Got caught up in a nice downpour driving south on 35W through Blaine earlier this afternoon. Nice! I was just there last week showing my brother around Minneapolis. I'm like 5 miles to your west and south near the Southdale Mall. I saw that storm on the radar, but it just got dark here, no rain here for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until then it looks to stay mostly zzz on the front of interesting wx. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CheeselandSkies Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Crazy amounts of smoke here at the surface all day today. Must be wild for all the GA planes flying VFR into EAA Yeah. They said it was mostly gonna stay aloft... I didn't check a whole lot, but I didn't see an AQI number on my phone today like I did for several consecutive days during the really bad smoke outbreak almost a month ago.Edit: There is one on there; just saw it tick from 160 to 161.

cyclone77 Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 DVN has 100 in the point for Thu at MLI, 99 on Friday. We still haven't made a run at an 80 degree dewpoint yet, which is kind of unusual. Looking like there's a good chance we won't make it this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 A cool, dewy 47 this morning. Temp should top out just over 80 today which will be the first 80 degree day here since July 4th. Coldest spot in the yoop: Baraga 7NW- 29 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent a frigid few winter days working outside Southdale in the lifetime fitness parking lot, they are planning on putting a high end apartment building there. Convection debris “saved” us yesterday as we barely topped out at 90 before an outflow boundary knocked us down to the lower 80s. Low of 70 overnight ensures the heat is off to the races today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhou Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Already feeling toasty out there with 88 degrees as of 11:30am, but looks like some thunderstorm possibilities later in the evening and night time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Looks like a decent chc of stms later. Still have some smoke in the air, with high level clouds from the stm complex over NC MN. Temps subdued a bit from that. Point lowering my temps the next couple days. E winds will be more on tap, so upper 70's-low 80's at best during the brief heat wave this week. You boys from MSP (and the sub in general) sure are welcome to come on up, and enjoy the nicer wx up here this week. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheClimateChanger Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Wonder if we'll see some 90+ degree buoy readings on Lake Erie with the upcoming heat wave? Doesn't look like we'll be seeing those 101 degree SSTs they had off Key Largo, Florida, but 90 degrees is certainly a distinct possibility. 1 m water temperature up to 80 at the Toledo Crib. Reached 83 yesterday afternoon. Probably a decent chance of reaching into the 90s there in the coming days.

At first I thought it was an error because none of the other traditional cool spots even fell into the 30's, but apparently it's accurate. Looks like 80 is not in play today.

cyclone77 Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Dews have crept up into the 70s. That and the hazy/smoky conditions make it seem like the air is stagnant. Looks like a good chance at tagging 100 either tomorrow/Thu/Fri. Best chance looks like Friday, but can't completely rule out tomorrow or Thu.

Chinook Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 I saw a red sun tonight due to the forest fire smoke. There were just a few clouds in the way, about 20-30 min before sunset. A few clouds that looked pretty nice and pink. First quarter moon. Pretty hot for nighttime, but I guess it could be worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
