Back in my TV days my boys would get upset when people would come up to me in a restaurant and chat. They didn’t want any distractions. I tried telling them that anonymity in the media business is a bad thing. “If nobody recognized me we’d be living in a van down by the river.” Thank you, Matt Foley.
Semiretired now, I get weather questions from neighbors, friends and family. “What time will the storms hit, Paul?” “Will our outdoor event get rained out?” “Why does your hair still look funny?” Meteorologists are always on the clock. Just like doctors, plumbers and TikTok influencers.
A stubborn frontal boundary draped over Minnesota makes timing weekend thunderstorms very tricky. Storms taper early Saturday; a drier sky midday and in the evening. Heavy thunderstorms reignite tonight into Monday with some 1 to 3 inches of rain possible.
I see a drier, cooler pattern just in time for the Minnesota State Fair, with 70s and low 80s. No scorching heat — just an rumble grumble of thunder.
