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