THE WEATHER

If you are a Minnesotan, you are probably obsessed with following the weather — today’s weather, tomorrow’s weather, the weekend weather.

Paul Douglas — the former KARE 11 weatherman who went to Chicago, came back to Minneapolis, and now is the weather guru at WCCO — also owns EarthWatch, the 3-D weather visualization system many TV stations use to show fronts and storms. Visit to download a QuickTime movie that puts Minnesota weather into motion.

PROSTITUTE PATROL

Check out the St. Paul Police Department’s public humiliation effort to deter prostitution. The controversial page features pictures of both Pros and Johns arrested in recent roundups. Tough-looking bunch over there in St. Paul.

FOR THE BIRDS

Mae, the NSP Peregrine Falcon, is back sitting on her eggs at the Northern States Power plant on the St. Croix River in Oak Park Heights. It’s her 10th year nesting there, this time with four eggs. Visit NSP’s Bird Cam.

Also, KARE 11 Television features “Cardinal Cam,” a live view of cardinals nesting in the KARE 11 Weather Set Backyard.
