Prelim data in for August, and it ended on the warm side. Same with the Summer average, on the warm side, but not excessive for us here in the Lakes/Midwest region. The last 2 previous summers got a little on the hot side at times.

High of 59 at TH arpt yesterday with 45 this morning. High of 63 here in town yesterday with 47 this morning. Mid 60's right now. When it's the warmer season, its cooler by the lake, then it runs opposite as we start entering the colder season. The summer weather next week will feel nice. Get as much as I can as there is not much left.

Cool weekend. Furnace even kicked on this morning once. It still works, so all ready on that end.

80's the last couple days, with 60's coming for the weekend. A little more summer next week with upper 70's to low 80's again. Roller coaster continues.

August here in Two Harbors has temps/precip below avg at 63.9 (65.3), and 2.72" (3.48"). Precip is right about avg for the year now at 21.89" (21.42"). Summer was on the cooler side with 60.8 (62.1), and drier with 9.36" (11.76"). With the Lake being so much cooler this year, it had a big effect on temps here, and the weather pattern really helped it stay that way through the summer with so many cooler, drier nights. In looking at the data, we really didn't see a steady stream of warmer nights until mid August. The lower humidity allows for more cooling at night.

The way it looks now, my forecast is off by a couple days. High pressure will move in Fri-Sat instead of Sun-Mon. There will be another front coming starting late Monday, tho, but I messed up on the high pressure timing. A generally cool, pleasant weekend on tap. Enjoy

Halloween looks pretty fair overall. Temps will be chilly in the morning, but pleasant in the afternoon.

My Columbus day forecast looks like a system moving in along a boundary with a ridge up in Canada. Cooler in the north with some showers with warmer temps, and storms for parts of the southern areas.

Yeah, there are some observances I never knew about either. Kinda neat to know we have some like this tho.

Good call. Front slowly making it's way through over the weekend.

Noticing bird movements typical of late August. Geese started moving in around here over a week ago. They sense something.

Just mellow early Sept like weather here. But the roller coaster isn't done yet, but summer is, almost.

Overcast with some showers right now. Earlier this week CA geese were starting to move onto the local golf course.. Couple weeks early this year.

GFS showing a similar pattern for this day.

Not too bad of a call for this day. High pressure moving in a little quicker in the north than anticipated, but a front moving through nonetheless.

See for yourself. Still saw some chilly mornings there over the hill. Here in town, been a little cooler with the lake on the cool side.

Prelim data in for July. A little on the warmer side, but not too bad.

Forecast for the Festival looks awesome today, and tomorrow, but showers/storms late Friday into Saturday, then cool, breezy NE winds with showers possible for Sunday. A bit of a rotten ending to it all.

Two Harbors is hosting the Festival of Sails this year, aka Tall Ships. Duluth normally hosts it, but work is going on around the waterfront there. Here's a live cam.

Two Harbors ends with 3.6" of precip for the month with the avg being 4.05". Avg temp was 61.6 with the normal being 64.8. So far a cooler summer with a temp avg at 59.2 (60.6), and precip lagging, but not by much, with 6.64" (8.28"). The lake has been much cooler this year. Checking Duluth so far this summer, they are right about avg. 7.91" (8.31"), and 64.5 (64.1). Pretty avg to slightly above avg summer so far for our region.

After Labor day, the holiday/observance list I use has nothing else really, so I have a forecast for the Fall equinox. Front moving through with a ridge following is what it looks like to me, so expect showers/storms affecting the region as we officially transition into Fall.

When I was looking into the Labor Day forecast for the Holiday thread, I took a closer look at the patterns for the next couple months. What a see-saw I'm seeing for our region.

Looks like I'm going to be off by a good half day or so here. Front starts moving through the day before (23rd) into Sunday (24th).

Forecast for Labor Day weekend this year looks like a rather warm, and stormy scenario with Canadian high pressure starting to make a move into the region Sunday night into Monday. Here's the Labor Day map.

89 with a dew of 75. Even with mid level stratus moving through, it pretty warm out today. Scattered storms coming later. Peaked at 90 with 77 dew not long ago.
