Pleasant day here. Warm n humid 80/70. One of the more humid days we've seen here on the shore, but not overwhelming with the lower temp. AND NO SMOKE!! Clear, blue skies
Edit: Lake breeze kicked in good now. Temps down a little into the upper 70's with dews in the upper 60's. Pretty nice natural A/C system Probably 70 on the shoreline.
Looks like a decent chc of stms later. Still have some smoke in the air, with high level clouds from the stm complex over NC MN. Temps subdued a bit from that. Point lowering my temps the next couple days. E winds will be more on tap, so upper 70's-low 80's at best during the brief heat wave this week. You boys from MSP (and the sub in general) sure are welcome to come on up, and enjoy the nicer wx up here this week.
Yes it is. But the pattern, and possible tropical system I'm forecasting are being captured here. We'll see in a couple weeks what it actually ends up being like.
0.55" fell late last night with a small complex of shwrs/stms. It was a small one, so got lucky on the hit. Up to 1.95" for July. Coming round of heat will be soften by the lake. Winds will be S n E so mid 80's should be the worst I see. Natural A/C is helpful on the right wind. Unfortunately, more smoke the next couple days.
I'm at 1.4". Sad indeed. Since May 1st only 4.66". Most of that is between Jun 24 - Jul 20 with 4.19". With most of that between Jun 24 - Jul 5 at 3.25". Just enough to keep things green. Lawns were more golden colored prior to Jun 24. And, as mentioned before, the robust snowpack with very little frost in the ground, allowed large amounts of water to soak deep, so the trees are doing fine...so far. That 2 week stretch of heavier rains (3.25") really helped there. Come on Aug!
Just thinking about it, I've never seen hail in town larger than peas. Back in the mid 90's we had a softball sized event on Hwy 61 between here, and Duluth. Damaged a few cars, and some underwear, too, I'd imagine LOL
