  1. Autumn is without a doubt my favorite time of year for camping.
  2. Interesting. There have been large flocks hanging at the lake by my house for a few weeks now.
  3. Camping with the family east of Hinckley MN along the St. Croix river this weekend. Colors are peaking now and it’s been in the mid 20s for lows there the past two nights so the bugs should be done too.
  4. 39 at MSP, 34 at the suburban office. Very frosty. 20s outside the urban core.
  5. Frost Advisory tonight. Freeze warnings just north. First winterish headline of the season here.
  6. First sub-60 high at MSP since June 13th. Frost advisories just north of the metro.
  7. Record high of 91 at MSP. This is the latest occurrence in the year of a 90+ temperature on record for Minneapolis. Presumably we will also set a record high min of 72 today as well.
  8. 87 both yesterday and today at MSP. Temps actually underperformed a bit today versus guidance. Tomorrow is our best shot at an October 90 with blast furnace winds from the south.
  9. Extension of summer here for sure. It has been 90 or warmer a grand total of 3 times in October in Minneapolis. We could add 2 this year. The all time warmest overnight low for the month could be in jeopardy too. I still think we see a dusting of snow by Halloween.
  10. Extended looks warm and dry. We’ll probably continue with highs in the 70s until the inevitable sharp cold front and first flakes around October 18-20th. Seems to happen like that almost every year around here.
  11. Wet day in the Twin Cities. After a dry stretch this is welcome moisture as the Butternut Squash in my garden gets ready to be harvested.
  12. Late season 90 achieved at MSP. The record of 94 appears to be safe but still a couple hours of warming to go.
  13. Saw some pockets of decent color on my drive to Willmar MN today.
  14. Thanks, I love my South Minneapolis neighborhood. The home with the wreath on the front door is an Airbnb, directly across the street from us.
  15. St. Helena’s Church puts on an Autumn Daze festival every year with a parade that goes down our street. Our block makes a big party out of it. Kids and adults love a good parade.
  16. Looks likely we bag a late season 90 at MSP this weekend.
  17. Very dense fog this AM. Airport has had visibility around a quarter mile.
  18. International Falls got down to 29 this morning. Bemidji was 32.
  19. We haven’t turned ours on yet, the house has been staying around 65-67 with the windows closed and lows in the mid 40s down here. Natural gas fireplace has been flipped on though.
  20. Heat Island kept MSP at a relatively mild 46 overnight.
  21. There’s an outside chance Minnesota sees it’s earliest accumulating snow on record. September 14th 1964 0.3” fell at International Falls, so if anything accumulates the record will be shattered.
  22. Solid garden variety storms rolling through the metro this morning. Needed the moisture after a couple dry weeks.
  23. NWS Duluth seems to have latched onto the idea of first flakes.
  24. NWS talking 850mb temps below freezing here next week.
