Blowtorch and mixing aside I can't ever remember seeing temps around here that warm this late without a dew over 70 let alone dews below 60. Crazy stuff this far north.
EDIT: Kind of a funny thought that just 8 days ago we failed to get out of the freakin' 40s ALL DAY.
Extremely impressive to see temps in the mid to upper 80s all across central MN at midnight. Usually to get temps to stay so hot this late into the night outside of UHI areas you'd need to have really high dews, but dews are mostly in the 50s. This is pretty incredible to say the least.
Hit 92 at both MLI and DVN, 91 here today. Looks like some issues with more clouds/higher dews may make it a little tougher to hit 90 tomorrow in this area. Chances for scattered showers/storms increase though in coming days which is nice.
No doubt. Fargo has 100/101 in their point for tomorrow/Saturday. Many people probably think it's an arctic wasteland after watching the movie Fargo lol.
Temps overachieved here today, was the warmest of the year so far at 87. DVN hit 88.
Looks like the soup arrives next week. Dews AOA 70 widespread starting Mon or Tue per Euro. Ready 2 sweat.
Look at those two huge vertical jumps in 2006 in March and April. Both were over twice what last year's August derecho added up to. That's pretty insane.
The Euro FINALLY gets some big cape into at least part of the sub by about June 10th. It's been like pulling teeth to get cape values over about 100 this year.
I remember when you could go to the SPC page and see something that was actually kind of exciting, you know, a slight risk on day 3 or something. I think we've been in a marginal twice this year. Talk about a lame-ass year.
Hi of 48 for the day, and that occurred at midnight lol. Just a miserable day with steady drizzle and northeast winds. Picked up 0.86" since yesterday (0.74" since midnight).
Looks like Cedar Rapids is about to get yet another thunderstorm here in a bit. That place can't lose.
Waiting on late night Iowa sloppy seconds per usual here.
Gonna be awhile before we get our first 90. Ground is relatively wet out this way which cuts down on max heating potential, and no heat is in the forecast as well. Looking pretty chilly later this week with some cold rains Thu into Fri.
Already 80/67 at 10am. Some weak convection out in east Iowa will hopefully lollygag over this way this afternoon and take advantage of the more unstable air out this way.
