Rochester, Minnesota just broke the record for wettest year on record and there are still 3.5 months left in the year. Crazy.

93/78/109 here. 97/80/117 in La Crosse

91/78/106 last hour and 92/77/106 this hour in Madison.

I was mistaken, we hit 90 on June 29th as well

Hit 90 for the first time this year in Madison

KDAY hit 90. Our long national nightmare is over

Rochester, Mn has already had their wettest June day on record and they got all their precip before 6 am.

I think you'll hit 90 today.

It’s crazy how much cool and dry air has been hanging around in the northern plains and Great Lakes so far this spring/early summer. Even during the big tornado stretch in May the temps in Oklahoma and Kansas n of the warm front were only in the 50s

Yeah, has to do with an MCS moving through in the morning/early afternoon, which will be less severe but more of a sure bet to happen. And then a more conditional threat of supercells to the west which would have more significant severe.

going to be in Minneapolis this weekend and ironically might escape the snow being up north.

HRRR wants to get a few fiesty thunderstorms up into S WI right along the warm front tomorrow.

Pinatubo, Krakatoa and Yellowstone all erupting tomorrow. Decade without a summer

huge flakes in Madison, some are easily half dollar size or bigger. Already accumulating well on grassy surfaces.

Lol 3 feet of snow. April is the new December

Yeah, there were a couple of very vivid lightning strikes that hit the radio towers on the SW side of town. Probably tops most of the lightning I saw last year

some thunderstorms inbound to S Wisconsin and Illinois, will be nice to hear a couple rumbles

So many old piles of snow here. Some of this stuff will take weeks to melt

This is a fun topic. I'll put together some thoughts, not sure if it will be 10 or 20 or somewhere in between: 1) Jarrell, Texas 1997 - Some of the most complete damage of homes ever seen. 2) El Reno, Oklahoma 2011 - 1.9 million pound oil derrick was toppled and rolled 3 times. 20,000 pound truck was thrown over a mile 3) Phil Campbell, Alabama 2011 - F5 damage for much of its length. ground scouring, a car was completely destroyed and never found 4) Bridge Creek, Oklahoma 1999 - The infamous Moore tornado of 99, measured 318 mph winds 5) Smithville, Mississippi 2011 - Picked up an SUV and threw it a half mile into the towns water tower. all plumbing in some hones were either shredded or missing 6) Andover, Kansas 1991 - famous Andover tornado 7) Kellerville, Texas 1995 - This was only rated an F4 but the damage to a home was so intense that the surveyors missed it. Also ripped up multiple stretches of pavement. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qmJOy0bxMQ (can be seenat 11:00 of this video) 8) Guin, Alabama 1974 - One of the longest F5 damage paths for a tornado 9) Goessel, Kansas 1990 - The second F5 for this supercell after the Hesston storm. 10) Plainfield, Illinois 1990 - Fujita said it was some of the most intense ground scouring he's ever seen 11) Bakersfield Valley, Texas 1990- Only rated an F4 but rolled 180000 pound oil tanks 3 miles and 600 feet up a hill 12) Stratton, Nebraska 1990 - also rated an F4 and fairly unknown but mangled farm equipment into balls and picked up mud from a lake and plastered it throughout the town(the pic below is of the incredible meso of this storm) 13) Philadelphia, Mississippi 2011 - 2 foot deep ground scouring 14) Brandenburg, Kentucky 1974 15) Wheatland, Pennsylvania 1985 16) Barneveld, Wisconsin 1984 17) Loyal Valley, Texas 1999 18) Jordan, Iowa 1976 - 19) Mulhall, Oklahoma 1999 20) Greensburg, Kansas 2007

overachieved slightly up to 36 today. Excited for the 50s and possible thunderstorms this week.

Up to 34. First time above freezing since Feb 24th. The good news is that above freezing highs are forecast for the next 7 days.

12Z GFS trended SE and weaker with the low. Bring the rain snow line into southern Wisconsin

down to -10 this morning in Madison, breaking the old record of -9. Should be the only record we break during this cold snap.

Looks like we will be approaching the record lows on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday of -8, -9 and -12 respectively. As of right now record low maxs seem just out of reach, but the all time record low max for the month of March is 0.

If it's March 15 and were still having high temps 20 degrees below average I'll start posting in this thread
