FOX 21 WEATHER UPDATE for June 13: Scattered light rain; HI: 65; LO: 47

Good morning, here's your wx discussion for Friday, June 13:

So far, the Duluth Airport has picked a little more than 4 inches of

rain through the first 12 days of the month! It certainly has been wet

and stormy for us, but if we can only hold on just a bit longer, I think

many will be happy with the weather changes ahead. It appears that the

upper level flow pattern will be buckling northward by the middle and

end of next week. This will divert the wetter weather northward and

allow an extended period of more sunshine and milder temperatures to

filter in. Of course, that would be great timing considering Grandma's

Marathon is only about one week away. I remember a similar weather

pattern like this three year ago, back in June of 2005! Some may recall

a rainy first half of June 2005, where the first 15 days of month

featured 3.19 inches of rain, then there was a major weather pattern

shift. The next four days, which ran through the Grandma's Marathon

weekend, were dry and sunny with high temperatures in the low to mid

70s! Maybe it'll be the same this year... Wouldn't that be nice?
