We've had periods of heat back in June and last month and with more plentiful rainfall over the next week or so, it looks like we can just write off August as a whole.

Biblically the wettest start to August ever here. A harbinger of what's to come for the entire month, perhaps? 000 SXUS71 KILN 021040 RERDAY RECORD EVENT REPORT NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON OH 1039 AM EDT SUN AUG 02 2026 ...RECORD DAILY MAXIMUM RAINFALL SET AT DAYTON OH...

Hope you read this afternoon's AFD for your area, especially when they mention November and the earliest Twin Cities snowfall on record in there: .DISCUSSION... Issued at 303 PM CDT Fri Jul 31 2026 If I showed you the current water vapor satellite imagery and asked you what date you thought this was from, I would not blame you if you said November. There is a nice baroclinic leaf across the upper MS valley into the western Great Lakes and a dry slot moving across northeast KS into southeast MN. Although today has been a washout and a rather crummy weather day, we haven`t heard too many complaints coming out of a 2 week stretch where most places saw less than a quarter of an inch of rain with highs frequently topping out in the 90s. We`ve seen some impressive rainfall totals today and have seen the gauges to backup the MRMS rainfall estimate bullseye of 6-8" of rain down around St. Peter and Le Sueur. Despite some rather larger rainfall numbers, this rain has come over a period of of 12 hours, not in just 3 or 4 hours, which means impacts from this rainfall (in terms of flooding) have been fairly minimal. Even though this heavy rainfall fell almost entirely within the MN River Basin, rises along the river are expected to remain within the stream banks. No matter how you slice it, this was an incredibly beneficial rain that has come with very few negative impacts. For the weekend, we will not accept any complaints about the weather! We`ll have rising heights and subsidence, which means mostly sunny skies with temepratures near normal and dewpoints retreating into the 50s and 60s. There has been some concern about smoky skies returning, but visible satellite imagery this afternoon looks pretty clean from the Dakotas back across Wyoming and Montana, so even chances for elevated smoke look pretty limited this weekend as well. Get out there and enjoy the outdoors this weekend, we`re only 54 days away from the earliest snowfall on record here in the Twin Cities! (September 24, 1985) We`ll start next week with a cold front dropping across the area Monday night through Tuesday morning. Right now, we look to miss- time this front. We`ll be getting the leftovers of whatever happens in the Dakotas and northwest MN Monday afternoon late Monday night in central/western MN, while the front should be far enough along Tuesday afternoon to where we`ll be too far west to see any storms that form with daytime heating on Tuesday. Behind this front, we`ll get another hit of pleasant Canadian air for the middle of next week. They seem to be passing what will evolve into the cutoff low as a fall-like storm. A bit early for this kind of stuff.

Garbage pattern shaping up for the upcoming weekend through the first week of August. Models hinting a cutoff low for Friday heading into the next week.

Had us up to the mid-80s, but only topped out at 80 here. Expected to be up to 86 tomorrow, though TWC/Wunderground is conservative with 81 due to anticipated stratus and solid cloud cover to finish the weekend.

Puke. Lookin' as worse as Friday. HRRR for tomorrow morning at 6am:| BAM believes Monday will be even worse. https://x.com/bam_weather/status/2078363153742590205

AQI at 371 and visibility at 1 1/4SM as of Noon. May very well be dealing with smoke and low visibilities the entire day today, especially with storms coming later that day. Certainly some June 2023 vibes going on.

Heatwave cancel

Clusters of storms throughout Indiana and about to reach over the border to Ohio. Repeat of 4th of July 2003 incoming?

Wettest May on record with 10.31" for the month (previously 9.05" set in 1995). Washout of a month. Good riddance.

Village idiot? Village idiot?! I have a right to reply or post on this forum. If you don't like our posts, why are you here anyway? Commie!

Got 2.65" of rain this morning. Now at 8.63" for the month, currently the 3rd wettest May on record. The record is 9.05" in May 1995. With some more rain on the way through the upcoming week, might as well just go for broke. Top 5 Wettest Mays (DAY): 1. 9.05" - 1995 2. 9.01" - 1938 3. 8.63" - 2026 (as of 5/23) 4. 8.55" - 1989 5. 8.40" - 1990

Garbage pattern over the next week as we'll get to have an Omega Block to close out the month. https://weather.com/2026/05/22/forecast/national/omega-block-pattern-flood-threat-temperature-flip 18z GFS: 12z Euro:

NWS ILX in Lincoln, IL bringing up a blocking pattern taking place for Memorial Day weekend heading into next week. Heading into next week, global deterministic models suggest the development of a Rex block over the Plains. The progression of the associated upper low will ultimately dictate rain and storm potential through early next week. Current indications suggest that areas south of I-72 are best positioned for rainfall as the low portion of the block pivots up the Mississippi Valley while the high-pressure side loiters over the Corn Belt. There is stronger model agreement regarding temperatures, with mid-to- upper 80s heat forecast to return by the middle of next week.

The long Memorial Day weekend this year is looking like a washout, for sure.

Looking biblical. This is a repeat of May 2003.

Nope, Maxim woke up and chose trolling

CPC sticks a fork in May this year

5.96" of precipitation for the month, just 0.04" shy of the 10th wettest March on record of 6" back in 1907.
