The Huttner Weather Lab has issued a Fall Color Alert for all of Minnesota today.

The best day of fall color so far has us scrambling to dispatch Updraft crews to cover rapidly developing fall color burst. We have crews working overtime from Ely to the Twin Cities today. We now interrupt this program to bring you the latest developments and pictures.
