National Weather Service

Strong to severe storms could move into east-central Minnesota and western Wisconsin by late Monday morning and affect southern Minnesota and western Wisconsin Monday afternoon.

We had record rainfall in St. Cloud Sunday. The National Weather Service says we officially had 1.79 inches of rain, that breaks the old record for the date of 1.17 inches set back in 1942.

Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected through much of the day Tuesday, with a severe storm or two possible in the afternoon into the evening.

The National Weather Service has issued a Severe Thunderstorm Watch for our listening area Thursday. It is in effect until 1:00 p.m. and it includes pretty much all of central and southern Minnesota.

A late season snowfall brought some impressive totals up in northeastern Minnesota Wednesday night.

With the pending blizzard expected to hit Wednesday, the National Weather Service is cancelling the statewide tornado drill for Thursday and Friday. However, individual counties are still planning to move forward with the drill.

While we've had a lot of snow far this month, we're far from breaking any records.

It was cold across the entire state early Wednesday morning, but no one in central Minnesota can say they were colder than Melrose.

With warmer than expected temperatures Thursday St. Cloud didn't get near as much snow as the communities to the north of us.

We will be under an Excessive Heat Warning on Friday. The National Weather Service says it will be in effect from 11:00 a.m. until 10:00 p.m.
