A semi-trailer was blown over on a bridge in Minnesota this week. How much wind does it take to blow one over? When should you be cautious?

Some places have seen over 60 mph wind gusts!

Duluth topped the list of highest wind gusts recorded Tuesday. Here are the impressive measured gusts.

A Minnesota couple was killed in a freak accident at a campground in Wisconsin last month.

Wind gusts around the Twin Ports and areas of Northeastern Minnesota and Northwestern Wisconsin saw impressive wind gusts on Sunday, as a storm moved to the east.

It's been no secret that Wednesday has been a windy day, but just how windy? There was a hurricane force gust recorded on Lake Superior!

Those infamous March winds are certainly living up to their reputation.

We have had several windy days in a row and according to our WDIO Storm Team meteorologists, we have several more to come.  I have always gauged how windy it is outside by the rockin' and rollin' of the water in the toilets inside, but never really knew why or how that can happen.  Curiosity got the best of me and we now have the answer.

Even if you haven't been outside today, it's pretty easy to see (or hear) it has been super windy. Forecasted wind gusts around 40 mph and dry, warm air have actually prompted the National Weather Service to post red flag warnings for much of the area. That said, how windy has it been today so far?

While the Twin Ports has seen a few cold days so far this winter, a stretch of days in the near future will see temperatures well below those seen so far.

Duluth-Superior sits smack-dab in the middle of "snow country". A typical winter in the Northland sees at least two or three good sized snow storms before it's all said and done. Some years, we're treated to a blizzard. If you're reading this in one of the sunshine states and wondering to yourself "what is a blizzard" - then let me explain...

Living in the Northland we know all too well about below freezing temperatures right? How about windchill?  I've asked a couple meteorologist friends to explain windchill to me, but when they start tossin those four syllable words at the Rayman my eyes start to glaze over ya know? I found this article easy to understand (no four syllable words)!
