Even if you’ve been living in New Hampshire for a long time, you may not know about a Seacoast forest that is only visible once or twice a day. Visit Odiorne Point State Park in Rye when the tide is very low, and you can see remnants of a drowned, often called sunken, forest. Walk across the rocky shore by Periwinkle Cove at the park’s south end, and wade into the shallows.

WEATHER STORY: WAA stands for warm air advection. Advection is the fancy term for the “horizontal movement of atmospheric properties.” What it really means is that a warm wind will lead the charge this weekend of a heatwave pushing up from the south. The temperatures will go into the 80’s and 90’s with plenty of humidity. There will be advisories for heat this weekend. That warmth will also lift up a chance for severe storms Friday night. Be weather ready in case tornadoes pay off.

PROCTOR, Minn. (Northern News Now) - The gangster era in American history ran from the start of prohibition in 1919 to its end around 1934. Bootlegging and bank robbing were two of the favorite moneymakers for criminals then. This old railroad building in Proctor has had its brick facade covered over by steel except for one small window. In that window are bullet holes from when gangsters came to Proctor. It’s May 14th, 1929 and a predictable pattern is about to play out on DMIR Railroad payroll day.

Werner passed away in 2023 and now the Hall is an ally in keeping his name alive with a memorial 5K race. This year’s race starts Saturday morning. It is one of the main ways Veterans Memorial Hall raises money to stay open and repair last year’s flood damage.

Every spring for the past 25 years, Something Wild co-host Chris Martin from New Hampshire Audubon has been visiting the 13-story Brady Sullivan Tower in Manchester. As a raptor biologist, he goes there each year to check on a pair of peregrine falcons that nest on the building, and to examine and band their chicks. This year, he took Something Wild along with him to watch the process of banding this year’s trio of chicks.

DULUTH, Minn. (Northern News Now) - June is here and our very short growing season has started. Gardeners need to make the most of it and the gardeners Dave Anderson talked to, the professionals from the farmers markets, say it is going to be a pretty good year on all counts. The hordes of apple blossoms fluttering from the trees from Bayfield to Buhl are a sign that fruit crops will do well this summer.

DULUTH, Minn. (Northern News Now) - In 1915, Duluth’s second National Guard Armory was built to impress. “They thought it would impress people coming to Duluth on steamships if the first thing they passed by was this beautiful large armory,” said Tony Dierckins, author of several Northland history books. Within three years, the building would be pressed into service as a shelter and hospital for the double whammy of the Moose Lake/Cloquet fires and the influenza pandemic of 1918.

WEATHER STORY: An Alberta Clipper low is lifting warm and moist air into the Northland. That will destabilize the atmosphere to set us up for a 60 to 90% chance for rain. Thunderstorms are possible, too, with severe storms in northwestern Minnesota. They should be general storms for the rest of us. Rain totals will be fair. Cooler air behind the clipper will drop temps on Sunday and Monday. The normal low this week is 48 and the normal high is 70.

DULUTH, Minn. (Northern News Now) - My guitar may more loudly clunk than gently weep but there’s a band in town that’s been around for 45-plus years and they’ve just been inducted into the Mid America Music Hall of Fame. “Well, for musicians in Minnesota and our region, it’s the real deal, it’s a big deal,” said veteran local music scene member Jeff Jarvinen. Longtime local record producer Jarvinen nominated the Centerville All Stars to that hall of fame based in Hackensack Minnesota.
