Hope you enjoyed the lovely weather on Saturday and Sunday, although some of us may have been surprised by afternoon showers on Sunday.

We caught a break at the Viking and Twins games as showers arrived well after both games had ended. The heavier downpours may have dumped up to a quarter inch of rain in isolated spots of east central Minnesota.

Huttner will be a guest speaker at the Climate Generation event in Mankato, Minn., this evening. Hope some of you can make it.

As the daylight grows short, losing about 20 minutes a week, my flame for weather remains bright! But I am retiring from the Minnesota weather scene and moving on to a warmer part of the country, where wind chill drops to no more than 35 degrees.

I am very grateful to all the fine people that made my run on Minnesota Public Radio an enjoyable experience! Paul Huttner and colleagues will take you through the El Nino winter.
