One particularly nasty storm has formed over north Minnesota, but it will thankfully be steered around us to our north by the ridge. This wonderfully warm, dry air will continue as the high pressure center stalls over North Carolina and remains parked the rest of the week. Unfortunately, as all good things must come to an end, so must this week. It appears as though unsettled weather is due for Friday evening as our beloved high and ridge pass out to sea and are replaced with a slowly moving cold front. Warm and dry with clear skies and a light westerly breeze.
Winds shift to southerly and pick up a bit.
Hot and dry with mostly clear skies and light southwesterly winds. More of the same but partly cloudy. This story was published on Tuesday, May 1, 2001. Read other stories in this issue. Return to our home page .
