Looks like 1-3" of rain fell across areas of N MN (much of the state actually). Rain started late last night here with 0.46" (7am) and still raining. Pleasant wx on tap after this front leaves for the next week.

Pleasant day today with E winds keeping temps in the 70's. Hotter day tomorrow with 80's (90's inland with a heat adv) n stms. Could be a wash for fireworks up my way.

Come July 4, looking at a CAN front affecting the N areas, and it looks pretty nice, and could be rather warm (hot) for some. 

Pretty good cast. Hotter wx with a threat of stms entering the picture for the weekend. Enjoy your holiday weekend ev1.  

0.93" of rain yesterday. Cloudy, cool day again today with some drizzle this morning. Up to 3.50" here in town for the month. Edging close to avg which is 4.23". June is our wettest month with July not far behind at 4.05". 

0.10" of rain yesterday. It was a cool, wet day. Thought we'd picked up more rain than that, but it was light. A little more on tap today. 

Rain on my doorstep, bring it. Very nice day yesterday in the 70's, low dews, and clear blue skies. Nice with no smoke.  

0.41" of rain from the stms that moved through last night. Up to 3" in other areas of NE MN. The Iron Range has had copious amts of rain lately. 5-7" worth. 

Cornucopia, WI, on the Bayfield peninsula had a 78 mph wind gust, and hail reports around the area up to 1". 

Grandma's Marathon went well this morning. At 0800 I was awakened by jets from the 148th Fighter Wing out of DLH doing low flybys. Thought it was thunder at first, until the screeching jet noise. And they went over a few times. Pretty cool!

Topped out at 88 today. 3 days of muggy 90s ahead of us and then hopefully a ring of fire.
 

Sure seems like a lot of areas in this sub have seen more precipitation the past week then Minneapolis has seen for all of 2025. MSP is sitting at 11.03” of precipitation since January 1st.

The Northshore awaits you & fam. I get to escape the nasty heat this weekend. TY Lake Superior! (I bet half of the state will be up here LOL)

Rough stms possible tonight.

Juneteenth this year, believe it or not, I gave a forecast for that 4 yrs ago to a troll. Here's my cast for that day. Generally fair with a CAN front pushing in during the day. (I rechecked, and I'm staying with it)

 

Decent call here. Not bad 4 yrs out.  

Beautiful summer day. Highs around 80 with reasonable dews. Sat out on the deck for a little sunbathing. Feels good!

N one going right over Eveleth. Hope it's not on the ground.

Nothing on the ground. Potential funnel near Hibbing, but that's all. Heavy rains of 2-3"+ with 4"+ reported around Virginia here in NE MN. 0.29" here in town with some thunder during the evening.

Possible two tornadoes near Hibbing (one previous tornado by Aitkin MN)

N one going right over Eveleth. Hope it's not on the ground.

Tornado sig near the Iron Range area of NE MN, which is NW of me. 2 possible tornadoes in the area up that way with this one more defined. 

Happy Father's Day to all the dad's on the board!  

That's better. Cooler today, then more seasonable in the coming week with chances of shwrs/stms.

On Father's Day, I'm expecting a front moving into the W sub with fair wx in the E areas. 

Decent call here with shwrs/stms entering the sub. Didn't indicate a boundary along the OHRV, tho. Wet wx down that way, as well.

The official high temperature was 57 yesterday in Minneapolis. Warming trend begins today.

2nd place temp behind 49 (1947). Top 5 cool wx here in TH with temps in the lower 50's. 55 in Brainerd was record low max. Also looks like 2nd place temps in Eau Claire, and Wausau. Include St Cloud in there too. 

Cool n wet wx through the weekend with NE winds off the Lake.

With some high clouds, and smoke, the sun is filtered with temps in the low-mid 70's on a NW breeze. Very nice June day.

Looking real active for Father's Day weekend for many

For my area....BRING IT!!  

Most of May data in showing an avg month. Spring on the warm side driven by a very mild March, with April & May being avg. 5 & 10 yr trend charts shown respectively. 

0.63" of rain last night. Smoky skies today with another round of stms possible. Pretty seasonable June so far. Had one hot day on the 2nd, but other than that, pretty decent. Precip is most welcome. Forecast looks good.  

Showers developed early this morning, and getting a nice soaker atm. Flower garden planted yesterday, so this rain is right on time.

D-Day on June 6th is looking like a system entering the sub with shwrs/stms.

Another so-so call here. Was expecting something a bit more robust. Instead LP will run the OHRV along a boundary as HP hovers over the Lakes. A CAN system will enter the sub over the weekend with another LP coming in from the SW wrapping up over the Lakes is what it looks like. That's closer to what I was keyed in on, just too early. Being off by 24-48 hrs is pretty typical in my casts. 

A nice early June day on tap with highs in the upper 70's. Skies have mellowed out with the smoke. Just a light veil. Sunrise n set have had a reddish orange sun. Still in need of precip. Early week rains were a dud here with maybe a tenth in the bucket.
