Point has a high of 70 today. Clouds should build in as the day goes on. 
Temps should drop into the 40s away from the UHI tonight.

Monthly rainfall sits at 7.27” 

High of 76 yesterday 
1.12” of rain overnight. 

Even with persistent NW flow we overachieved up to 81 today under the full June sun.

81/48 and feeling good.

As side note, it's so nice to have clear, blue skies, and not that smoky crap like last year

This year *so far* has been significantly better in terms of smoke.
 

Dews crashed from the upper 60s to the low 50s under mostly cloudy skies this morning. Great day to be working outside.

Storm fail here last night, cap wouldn’t break. Didn’t see any precipitation.

Article on the dam failure near Mankato. Flash flood watch here for expected storm development this afternoon.

Beautiful precipitation minima centered right over mby. Enough to keep things healthy and green but no urban flooding. 

Hopefully there isn’t much infrastructure damage at my local ski hill. The Cannon River crested today in Welch Minnesota at 14.3’ with the record holding at 15.1’

Another 0.64” in Minneapolis today. Next batch of rain about to move into Bayfield. 

56 with drizzle/fog/mist.

Having a lovely lunch on Madeline Island before heading over to Big Bay State Park for a hike.

0.63” overnight in Minneapolis. 

So far the twin cities have avoided almost all the rain as the training storms setup just south. Sun is even coming out here in Bayfield. 

64/52 under thickening overcast. Perfect autumn day.

This is mostly thanks to the Minnesota which is at or forecasted to be at flood stage from New ULM eastward to the Twin Cities. And additional rain is expected, with WPC MDT risks on both tomorrow and Friday, including over the Twin Cities themselves.

Relentless. 

@Brian Dany idea where this TH report was taken. 

Partly cloudy with temps in the upper 60s currently. We only picked up 0.35” of rain last night, the storms really blew up overhead and dumped a lot more rain just to the east. After dews in the 70s yesterday having them drop into the low 50s is great.

More rain on tap starting Thurs into Sat night, although current forecast is keeping the heaviest rains just to my S. 

I rented a cabin in Bayfield WI, Thursday-Sunday. Looks like a chilly and wet weekend unfortunately.

Some areas just W of the Sawtooths have had 2.5" of rain in the last hour. If those areas drain to the lake, ouch. I would not want to be on some of those streams for the next few hours.

Yes, everything just west of the Sawtooth Mtns drains into Superior. Lots of waterfalls and fast moving water up there as the terrain drops 1000’ in only a few miles. I wouldn’t want to be backpacking the Superior Hiking Trail, those bridges wash out all time. 

Very hefty rainfall totals in northern Minnesota with a flash flood ongoing. Looks like 4-6” has fallen with more still to come NW of a line from Grand Rapids through Ely. 

Rollercoaster weather continues in Minneapolis. It’s 79/70 at 8:30am, temps and dews steadily rose throughout the overnight hours.

63 in Minneapolis lol

It was 72 at 5:00am. The rain moved in and now it’s 57 at 10:00am.
