91 with a dew of 70 back in Minnesota. Made the decision yesterday to drive six hours southeast to Highland Park IL for some lake cooled air and to visit friends. Crazy how much nicer dews in the mid 60s feel. Happy Independence Day everyone!
-
No relief in sight for my a/c.
-
Interesting. MSP has 5 on the books with numerous 88 and 89s as well.
-
Dew up to 75 in Minneapolis. Breeze and partly cloudy skies are the only things keeping the heat stroke at bay.
-
Another half inch of rain overnight with some of the loudest house shaking thunder I’ve experienced in a few years. Probably will lose 30 pounds of sweat working outside in these dews today.
-
The Mississippi River has been as low as I’ve seen in my 4 years living in Minneapolis. Was hoping to see some of the islands near Fort Snelling really grow this summer. Darn.
-
Getting some nice wind gusts from the south. Won’t feel this nice outside for a week with the dews in the forecast.
-
I guess I under represented rainfall totals in my previous post
-
Best storms of the season imby overnight. Widespread heavy rains across the metro. 2.75” in my neighbors gauge and 4-5” totals from Mankato northeast through the southern metro into Barron county Wisconsin. Should add more through the first half of the day.
-
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 PWS
-
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.
