Still at 66 as of 1pm. Highest we got was 68 at 7am. The record low maximum temperature is 65 in 1964. With that superMCS going on, may very well be stuck in the mid to upper 60s the entire day today.

That spot two counties east of Indianapolis, where radar is estimating over a foot of rain, has been storming for 11 straight hours without a break, which is insane. Radar is now blowing up up with a bunch more to their nw.
Very unreal superMCS

This is the time of year when I get impatient for Fall. So over summer.
If we're not going to have any more heat coming, bring on Fall. August this month is just shot.

somewhat persistent lakes trough keeping things manageable for now but looks to weaken/slide east
idk about 80 but he'll certainly have multiple mid to upper 70 dp days into august here
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.

Event total of 1.98" here. Definitely much appreciated.
Biblically the wettest start to August ever here. A harbinger of what's to come for the entire month, perhaps?

Mid 60s and steady stratiform rain all day, with over an inch so far.
It had been over 3 weeks since we’ve seen any substantial precipitation here.
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.

Point had us up to 94 today, low stratus hung around a lot longer than expected and we briefly topped out at 86.
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.

1.10" of rain yesterday. And just a little haze today from smoke. Looking forward, smoke cast looks rough again for some.
Puke. Lookin' as worse as Friday.
HRRR for tomorrow morning at 6am:|
BAM believes Monday will be even worse.

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.

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

Aren’t you the one who cries like a petulant child any time Dayton fails to reach 90° during the summer? Quite ironic coming from a clown such as yourself, whose perspective holds no weight to me (or even anyone with half a brain). Almost seems like projection on your part, it’s strange. Regardless, you come off as the village idiot, and somehow you seem proud of it.
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?

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)

Summer 2026 Banter Thread
in Lakes/Ohio Valley

Haven't hit 90 here since July 17th. With certainly none happening this August and unless September is different based on a video BAM posted back on Monday (see 10:15 in this video),
it would be one of the earliest last 90-degree days in decades (Record: 7/8/1971)!
