Sunday, April 10, Spring Fling Over Might it really come back, even if for only a brief visit? Did you enjoy those precious few hours in the "warm sector" today? Now that the threat of severe weather has scampered well east of the Twin Cities, the juicy weather talk has moved back to something rather familiar: the possibility of snow for late this week. Here are a few choice comments from the ever fearless forecasters of the Twin Cities: We'll monitor what other weather outlets may have to say about ss ss sssnnno snow in the coming days.

Labels: April 15 snow. Tuesday, April 5, First Stormy Severe? Weather of the Season This Weekend? Updated the forecast highs for the weekend in red.

In two days, Fox has raised its forecast high for Saturday by a whopping 16 degrees. Most outlets have raised forecast high temps as well, but not to the degree that Fox has.

However, interestingly enough, the late Strib update reflects skepticism that temps will get out of the 50s on Saturday, making it the only forecast to reverse the trend. Forecasters are suggesting a thunderous weekend may be in store this weekend with the season's warmest temperatures to date. We're not sure exactly how to grade and assess such a forecast, but it's worth a discussion. So, discuss away. Labels: severe weather , stormy weather. Newer Posts Older Posts Home.

One man's miracle or is another man's bad forecast. These two tweets seem to be going different ways. They have a 3-year-old child. An e-mailer, who left me with the impression that he was a friend of one of Windler's neighbors, asked me to find out if Chikage's exit was "due to her apparent problems with Dave Dahl, " KSTP's chief meteorologist. Without disclosing the e-mailer's signed name, I read that entire missive to Windler.

It's just the fact that my schedule has been so awful -- the double shifts. Lindsay Radford [news director] and Rob said they understood why I wanted to leave.

Dahl's rumored stature as the highest-paid KSTP on-air talent Dave and Rusty Gatenby are considered the station's two most recognizable talents notwithstanding, I can imagine Windler inducing envy pangs in Dahl. Nice a guy as Dahl is, he's human, and over the last year Windler appeared to be a darling of ABC's "Good Morning America," which offered her a weekend freelance deal.

A half-dozen times she's been flown to NYC to fill in on "GMA," and she's been the network morning show's preferred meteorologist when they want to go to Minnesota for reports on big storms. Windler's demographics will be missed around KSTP's weather department -- she's a woman and half Japanese. While she grew up in Broken Arrow, Okla.

An "Amy Hammer" chimed in: "Take a sick day, Amelia. You need it! She can't not be there, it's in her contract, unless she dies, then she gets three days off. Santaniello was off-air Thursday, the day she went to the doctor. I probably sounded worse than I felt, but I had a bit of a fever so I went in to the doctor and he said I have sinus and ear infections," Santaniello said. I'm glad there was something I can take to make me feel better.

I'm sorry my congestion and all that became distracting. It was really nice that all these people took time to write. I'll probably go on Facebook today, thank them and tell them what I have. A former local TV reporter, Marinan knows "being off the air in May is considered sacrilegious. You know, my first wedding I had to rearrange because of the sweeps. Because of technical problems, my video featuring the voice of Teresa Mauer , mother of Twins star Joe Mauer , was posted very late Thursday on www.

You can see it now at tinyurl. In the video, she talks about the kind of wife Joe will need someday, and we've included a quick interview with Star Tribune sports columnist Sid Hartman who "is Minneapolis," according to Lakers coach Phil Jackson.

Frazier's commitment to the Twin Cities community has not gone unrecognized, with the Midtown Global Market — of which he was a frequent visitor — thanking him for his patronage. Tom Halden, the communications director for the Minneapolis-St. Paul Archdiocese, wrote: "Steve used to join us for Mass and was always asking the big questions. She said learning of his death explains why she may have seemed a little "off" doing the weather on Wednesday, saying on Facebook : "He was a quirky, fun meteorologist who endeared himself to everyone he met.
