35 at MSP in the heart of the heat island 30 at Flying Cloud airport in the SW suburbs.

Heat Island flexing its muscle. Hennepin and Ramsey Counties sticking out like a sore thumb against all the freeze warnings. Expecting a low in the mid 30s at MSP.

57 today. Overcast but the drizzle held off until this evening.

Front came through, windows open, back to our regularly scheduled autumn.

Latest 90 on record in general. Dry heat at least. Lows in the mid/upper 30s by next weekend.

We have a chance to tie the record for latest 90 on record at MSP on Saturday. Crazy change from the last month of tranquil wx.

I’ll take my vitamin D while I can. Low stratus and 30s will be here soon enough.

82 today. First 80 since September 11.

43 this morning. Upper 30s in the suburbs. Almost time to fire up the furnace.

Topped out at 72 today. Felt muggy with a DP in the mid 60s. 3.91” of precipitation in September. About an inch above average.

0.86” today, need every drop. Brief warm surge tomorrow then cooler weather settles in. Frost threat outside the heat island late week.

Highs in the 60s, lows in the 40s the past several nights. Seasonal change is upon us.

0.89” of precipitation yesterday. For all the hype of a big rain event it ended up being a run of the mill damp fall day in Minneapolis with a high of 63. 5-7” rainfall totals across the I-90 corridor of southern Minnesota.

Picked up 0.99” overnight. Most rain we’ve had since the end of July and nearly doubling our August-September total so far. Glad to have it.

72/46 Peak early fall vibes, view from the hammock.
