No big heat, no big storms for the area.


Really isn’t too much to talk about in the weather. Main story will be the very nice temps and rather low humidity. Cold front is forecasted to move into the forecast area tonight this has a very small chance at kicking up some showers and maybe a thunderstorm, not much moisture for this system to work with. Front will have cleared the forecast area by sunrise, taken the rain showers and clouds with it. Should be a rather nice summer day tomorrow.

Next chance of showers and t-storms comes in for Wed  afternoon and night, as another short wave drops southeast into the area, Looks like the best areas to see showers and thunderstorms will be in my far northern grids.

Still could be some showers and thunderstorms around to around the 10 Am hour on Thur. The heat ridge that we have been on the northern side was forced south and west, and there is no signs of it returning to the area right through the end of August.

See short term forecast for forecasted temps.

Summer heat update

Could someone tell me what a "very severe squall line" is I never in my life heard of that in the training I have in weather.Also I sure don't see any funnels that were reported, unlike that one blog is saying. More BS.
Another thing whew it is sure hot out there temps well into the 90s. NOT. Only 84 the highest temps is 86 in Down town Rochester. So SE MINNESOTA BUST WEATHER BLOG LIVES UP TO IT'S NAME ONCE AGAIN.
Below is our fast cast for temps through next week and weekend.
Low 90s to middle 90s for Monday. The rest of the week Middle 80s for our highs.Monday will be our last day we see the 90s. By Next weekend temps could be in the upper 70s to lower 80s.

Dry weather ahead this week

Nice long road of dry weather ahead for this week and lasting into the weekend. The area does need some rain, as drought conditions keep becoming stronger with each passing day. The only areas to see rain would well north of my forecast area, and so far that looks slim to none.However like last week models showing about the same things as far as precip goes, so I had to add the chance in on the map below.This may end up changing to a dry forecast up there as well.
Temps will slowly warm from the lower 80s to around 90 by Friday and holding either side of 90 for the weekend.
