The wet weather didn’t stay behind in September. Some parts of the state saw three inches of rain this week, while others had their first snow of the season. MPR News host Cathy Wurzer ran down the week in weather with retired University of Minnesota meteorologist and climatologist Mark Seeley.
It’s only August, but 2019 has already seen a range of weather records and notable events—from the snowiest February in state history, to recent reports of rare grapefruit-sized hail (Clear Lake in July, and Delano in August).
