We may have had our first flakes of the season in North Dakota late last night and early this morning but they didn't stick. Check out what it looked like in Langdon three years ago: talk about spooky!

Split reports: snow and rain from last night. Tomorrow calls for only rain showers and it won't be wet all day Wednesday.

Good luck to the Cross Country runners competing at state Friday & Saturday! The forecast on Friday is windy w/temps in the 70s & a chance of a shower. Saturday starts in the 60s in the AM but temps will be falling all day long, near 50° at the starting line w/a strong wind .

Secure the Halloween decorations: the wind will get even stronger tonight! (video has no sound)

Wow, thank you cloud cover: you saved the temperature from tanking this AM! Check out the 20s where the skies were clear - 40s under the cloud blanket. Even more clouds and a stronger wind for Thursday: Wind Advisory has been posted for a good portion of North Dakota.

Record 89° on Saturday in Fargo and now temperatures have fallen nearly FORTY degrees with a brisk breeze: ouch. At least these aren't wind chills... yet.

LOVE seeing the woolly bear caterpillar photos but don't but much stock in their colors and what it means for winter: the thickness of the brown band is more of an indicator on when the caterpillar hatched, its diet and the weather it's lived through.

Sunsets keep creeping earlier: first sunset before 7pm is today. It's getting dark fast this month as we lose roughly 23 minutes of daylight per week as we approach Halloween.

More NDAWN cameras showing the aurora now: check out Perth, ND in Towner county!

Check it out! That's the aurora showing up in Maxbass, ND in Bottineau county from the NDAWN camera! Bundle up if you are heading out to check out the Northern Lights - it's getting chilly already with the clear sky and light wind.

Get ready to tuck in those sensitive plants! Frost blanket recommended for your basil and tomatoes if you want to extent the growing season: widespread 30s forecast for tonight.

Rain totals from Sunday night - Tuesday morning. Daily record rainfall was set for Fargo, Grand Forks NWS and the Grand Forks airport for Sept. 28th. (video has no sound)

Street flooding near Brunsdale Park in Fargo - Flash Flood Warning continues for the F-M metro due to 1-2" of rain.

Technically the full harvest moon was yesterday but we were clouded over so tonight's waning gibbus will have to do... it looks so bright with our clear sky!! Clouds and rain return Monday, get the umbrella ready.

Rain reports from Wednesday night - Thursday. (video has no sound)

🍂🍁Wow! Lutsen, MN showing off the fall foliage! Our local parks are mostly showing 10%-30% color.🍁🍂
