Temps briefly peaked around 80 a couple times today when the Sun peeked out. Been a mostly cloudy day with some scattered shwrs/stms. Much more pleasant day than yesterday. Rest of the week looking rather reasonable like today. 75-80 with a scattered shwr/stm in the mix.

Peaked in the low 90's along the shore with dews around 70. Upper 80's inland. She's a hot one today! A top 5 day for heat. Mid July records in town are in the mid 90's.

10 am, and already 80 here in town. Going to be a hot one today. Should peak around 90 or maybe a little better with a light W wind flowing down slope.

Yeah, there has been some smoke moving through the sub this past week.

Mid 80's with low 70 dews. Parade just finished a few minutes ago, and just in time as a shwr/stm complex is starting to move in. Upper clouds have been hazing the Sun a bit today. Interesting note, in my many years here in TH, it has never rained on the parade. Before, and after, yes, but not ON the parade. In fact, an older citizen of the town also noted that it had never rained on the parade. Lots of decades being counted here.

What a difference a few degrees in Latitude makes.

What a hot day. Temps peaked in the upper 80's to around 90 with dews in the low-mid 70's here in town. Mid 80's inland with lower dews. A light S wind off the lake kept humidity up here in town. Stifling! ISH! Heritage days here in TH. We have it every year starting on the second Thurs of July. Started yesterday, but the activities really get going on the Friday (being today). Street dance tonight with live bands. Helicopter rides during the day. Just a boat load of stuff going on. It will wrap up on Sun.

Prelim data in for June. Another warm month in the books. Snow season officially ended as well. Have charts for that, and they're all shown with 5 & 10 yr trends respectively. 2023/24 season was 2nd warmest in the record.

Temps in the low-mid 80's with dews in the mid 60's to around 70. A little warm today. About as much as I care for. Should be a little cooler tomorrow with a lake breeze in the 70's, then a stretch of 80's with a peak in the upper 80's this weekend. Glad that won't last long.

Quick hitting stm yesterday netted 0.36", along with a fairly close lightning strike. Barely a one count before the loud crack. Warm day on tap with 80's on a light W/SW wind. Looks like smoke moving through just to the S & W of me. Thicker in the Dakota's. Hope it stays that way.

Just seen a report of a waterspout that was seen over Lake Vermillion in N MN. Residents of the small towns (Tower/Soudan), on the S side of the lake, witnessed it. Storms my way stayed in the higher terrain. Was cool in town with a strong lake breeze being drawn in on the updrafts. 0.89" was the final tally from yesterday am's stms in town. Looks like scattered stuff the next couple days, but nothing too organized, thankfully. Need to dry out a bit.

Great week coming up. Getting a bit warm next weekend, but not horrible. Garden should really take off. Unfortunately, that damn smoke is back in the picture this week.

In regards to the major solar event 2 months ago, thought I'd share this YT vid as a summary of what happened, and how it compares to other events. Anton does a good job explaining stuff in the astro world, and the latest stuff that comes out. Been subscribed for a long time. Worth the watch.

Got woke up early this am with loud cracks of thunder. Bout of rain netted 0.86" in short order. More rounds of shwrs/stms later this aftrn forecasted as LP moves through. Summer really kicking in this week into next weekend with highs slated in the mid 70's-mid 80's. Could see some 90's crop up around here next weekend. That's getting into top 5 territory in NE MN. Avg high peaks in mid July around the mid 70's in town with upper 70's inland.

^ you guys can have it! More than enough in MN/WI.

Temps running upper 70's-low 80's with mid-upper 60's for dews. Scattered shwr/stm complexes across NE/NC MN. They are moving really slow, so lots of rain for those spots where they are parked over. Will not be surprised to see flood warnings go up for some spots in the next 24-36 hrs, as the next low moves through.

In Manawa, WI, (W of Green Bay) their dam is about ready to break, or has broken. Evacuations are under way.

Temps in the mid 70's in town with a large batch of shwrs/stms moving from the N. Should get a little wet around supper time.

Temps running in the mid-upper 60's at midday with a light lake breeze. Some of the showers building to my N may sneak this way.

I've been having issues the last couple days or so with NWS enhanced radar not loading, or partially loading. If I leave the page up in a tab, and wait for a few minutes, sometimes it'll completely load.

Complex of shwrs (maybe thunder) slowly moving from the NE to SW right through the area that has been hit hard with rains the last 2+ weeks. Not good. Hopefully more doesn't develop behind, and train.

Hmmm...I wonder?

Temps peaked in the low 70's today with a cirrus deck hazing the Sun, along with a light lake breeze 5-10 mph. Should be just fine for the fireworks later. Looks like a good portion of MN/WI washed out this holiday with lots of rain persisting all day. Areas of S MN into S WI really don't need any more water. Rainy River on the CA border under a Flood warning now after heavier rains the other day.

Temps in the low-mid 80's with dews around 60. Warmer near the lake with down sloping winds from the W 10-15 mph. Temps inland running upper 70's-80. Perfect summer day.

July 4 looks pretty decent for most of the sub, except down nearer the OHRV area during the am hrs, where a more solid chance of rain exists. By fireworks time, tho, most of the W sub looking pretty iffy as shwrs/stms encroach upon that timeframe. Close call on this forecast.
