Stms popping over MSP right now. There n St. Cloud.

Mid to upper 80's with a 70 dew. Very warm summer day here in town.

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.

Yeah. Pendulum is due to line up for us to have an 80” season of straight nonsense eventually 

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.

That sugar maple looks a little young to be crapping out already.

Looks like it had some damage years ago and hasn't recovered well.

Toxic effects of road salt can happen with roadside trees. Sapstreak is a fungal disease they can get also. Or even a carpenter ant infection. Had to call in a 100ft red oak that near the crown was split down the middle. Could see it open and close a bit with the breeze. Massive branch fell this past weekend

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. 

Had no idea there was smoke in the region today. Considering myself lucky the sky looks like this  here.

73/50 at noon.

Top shelf stuff 

2.57” since July 1st. Much needed relief the past several days but still only at 3.50” since June 1 while we average 8.27”

Legend

0.61” of rain. Sun came out before it was even over. 

Wow the airport gusted to 54mph. There’s been very little wind imby and I’m only 1.5mi north of the obs site. 
 

Good quality 20min soaker. Lawn and garden definitely needed this. 

A few cells trying to get together across the western suburbs. Let’s see if I get anything in mby.

Frustrating, seeing as it's the only CAM that updates hourly. You'd think at some point during the day it would get a handle on things.

Edit: 19Z is more active for us. We'll wait and see, I guess.

It wasn’t even initializing with the ongoing convection last evening across central Minnesota. Head scratcher why the algorithms can’t figure that out. 

I get off work, hit the weed pen, pop into this thread and discover how similar we all are. 
 

Hrrr was a big fail in Minnesota yesterday fyi. 

88/68/91 in Minny. I thought we were done with this soup but dews decided to stick around another day. Tomorrow looks very pleasant, we shall see..

Plenty of cloud cover but no storms/precipitation made it into the metro core overnight. Wonder if the outflow boundary that swung through killed our storm chances. 
 

At least the heat and high dews are done for now. 72/64 

Stuff is exploding to my west, looks like a line is trying to get together with the bigger complex to my north. Getting interesting.

Edit: Outflow from the storms to my north just blew through. Strong north wind and quickly plunging temps. Always cool to be outside to experience the sudden change in airmass.

Heavy training from Hinckley, MN over to Rice Lake, WI. Stms keep blowing up across EC MN training into WI. Flash flooding going I'm sure.

I can see distant thunderheads to my north and south. Definitely will be some impacts with the training storms along the I-35 corridor.

97/72/106 hottest day of the year in Minneapolis. Winds have really started to gust and the temperature jumped 5 degrees in 10 minutes. 

Up to 93/74/103 in Minneapolis

90/73/98 at 11:30am. Clouds have mostly cleared out so it’s off to the races now.

No clouds in sight either

This might save us here, some high clouds streaming in, starting to get that bubbling cumulus look, but yeah I’m soaked already.

76/73 right now the start of a fun work day outside. Hopefully some clouds come in to block the sun a bit

77 was our morning low in Minneapolis. Already at 80/72, gonna be a swampy workday for us both.

88/72 at 10pm. This is proper heatwave stuff. 

91/70 in Minneapolis. 
 

It got very steamy today but the leftover cloudcover from the overnight MCS delayed warming and we underachieved by several degrees on the days high. 
 

Western MN has a few locations that topped out in the 100-102 range.
