Forecast Minnesota is the definitive portal for the North Star State's weather and climate — built to make the official National Weather Service forecast fast, clean, and highway-clear for all 87 counties, from the Iowa line and the Blufflands to the Red River Valley, the Iron Range and the Boundary Waters.
Minnesota has the widest temperature range of any state east of the Rockies: sixty below at Embarrass and a hundred and change on the prairie, in the same twelve months. Ground blizzards close I-90 with no snow falling, Lake Superior makes its own weather on the North Shore, and the severe season runs the southern counties every spring. Forecast Minnesota is being built to tell that whole story — county by county, region by region.
The look borrows from the American Interstate system — the reflective paper, the green guide signs, the blue service signs, the brown recreation signs, and the red-white-and-blue route shields — set in Overpass, the typeface drawn from the Highway Gothic lettering on those signs. Minnesota takes a cold birch paper and a North Star blue accent, on lake-blue water — its own note in the network.
Minnesota is covered close-up by 2 region sites, each on its own subdomain of forecastminnesota.com — the same maps, the same live radar and the same climate record as this site, drawn to one metro or region instead of the whole state, with a page for every city in it. They are part of Forecast Minnesota, not separate sites: /about on any of them lands back here.
Every one of Minnesota's neighbors is live: Forecast Wisconsin across the St. Croix, Forecast Iowa along the whole southern line, and Forecast Dakotas across the Red River and the Bois de Sioux — North and South Dakota each tinted in their own accent on the hero map and clickable at the state line. The rest of the Forecast <State> network is part of the same system.
