Temps in the mid 50's with cloudy skies, and scattered showers in the area this morning. Lots of rain/stms on tap in the coming days for the W Lakes region.

Here's the rating and paths on the confirmed tornados. EF0's & EF2's.

Yeah, did here, too, as I posted in the other thread. Lake air still got a chill yet.

I can see why the temps are like that with the setup it's got. Clouds n rain with a long fetch wind off the Lake from HP NE of the Lake. Lake air is chilly in the midst of Lake Superior during June into July.

Lake breeze kicked in a little more, and dropped temps into the mid 60's. Even well inland.

That's just plain UGLY my way. Wow!

Currently low-mid 70's with a light Lake breeze at 11 am. Upper 50's for dews. Very nice mid morning. Catching some rays out on the deck. Had been looking at my own modelling method a bit more closely, and this pattern coming up will be around a bit more frequently for the next month or so. Get ready for lots of hot days in the S sub, and frequent rains for the W & N sub. Flooding could be a big threat during the 1st half of July up this way. Derechos not out of the question for the sub.

NWS DLH has put up a report with an early summary of the tornado events. Even tho the stm report map had no events signified, there were tornadoes. https://www.weather.gov/dlh/june122024severe

Had some scattered showers this afternoon, but we did reach the low 80's here. Dews around 50, so very pleasant.

Going to be a nice day with breezy W winds, and temps around 80. Tornado warned cells yesterday have no reports of funnel/tornado activity on the stm report map. Some wind damage reports though.

Stms my way got "Pac-Man'd" by the Lake. Stms coming in drew in cold lake air. Temps around 60 now.

SW of Duluth has a nasty warned cell. Good tornado sig there. Same with the one in the lower left near Brainerd.

Current hail reports running 1-2" so far.

BWCA has a strong cell that's Tornado warned. Bad place to get caught in that. Lots of campers right now in that area. Radar dbz 70+ with the core of the cell, and a hook sig off the SW edge.

Temps in town running mid 70's with dews in the low 60's. W of here temps low 80's with dews mid-upper 60's. Plenty of fuel for svr stms heading this way in a couple hrs.

Svr stms popping to my W with strong hail sigs. Couple hrs, and they should be on my doorstep.

Cleared off nicely. Been out soaking up some rays on the deck. Very light lake breeze keeping temps/dews at nice levels here in town. Low 70's currently (upper 60's on the shoreline) with dews in the low 60's at 2 pm.

Batch of showers moved through here this morning. Expecting svr wx later this aftrn-eve, and could get a little nasty. Highs in the low 80's with upper 70's near the shore of the Lake. Stratus deck currently, but should break in a while. The stms in S MN keeping a cloud deck over the Cities. If that continues, might interfere with development for them later. Update: Sun starting to break through just as I posted this.

Up to the upper 50's right now. Hazy overcast with the sun trying it's best to break through. If it does, a quick jump into the 60's before it wanes. Got around a quarter inch of rain. That'll help with tomorrow's stuff.

Almost 1 pm, and rain just ended. Temps still in the upper 40's with overcast skies. Sat showing clouds trying to hang for a while yet. Might get lucky in a couple hours and see some sun. What a cold June day so far.

OT here, but I think this could be a very interesting piece of research down the road for wx/climate studies. How light itself can evaporate water. https://news.mit.edu/2024/how-light-can-vaporize-water-without-heat-0423 Paper https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2320844121

Time for summer. It's short enough up here as it is. As I mentioned in my Holiday forecast thread, hints of Fall going to be showing up a little earlier this year. 75-85 with low 60's for dews is plenty. Band of showers moving through this morning with scattered thunder possible later today. E winds keeping temps in the 60's today. SW winds tomorrow will feel nice.

Just took a couple minutes to look up temps at these stns. Stout chill for June 10. I-Falls 33 2nd (1st 32 1908/58), Hibbing 32 3rd, Brainerd(arpt) 41 5th, Duluth 39 T 5th.

Rain moving in tonight thru tomorrow, then much more summer like on Wed with a decent stm chance.
