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.
