Today marks 50 years since the sinking of the SS Edmund Fitzgerald on its voyage through Lake Superior. As we mourn the loss of those 29 sailors, let us be humbled by the forces of nature on the Great Lakes. The wave heights and winds were extreme that day.

As several wildfires burn across the state, heed the Red Flag Warnings and open burning restrictions as warm temperatures coupled with low humidities and gusty winds raise the fire danger significantly. Rain may not arrive until Thursday.

If you've ever been following a storm in the state and heard a meteorologist say "it's hard to tell what exactly is going on, this storm is in a bit of a radar hole" then this is what Meteorologist and MN State Senator Robert Kupec, along with companies like Climavision, are trying to address.

Precipitation in the Metro Area and parts of southern Minnesota have rebounded somewhat but a significant drought still remains in Northern MN where rates are still below average. Keep posted to our social media pages and website for the latest information on events and happenings! #mnwx #tcmetsoc
