Weaker winds in the upper atmosphere and record warm sea-surface temperatures are expected to make an explosive storm environment.
With a path ranging from the Pacific Northwest to Canada, “Eclipse ‘79” gave North Dakotans near 100% totality.
Depending on the weather, the partial eclipse should be viewable starting at 1 p.m. through 3 p.m. over central Minnesota.
On April 7, 1988, the low was 36 degrees and the high was 80.
Spring and summer thunderstorms get much of their energy from the evaporation and condensation of water.
The top three warmest September-March periods have occurred since 2011-12 and the top five warmest have been since 1999-2000.
StormTRACKER Meteorologist John Wheeler explores a calmer, quieter spring pattern.
In this Weather Wednesday we look at how the weather will respond to the eclipse in totality and how to view the partial eclipse in our area.
This is the eighth consecutive month with warmer than average temperatures.
Despite the lack of scorching hot days, average summer temperatures have actually risen.
