More smoke arrives today, with highs near 90F Wednesday and Thursday. T-storms may pop Friday night into Saturday, but sticky 80s this weekend will beckon you to the lake. Prime time summertime. Check the blog for more details. -Todd Nelson
Storms are gone; expect a stiff breeze and cool sunshine today (with a risk of Canadian wildfire smoke reaching the ground). Looking ahead I see mostly 80s this week. The months ahead? With El Nino expect the unexpected. Check the blog for more updates. -Todd Nelson
We may salvage a little hazy sun this morning, but a southbound cool front sparks a few midday and afternoon showers, even a clap of thunder. Once again the atmosphere will NOT be ripe for hail or high winds. It's been a supernaturally quiet spring for severe weather across the Upper Midwest. Check the blog for more details. -Todd Nelson
The rain just isn't materializing the way the models keep predicting - everything is drying out close to home. An early shower gives way to a cooler breeze with comfortable 70s this weekend. Check the blog for more details. -Todd Nelson
A stagnant pattern will hang on into next week with sticky dew points and (if the sun stays out most of the day) highs near 90F. The normal MSP high now is 74F. Back in April, you may have been daydreaming about a stinking hot summer? It's here. Check the blog for more details. -Todd Nelson
