Getting robbed my way. Rain was moving in yesterday, and it all collapsed, and I ended up with gusty winds for about hr. Felt good tho, as it was muggy. Now this morning. getting the N fringes of some showers from LP moving through. Back to seasonable wx next week 75/55 with low dews.  A.M.'s are going to feel chilly after this run of muggy, warm wx.

Wet morning here with more on/off showers. Temps sitting at 68, feels like a whole different season today. 

1.62” 24 hour rain total. 
0.37” after midnight to start August. 

1.12” in about 40min. 

Heavy rainer with the occasional hailstone. Solid stuff.

Over 3” of rain fell overnight in Des Moines. 

90 for the high today. Rain free. 

Most of the storms missed us, only ended up with 0.36” overnight. Another hot week on tap with temps running 85-90 daily. Hopefully we can get in on some MCS action. 

Bagged our 3rd 90 of the year with a brief high of 90 today. Storms are doing a good job of dodging mby so far this evening. 

High of 91 yesterday. Warmest temp of the year. Will make another run at 90 today, dews are running 65-67 today versus 68-70 yesterday. 

88/70 currently. Swamp weather outside. Should bag our 2nd 90 of the year soon. 

High of 81 yesterday, the first prolonged heatwave of the summer begins today for the Twin Cities. We look to have a week+ stretch of 85-90 degree weather and ~70 dews. 
 

July is running -1.6 below average so far. That deficient will be eaten away these last several days of the month. 

High of 75 today. Another top shelf day. Dog days of summer are lurking though. 

Storms fired along the cold front and deposited a quick 0.54” here.

Slow moving storms dumping about an inch of rain imby this morning. The airport picked up 0.74” 

Garden variety storms popping up over the metro this morning. Some locally heavy rainfall but that’s about it. 

Low 80s and daily storm chances. Pretty darn good. High altitude smoke is a bummer but it’s an inevitable part of the modern summer. 

Upper atmospheric smoke has entered central and southern Minnesota. AQ is still fine but the milky skies are back. Hope it stays elevated.

Top shelf weather this week. 
 

Feels like a mid September day this morning. High of 74 today, dew point sitting pretty at 52.

This is some wild stuff. Hope everyone is safe. 

Preliminary data looks like we achieved 90 today in Minneapolis. 

Short but sweet, was worth staying up late on a Saturday night to watch multiple 60mph gusts move through the neighborhood. 

Forecast high was 91 today.
Actual high 81 with 0.34” of rain.

Next up is an overnight MCS

Another cloudburst just put the airport on a brief ground stop. Quarter mile visibility and frequent CtG lightning. 
 

The razor thin line of showers/storms along I-94 backs up west of St. Cloud.  
 

74 at 2pm. Going to be tough to break 90 today. @Chicago Stormgotta hand it to you for sensing temps would likely underperform today. You should do some consulting work for our WFO.
