There are probably more. Those are just the sites I checked. MSP was 82F overnight, but has since dropped lower due to thunderstorm activity.

Thunderstorms stayed south of the airport. I don’t think we dropped below 81. Feels like New Orleans out here.

Cedar Rapids, Iowa (78F) will also be a new monthly record high minimum if it holds.

Back home now.  This air mass is a true slap in the face.  A big wet slap in the face lol.

Going on 1130 and already have to change shirts at work. Going to be a fun few days. Can feel the air getting thicker as the morning goes on.

From the NWS

 

The forecast low of 83 at MSP would be the second warmest low on
record, and 3 degrees short of the all-time record of 86 from
the Dust Bowl era.

Haven't looked elsewhere but it looks like MSP has at least tied the daily record. St. Cloud has set a new daily record.

It begins today for some. Got the first 90 of the year here.

Also, the low of 80F at Eau Claire, Wisconsin was 1F shy of both the June monthly record high minimum and the all-time record high minimum. La Crosse, Wisconsin was 1F shy of the monthly & 2F below the all-time record.

Possibility that one or both gets set or tied tonight/tomorrow if the winds stay up enough. Also would need to stand through midnight local time. Not sure if there’s a risk of convection there tomorrow.

Tomorrow will be the first 90 of the year for DTW. The avg first is June 10th.

DTW did hit 92 but Detroit City and Mt Clemens only hit 89. I suspect I only hit 88-89 on the east side by the water. A bit underwhelming for day 1 but the main heat should be tomorrow thru Tuesday.

Temps underachieved here today with only 93.  Only 93 at MLI as well.  Mid 70s dews pushed the index over 105 though.

Our hottest temp so far remains the 95 back on May 15th, although that was with much lower humidity.

91 today. Pretty impressive heat wave considering how cool it's been

[nvck]

cvg record high for jun 23/24 is 94, which i'm fairly certain will get broken, probably for both days.

[Torchageddon]

The start of the heat wave here busted; only got to 27 instead of 30C, my current temp is 25C but some showing it rising mid-evening and staying around 27C til early morning. They lowered (WUN) tomorrow's high from 34 to 31C, what a gas!  That heavy rain and storm mid-day cooled things but I feel the sultry with the vital breeze.

96 today. Forecast was 98 so I guess a bust low. Still 91 at 9:30pm

 

Both MSP and STC hit record high temperatures on Saturday, June
21, breaking the previous records of 95 set in 1910. The exact
values for each are still being verified, but they reached at
least 96. Record high temperatures are possible again on Sunday
with hot/humid air in place and the warm front remaining to the
north of our coverage area.
