86 for the high. DP held between 58-61 which made for a nice day.

Maybe one of these years Minneapolis will get mcs after mcs while the rest of the sub droughts. At least it’s been a good year for ORD diversions. Love all the different heavies we’ve been getting this summer.

Another needed storm complex missed us to the south. Daily precip chances keep things interesting at least.

People underestimate how strong the Urban Heat Island effect is here. Got to be one of the most drastic in the country.

0.08” at MSP yesterday. Extended forecast looks good temp wise, but could use more precipitation.

Big difference down here in the cities. We made it to 86.

@Spartmanentetaining read today for sure. After a long stretch of boring weather it’s nice to have an active forecast discussion. Joe Strus wrote the afternoon discussion, he seems to be winter weenie.

1.53” of rain. Slow deep soak.

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.

91 yesterday, same today. Hopefully that rain materializes tomorrow night into Friday. We need it badly.

Triple digits in the Twin Cities! First 100 temp since 2022, every 4 years right on the climo norm

Can’t say I’m jealous of the destructive storms, but definitely jealous of the precipitation. My yard is crispy. Stay safe out there

Already 94 at MSP. Maybe today is the day we break 100
