Grand Forks, North Dakota to Ames Iowa
Today's trip will cover exactly 8 hours. Right on the nose. How about that. It's a 528 mile journey, so if you do the math, that means we'll average about 66mph, thanks to driving that will exclusively cover interstates. Let's just hope that Ames isn't underwater when we arrive. For once, Grand Forks isn't.
The trip will get off to a somewhat rocky start with a cold front sweeping into northern Minnesota. Overnight, there could be a little bit of severe weather in eastern North Dakota and northern Minnesota. The boundary isn't moving terribly quickly, and we'll be able to sink south of and shower or thunderstorm activity tomorrow after we have reached the Alexandria, Minnesota area. Since it's still early in the morning, I don't think we're going to be in for any huge thunderstorms, just some nagging rain and thunder. South of the front, everything looks good. Look for the typically clear and warmer weather ahead of a front, which will envelope us all the way into Ames.
