rain

The extreme drought that Minnesota finds itself in is impacting more than just lawns and gardens. The severe lack of rain also has an impact on the fall colors.

Meteorologist Megan Moulford joined me on WJON today. She says to alleviate the effects of the drought we would need an inch of rain for three straight weeks. She says who is hit hardest by the drought in Minnesota varies depending on the amount of rain they have received this summer.

We have some weather announcements for Thursday, May 27th, 2021.
