Discreet little cell popping up over St. Paul. Bright and sunny imby but can hear the thunder a few miles away. 

Outflows are the best. Nice having the windows open when this afternoon surprise came through

it's almost like lawns are bad

Never understood why more people don’t plant native wildflowers/prairie grasses. Looks nicer, less maintenance and great for environment. 

Record daily rainfall of 1.33” through 10pm at MSP. Breaks the low hanging fruit of 1.14” 

We needed every drop 

Another string of 90s here. At least dews are relatively low, and we have a strong breeze. Seems like it’s been very windy lately. 

6am on June 13th 2020 and Silver Bay MN is sitting at 28F. Just incredible.

Ely MN not far behind at 30F and numerous 34F readings along the Iron Range. 

Frost advisories for northern MN, WI and the UP. Can’t recall seeing them this time of year before, but I know it happens. Someone is going to bottom out in the 20s tonight. Keep us posted bo!

96 for the high here yesterday. Well short of the record of 102.

Looks like 6”+ across central Colorado mountains overnight based on webcams. Friend staying in Aspen said even town at an elevation of 7900’ got an inch of snow. 

Already nearly 80F at 8am with dews around 70F. Can’t drink enough water working outside today.  

Garden variety storm yesterday, at least the lawn got watered 

Radar looks great to my north. Can’t wait to get missed again and end up with plain rains 

 I’ve been focused on things other then the weather the past week. Much of the riots and civil unrest have been occurring close to my home, (I live in the 3rd precinct) but the neighborhood has banded together and my family is safe. 

On topic, our first 90 of the season at MSP. Impressive considering we’ve only had one 80 degree day before this. 90 appears a lock tomorrow before hopefully our first thunderstorm of the season. (I’m not counting a couple minutes of heavy rain and two weak rumbles.)

The air smells of smoke this morning but it isn’t from wildfires.....

1.3” of rain but only a couple distant rumbles of thunder. Can’t seem to get a thunderstorm to make its way up here this year. 

Yesterday was also the first official 80 degree day of the year at MSP with a high of 81. 

Maybe just maybe we can actually get a storm to hold itself together as it reaches the metro today. 

We've had two days now of great looking storm complexes completely fall apart before they reach the Twin Cities and leave us with 20min of drizzle. If i'm going to be stuck inside this holiday weekend at least give me interesting weather to look out the window at. 

I should mention that I am stuck inside because the wife had ACL surgery not because of any legal restrictions in place.

Low to mid 90s for central/southern MN on the Euro around day 10.  Most of the sub only makes it to the low to mid 80s though.

This has aged like milk. 

Wow historic event happening in Michigan. That Dow chemical plant worries me. I’m sure they have a floodwall and emergency plan in place but dam failure is certainly the worst case scenario. Hope contaminates can be contained onsite. 

Late last week it was looking muggy with upper 80s to 90 around here for the holiday weekend. Now it appears low 70s and showers. I'll take it, my wife is having ACL surgery on Thursday so crummy weather is fine. 

Over 3” here now 

Storm total up to 2.00” haven’t had a single rumble of thunder just steady rain all night.

Our turn to get in on the action. 1-3” expected area wide by tomorrow.

Have seen less then a quarter inch of rain this month. Could use some of that excess moisture down in IL up here.

Down to 30F imby last night. Widespread 20s outside the urban heat island. Time for some May mood flakes today, I will be eyeballing the deck this evening to see if we can accumulate anything

I’ll take no blowtorch please with a side of Canadian high pressure.
