Just a couple sprinkles here. Basically will be 30+ days without any precipitation. Beginning to see more trees starting to accelerate the leaf drop. Quite the airmass change. Went from peak summer to mid fall overnight.
-
Minneapolis was able to escape triple digit heat this year. Topping out at 99 today. Brainerd clocking a 102 well north of the twin cities and the start of cabin country was eye catching. Very steamy morning today on Michigan Ave, dews were running about 10 degrees higher then Minneapolis when we left the hotel. Great views from floor 39.
-
I think we break 100 on Sunday. The relatively dry airmass should help temperatures overachieve compared to the last heatwave. Lucky me, I’ll be in Chicago this weekend for a wedding and miss the misery.

Neighbors mature white oak tree has succumbed to a suspected case of “Twolined Chestnut Borer” No doubt that 3 summers of drought caused the mortality. I’ll post detailed stats this weekend but J/J/A will finish with 5.79” of precipitation, against an average of 12.86” which is only 45% of normal.
-
GFS showed 105-115 for Minneapolis during the last heatwave. We never made it above 98. I do think we have a better chance of breaking 100 this time around with much lower dews.
-
Why do you post the GFS, it’s proven over and over again to have a 5-10 degree warm bias. Heat does look to stick around for the first half of September.
-
A winter like that would probably translate to 40s/50s through Memorial Day.
-
This sounds lovely right now tbh. There hasn’t been any precipitation here since August 14 with nothing on the horizon.
-
Theme of the summer, smoke is back.
-
Dang Bo, I thought it was autumnal here with our breezy high of 72 today, but you are six weeks ahead of us. Great to be able to open windows again.
-
Except here in Minneapolis where we unexpectedly hit 90 again today.
-
82/68 here. The difference in how I feel working outside between yesterday and today is remarkable.
-
73/66 and some fog. Still elevated dews but it feels a lot better out here today.
-
The official high today in Minneapolis is 98, same as yesterday. Impressive late season heat wave. Tomorrow will feel refreshing with a forecasted 89.
-
Congratulations palm guy!
-
Nice dry air up in Minneapolis. 97/72/106
-
It was a lock but the 26th 90 of the year has been achieved in Minneapolis.
-
Getting ready for work. We’ve reached our morning low of…..82.
-
Maybe someone with experience working with ASOS data can help me out. The airport recorded numerous 5min obs of 98.6F, but the official high for the day is 98. Is there data smoothing/correction that occurs or something else?
-
97 with a heat index of 112 at 7pm. I could drive two hours north and it never got out of the mid 60s today.
-
The record high for August 22nd was 97, so at the least we’ve broken that.
-
98.6 is the high for the day so far, currently at 98.06
-
95/75 at 2pm. Let’s get to 100!
-
It’s swampy out there this morning. Today will be the 25th day in 2023 above 90 degrees in Minneapolis. Perhaps we make a run at 100 this afternoon.
-
We appear to be busting low on temperatures for the second consecutive day in Minneapolis. 75/66 with a thick overcast sky. Forecast high temp was 86 today. We’ve made it up to 77 but the temp is bouncing around.
