It May Be Meteorological Fall, But Don't Write Off Summer Just Yet

There’s a taste of fall in the air, but expect some potentially severe thunderstorms in parts of southern Minnesota late Saturday into early Sunday bringing hail and damaging winds. Climatologist Kenny Blumenfeld says the weather pattern is set to dramatically shift due to “a powerful cold front that is going to swing through basically covering the whole state falling in from the northwest first late Saturday and then crossing the rest of the state either Sunday or at least by Sunday evening in southeast Minnesota. And once that happens, it’s like switching seasons.” Blumenfeld says below normal temperatures are in store for the coming week, and frost in northern Minnesota can’t be ruled out. But don’t give up on summer as weather models are indicating a warmup coming by mid-month. Also in this episode, a look back at meteorological summer (June-August) and how weather conditions can sometimes impact health.
