdoor plans during the evening hours.
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.

Heavy T-storms taper after 5 or 6 pm (nicer this evening)
