Mid to upper 80's currently around here with dews in the mid 60's. Air is a little heavy with 10mph breeze from the SW. Juice for tomorrows storms.

Have a look at the extreme hot/cool weather for July 4th. I think we'll be in between these this year.

That was close again. But the bigger weather will be starting Sun aftrn into Mon.

Here's a look at June broken down in half for extremes and then the monthly. 2021 ended up being in the top 10 for many stations from the eastern Dakotas into Michigan. Definitely a warm one. These stations have 100+ years of really decent data. Unfortunately I-Falls has hardly any prior to 1948.

I noticed the number for the official high. Guess the devil really is in the details.

Mid 60's today with a breezy Lake wind, then the heat starts to build tomorrow with low 90's by the 4th. Then cooling back to normal next week (mid 70's).

Duluth had their warmest June. Beat out 1910. Long time.

0.29" of rain today. Mid 70's and mostly cloudy for most of the day. Looks like scattered showers/storms tomorrow, too, but more widely scattered.

0.25" of rain yesterday with possibly more today. Beautiful weather today with temps in the mid 70's with a light Lake breeze.

0.18" of rain today so far. More possible later on.

0.98" of rain last night with lots of lightning. Was a nice show, but nothing severe.

Something for the troll I guess. Here ya go Warren.

Noticed 06z GFS picked up what I'm looking for on the July 4th weekend. But many days to go yet.

These weather patterns the past few years remind me of the 80's (when I was a young man). Jet going wild man (among other things LOL)

Picked up an 1" of rain yesterday. Today it's chilly with a temp in the upper 50's right now, with "popcorn" showers. Have a Fall looking sky on the first full day of astro Summer.

My prayers to all of the folks down there dealing with this. Scary stuff man!

60 and overcast with 0.24" of rain so far. Another batch moving in soon. Looks like some nasty NW winds hitting the North Shore tonight with gusts up to 50 mph possible.

I did a good job with this forecast, now lets see how July 4 weekend pans out.

More like a day of Spring/Fall weather. Chilly for this time in June with upper 50's - 60's, and upper 30's - 40's in the a.m. Definitely a cool down coming next week.

Thunderstorms last night rolled through between here and Duluth. Nice lightning show, nothing too serious. More noise from folks setting off high power fireworks. Neighbors down the way must buy large amounts. They set them off all summer. The kind they have are illegal here, so blow a couple, then quit so the cops can't catch them in the act. Almost every night now they will be going off. And other folks in the neighborhood sometimes get those, too, so it gets real noisy after sunset close to the 4th.

I guess in the end, folks just learned to deal with heat/cold/weather issues in the past the best way they could. If it was too much, they moved, but economics played big so that wasn't always an option. Now we have all these modern conveniences that allow us to live just about anywhere. Those that seasonally migrate every year are just playing the "Goldilocks" game. Trying to get the best of both worlds.

Wow, Vegas sure is a hot, nasty place in June sometimes. Without A/C in the early years, that had to be absolutely miserable.

Superior, WI fire did the same thing. Black smoke and fireballs like that. Rough stuff man.

Some Las Vegas data. Stretches above 110. I used threadex, and there was data for a downtown station from 1900 to 1956. The two 1930's came from that station. 1940-06-12 to 1940-06-20 9 Max 116 1957-06-24 to 1957-06-27 4 Max 113 1961-06-22 to 1961-06-26 5 Max 113 1977-06-27 to 1977-06-30 4 Max 114 1979-06-26 to 1979-06-29 4 Max 112 1994-06-26 to 1994-06-30 5 Max 115 2017-06-18 to 2017-06-25 8 Max 117 1932-06-22 to 1932-06-28 7 Max 113 1933-06-12 to 1933-06-15 4 Max 114

It's a stretch I know, but interesting that some would think that
