June 16th-21st (and beyond?) Heatwave
OrdIowPitMsp replied to Geoboy645's topic in Lakes/Ohio Valley
Nice to see a heatwave that isn’t centered over the Great Plains. It’s no guarantee we tag 90 next week riding the far edge of the ridge but it’ll most likely happen. 90 degree days through June 13th in Minneapolis, last 5 years. 2020 - 3 2021 - 10 2022 - 2 (101 on 6/20) 2023 - 5 2024 - 0 -
Had a nice storm roll through around 11pm last night. Rainfall total of 0.46” yesterday. High of 81. Hoping the currently stalled front is able to push through the area and knock the dews down a bit. It’s sitting about 40 miles to my NW.

Wow quite a few tor warned storms between myself and @Brian D. Tree removal companies are going to have a field day. -
2024 Short/Medium Range Severe Weather Discussion
OrdIowPitMsp replied to Chicago Storm's topic in Lakes/Ohio Valley
77/63. Cloud cover hanging on. Beginning to think Minneapolis is going to be screw-zoned today. Morning convection mostly stayed just south, and the evening redevelopment is currently progged to go just north. 0.18” precipitation total today. -
Clouds finally clearing out here, 68/61. doubt we hit our forecasted high of 87 but we’ll see what happens.
-
Light rain this morning. Looks like a hose of light/moderate precip aiming at the metro. Not sure what this will do to our storm chances later on today.
-
Hoping for one, worried any morning storms will spoil it for us. Appreciate the optimism.
-
Meanwhile a couple hours drive south we’ve reached 81 under sunny skies. First 80 degree day since the 4th.
-
Little bit of chilly rain this morning, didn’t amount to much though. Skies cleared and temps are shooting up, jumped from 57 to 70 in under 2 hours. Looks like I’ll have to fire up the a/c tomorrow with high 60 dews and mid 80 temps.

Spring/Summer '24 Banter and Complaint Thread
OrdIowPitMsp replied to IWXwx's topic in Lakes/Ohio Valley
Liking that look in the upper Midwest. Last few summers we’d be lucky to see blue on the 384hr gfs. -
High of 75 in Minneapolis. Loving these low dews, we bounced between 39-41 today. Heat and humidity are on their way, but I’ll enjoy this while I can.
-
Spent the last few days in Vegas roasting in the record breaking 110 degree heat, warmest air temps I’ve ever experienced. Coming home to breezy low 70s and dews in the 40s feels amazing.
-
Radar looking good to my west. Always love a mature QLCS. They’ve been rare the past 3 summers here.
-
We can return the favor when TX has a week of 30s in January. 84/64 here. Steamy, but with a strong breeze gusting to 30mph it’s keeping things much more comfortable today. Storms should start firing in the next couple hours.
-
First truly sweaty summers day in Minneapolis. 81/64 currently. We’ve had a few days with a hotter air temp but the dews were upper 40s/50s at that time. Short lived, storms and a cold front tomorrow.
-
May 2024 finished with 5.81” of precipitation, and 2.9F above average in Minneapolis.
-
Scattered showers most of the day here. Temps bouncing between 64-66 all day. Looks like more organized rain is moving in to cap off a very wet month.
-
-10F > +90F I’ll die on this hill.
-
You are insane. 60s are ideal, but 70s are a win in the summer. Ring of fire is an added bonus.
-
Cooler summer, yes please. Anyone wishing for a hot and humid summer clearly doesn’t work outside for a living. Last year we were on day 3 of the first of many extended heat waves of the summer. None of that garbage in sight so far.
-
The northland sees frost and freezing temps in the summer months more often then you’d think. A quick google search reveals it dropped to 30 in Embarrass MN on 8/24/17, International Falls had a record low of 34 on 8/2/18, Seagull hit 32 and Hibbing 34 on 7/8/2021. Plenty more examples too.
-
About a half inch of precipitation today. Monthly total creeping towards 5” which was close to the JJA total during last summers severe drought. Official high of 67 today in Minneapolis.
-
Happy Memorial Day. Showers most of the morning here, temps are in the upper 50s but should surge into the 60s as the precipitation moves out this afternoon. Not the best day for boating but might try and catch the twins game later if it dries out in time.
-
P&C on weather.gov has bumped my backyard up to 70 on Monday. I’ll take this weather all summer.
-
Currently 54 and very breezy this evening. Looks like some patchy frost possible up north if the winds calm down. We’ve been sustained over 20mph and gusting over 40mph all afternoon. Cool weather on tap for the holiday weekend, in 2018 Memorial Day was the earliest 100 on record in the Twin Cities. This year we’ll probably stay in the 60s all day.
