Couldn’t script it better here. 81 with a 45 degree dew point. Beach weather.

87 today. Going to have my Anishinaabe coworkers teach me a rain dance soon.

Preliminary data suggested MSP was 89’d today so the elusive first 90 waits another day. Average first 90 here is fast approaching on May 30th.

Broiling in Minneapolis under the Omega. Send rain please

Hot Memorial Day in Minneapolis under the influence of the ridge, 86 with the dew point creeping into the low 60s. Point had a forecast high of 88 so I’ll take the W.

Trace of precipitation yesterday. Rivers are dropping fast around here. Heat is parked overhead

Miss south unless one of the cells can hold it together after sunset. Sky looks great though

Heat cranks up today. Probably will run my A/C for the first time this year in the next week or so. Hoping to score a thundershower for some of that precipitation stuff we always seem in need of.

Low of 39 at the airport. There was patchy frost at my suburban office.

Couple pictures from our spring sojourn up north this past weekend.

MSP picked up 1.15” of very much needed precipitation yesterday. 2026 total stands at 7.88” Thats 14.6% of our year to date precipitation.

38F at 6am when I woke up and left the tent to relieve myself at Split Rock Lighthouse State Park. 42F around 2pm in Duluth letting the kids run around the Lake Superior Maritime Museum in Canal Park. 70F around 5pm when we rolled into the driveway in Minneapolis.

Faint aurora over Gitche Gumee last night.

Just had a heck of a detour but made it to our campground. First time I’ve been personally impacted by wildfire like that

80 today. Blowing dust west of town. There have already been several blowing dust advisories this year. Seems like more than any year in the previous 15 but I might have recency bias.
