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.

High of 61 yesterday. Unbelievably the airport only recorded 0.20” of precipitation after models teased 0.50”-1.00” totals for several days. Drought continues to worsen.

Rain just started here. Temps will be stuck in the upper 50s most of the day. Looks like a quality fall soaker, we need it.

My kids will be in their late 70s, I’ll be 109

Turtles galore on our walk by Wood Lake in Richfield today.

Widespread frost advisories in northern Minnesota. The heart of the heat island should dip into the upper 40s tonight.

Precip hole over the Twin Cities. Ride with it, sorry Iowa.

Extreme drought now covers my corner of Minneapolis. Pattern looks wet ahead hopefully.

It’ll either be October 20 or November 20. No in between.

The Des Moines area received massive rain totals overnight. 5.89” and counting at the airport.

0.35” at MSP, largest precipitation event since July 30th and nearly our entire August total.

81/66 with all day overcast. No precipitation
