  1. I’m a few blocks east of Lake Nokomis in Minneapolis. About the driest spot in the metro. Got caught up in a nice downpour driving south on 35W through Blaine earlier this afternoon.
  2. 0.89” so far in July. It’s crispy out there, and the heat is about to get cranked up. Smoke got pretty bad yesterday afternoon, hopefully the southerly flow pushes it out. Cool to see another active twin cities poster.
  3. Yeah my in-laws up in Plymouth will get a good soaking. Had some good outflow gusts but nothing else.
  4. Lots of rumbles out there but it looks like the northern suburbs are the winners while just a few drops in mby and at the airport.
  5. Today is the 15th day at or above 90 this warm season in Minneapolis. Hoping to be a lucky one and get some rain tonight.
  6. Had a nice thundershower this morning around 5am. 0.06” of wetting the pavement rain.
  7. On a drought positive note, I’ve had zero issues with powdery mildew in my garden this year. Every year I’ve had it appear up in spots, but so far nothing. I can only attribute it to the lack of moisture hitting the leaves since I drip irrigate.
  8. Perfect day. 74 and partly cloudy with no drought relief in sight. 1.74” since June 1st (6.92” is average)
  9. 0.16” overnight with the quick storm. Jah Blessed
  10. That part of MN is basically a northern extension of Iowa. Southern Minnesota has gotten more rains this summer, it’s been between the twin cities and Duluth that seems to have it the worst. Feeling blessed though, just had a garden variety storm roll through. MSP gusted to 60mph whoa.
  11. Oh joy, more thick wildfire smoke is forecast to move into Minnesota overnight and degrade our air quality. 0.57” of precip in July and no relief in sight.
  12. I’ve seen more thunderstorms at 40 then 100.
  13. Nary a drop of rain in Minneapolis, meanwhile over an inch down here in Okoboji.
  14. Working in the Lake Okoboji area of NW Iowa today and tomorrow. Might actually have a storm roll through here tonight.
  15. As the theme of the summer continues, convection fired off east of town.
  16. High of 93 today. Waiting for the convection to fire just to my east today.
  17. Going to have to close windows and fire up the AC today. Calling for a high of 87 here, probably break 90 tomorrow before the cold front and associated clouds approach. 1.50” of precipitation since June 1st. Dust Bowl’n. Really hoping we score on some convection tomorrow.
  18. We are now in the warmest part of the year based on average highs in Minneapolis.
  19. Oh man I gotta go find this thing now. July snow in Minneapolis!
  20. Cold start to the day on the Iron Range.
  21. FTFY If I could press Control-C today for all of summer I would do it in an instant.
  22. Overnight low of 55, perfect night to give the AC a break and open windows.
  23. 75/48 right now. Summertime perfection. It’s going to drop into the upper 40s away from the urban core tonight.
