Minnesota Meso Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Looks like it will get very warm over the Upper Mississippi Valley on Tuesday, the question how warm? Most of the models show around 90° with dews at or around 65°. The question I have is with the 850-925mb flow out of west Texas, even from the Sonora region running up the lee side of the Rockies, where is the low level moisture coming from that the models depict? My thought's are that the models are overdoing the dews and temps may set a record at MSP exceeding the previous record high of 95° for that day. disco.

Geos Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 93° for the point and click for MSP tomorrow. Would be impressive if they touch or break the record! Looks like the dewpoints will remain around 50° though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the dewpoints will remain around 50° though. If dews are in fact around 50° I would expect temps could reach the upper 90's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxKevinM Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 I feel mid 90's will happen, I feel moisture is being overdone, just looking at surface obs right now. Maybe more moist in the morning drying out through the day, thus pushing temps to 95? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonbo Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 102 in Sioux City, IA, with a 14 degree jump to blow past the record high of 97. Worst spring ever. I was amazed to see that already and it's only noon. Thankfully it's just for one day but man, I thought the expected high here in DMX today of 96 was bad enough.

MN Transplant Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Per the Star Tribune article, the 102s at St. James and a few other places were the 2nd earliest readings that high in the MN records. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
