I guess this is one way to garner national exposure.

A clip from the FOX 21 morning show landed on Jimmy Kimmel's opening monologue last night. Meteorologist Ken Slama and I were talking about Snoop Dogg's new cereal... Snoop Loopz. Nice shoutout to #DULUTH, too!

Mother Nature decided to remind us that it is still winter in one fell swoop. Just a tad cooler this morning. 🥶#coldfront #Northland #mnwx

[Ken Slama @KenSlama]

Now if we could just get some ❄ to make the cold more enjoyable.

We are seeing our first snowfall here at NWS Duluth for the 2023-2024 winter season! Did you seen any accumulating snow today? Let us know!

[NWS Duluth @NWSduluth]

A "fun" fact for you about today's forecasted high temperatures: Other than a couple select locations, the maximum temperatures expected today will be higher than any temperature experienced yet this year. Today could be the hottest day of the year for the Northland! #mnwx #wiwx

[Ken Slama @KenSlama]

Some of you have may have already noticed the leaves starting to change colors in the #Northland, but now we can officially say #fallcolors season is here. #mnwx

[NWS Duluth @NWSduluth]

A cold front crossing the Northland on Wed should lead to a line of thunderstorms. Some storms could be severe, capable of damaging wind gusts to 70 mph and hail up to 1.5" in diameter. This severe threat will be conditional on exact timing and placement of the front. #mnwx #wiwx

[NWS Duluth @NWSduluth]

While some recent rainfall has been seen across the region, many areas are still running 4 to 6 plus inches of rainfall below normal since mid May. If you are observing drought impacts, submit a report at https://t.co/ws0X0SzxIH

Last summer @DanHanger brought some fun to our morning show, but @Mariavollom_ took the fun to a new level this morning with #goatyoga! Tune in weekday mornings from 7 to 9 am. @KQDS_FOX21

[Ken Slama @KenSlama]

We typically only see an enhanced risk in this part of the country a couple of times a year so when the orange pops up on map, it should really get your attention. This has potential to be a dangerous situation so stay weather aware and informed through the evening.

[Ken Slama @KenSlama]

There is now an enhanced risk of severe weather this afternoon in the Northland with storms capable of producing wind gusts up to 75 mph and 2" diameter hail. @KQDS_FOX21 #mnwx #wiwx

[Ken Slama @KenSlama]

Live selfie on National Selfie Day. Always having fun on the @KQDS_FOX21 morning show from 7 to 9 am.

[NWS Duluth @NWSduluth]

We've had a quiet convective season so far with only 1 Severe Thunderstorm Warning issued in the Northland. The current pattern for the rest of June also does not look very active at the moment. We'll see how July pans out as it is typically our most active month #mnwx #wiwx

[Ken Slama @KenSlama]

Having some fun wishing @JJettas2 a happy birthday this morning on our @KQDS_FOX21 morning show. #griddy

[Ken Slama @KenSlama]

#grandmasmarathon weekend has arrived and high pressure will keep the weather dry and calm long enough for the big race. The front will move in tomorrow evening bringing spotty showers and isolated storms through Sunday. #mnwx #Duluth

[Ken Slama @KenSlama]

It might be recency bias, but it feels the weather has been nicer this year for the visiting cruise ships in #Duluth. Our guests will enjoy sunny skies and 80° temps today. #VikingOctantis #mnwx @KQDS_FOX21

[Ken Slama @KenSlama]

@clkoval @KQDS_FOX21 @RustyMehlberg We always hype up the fall colors, but the spring colors are beautiful as well!

[Ken Slama @KenSlama]

Happy Monday morning #Duluth and #Northland. It is going to be a pleasant day to start the workweek with highs back in the 70s. #sunrise
