73/48 Smoke is still hours away in NW Minnesota. Give me this weather everyday May-October
-
So far the smoke has been minimal, leading to a picture perfect day of low 70s, good air quality and breezy. I sure hope it stays this way. First bust on an air quality alert I can remember. I don’t see any major air quality issues in the immediate upstream, but that can change rapidly.
-
Didn’t see a drop of rain with the passing cold front yesterday. Today would be a perfect summers day if it weren’t for the smoke. Mid 70s and breezy. Upcoming heat wave doesn’t look out of the ordinary. Low to mid 90s but nothing approaching record territory.
-
Yes they are expecting pretty heavy ground level smoke with the cold front pushing through currently. Looks like that burnt plastic smell will stick around for a solid 48 hours.
-
1.38” storm total thus far, mostly winding down but should see on/off showers throughout the day. Ground looks like it could take quite a bit more.
-
The all time record high temperature in Minneapolis is 108 on July 14, 1936. In 1988 it got up to 105 on July 31st. We haven’t been above 103 since.
-
Got a good deal of yard work done today. I’ve found 55-70 degrees to be the sweet spot for my job. Quality soak incoming tonight. Should pickup another 0.75” maybe more. Worst of the drought is behind us now.
-
Definite an early fall feel in the air today. We’ll spend most of the day in the upper 60s with rain moving in this afternoon.

Wow lots of 1-2” hail reports coming in 15-20 blocks north of me. Holy hell did I get lucky imby.
-
We got some hail at my house but just pea size garden variety. Maybe a mile or so to my north got slammed though. Lots of heavy rain. Had to be close to or over an inch in about 20 minutes. Airport reported snow pellets. I think that’s wrong lol.

My wife and son got stung a bunch earlier this summer, we were driving back from Chicago and the rest stop playground in Mauston WI had a hive somewhere.
-
0.26” event total rainfall here. Anything helps.
-
Feels like autumn today. Spitting rain showers spinning in from the southeast and temperatures in the upper 60s. I love it.
-
This was looking like a nice soaking rain for msp a few days ago. Oh well, enjoy.
-
Another afternoon above 90 here in Minneapolis.
-
A small little tropical cell popped up right over downtown Minneapolis last night. Best storm of the year imby, constant lightning and house shaking thunder, with winds gusted to around 45mph. My neighbors rain gauge recorded 0.51” however the airport obs site 1.5mi south of my house recorded 0.05” since the storm basically sat on us then dissipated.
-
Temperature has jumped to 95 here in the late afternoon. Dew point has fallen to 56 though so kinda feels nicer out then earlier.
-
Up to 93 this afternoon in Minneapolis. Dews are dropping off, we’ve gone from 72 to 63 the last few hours.
-
73/70 just before 6am. Today is going to be sauna
-
Got a decent shower imby but areas under tree canopy stayed dry.
-
Tagged 90 here this afternoon.
-
Dews have creeped up to 70 today. Pretty miserable out there.
-
Chicagoland is due for it, you guys will get 80” and we’ll finish at 45” Mother Nature evens things out in the long run.
-
No idea the reason for the damage or how long it’s been present. This is probably 10 blocks from my house. 3 consecutive summers of drought probably haven’t helped much.
