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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Good shots at rain coming up. Need lots of precip to stave off worsening drought conditions. Most fires in NE MN are out now. Jenkins fire has some hot spots that are being worked on. Small fire up in the BWCA is being tended too as well.
So-so call on this forecast. Trough swung through the Lakes, HP took over before LP from the SW could move into the sub. Looks like LP will move along the OHRV on Tues.
