Tropics could play role in Minnesota weather, amid El Niño year

Tropics could play role in Minnesota weather, amid El Niño year

We don’t often talk about hurricanes or tropical weather in Minnesota. That’s probably not too surprising, given that the Land of 10,000 Lakes is about as far from the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans as you can get within the Lower 48 of the United States. The tropics could play an active role in the Minnesota forecast in a few days, something we saw a little bit earlier in the season with Marie bringing some very indirect rain.
