Storms Around The Area... And A Big Cooldown/Warm-up On The Way

We were watching storms quickly developing on the horizon - and this is one we caught on our KDLT Skycam:



There are still some storms around the area - although most of them are not severe right now... We'll post more later if things start to pick up steam again.

Speaking of storms... just a little personal tidbit. Most of you may know that I am from the Minneapolis-area - and I heard first about the tornado that hit downtown Minneapolis from my own dad. He was downtown at work and had to take shelter. Pretty wild. If we can find video we'll post it here as well.

Temperatures

As for the temperatures out there... we are looking for some pretty chilly conditions out there for this time of year in the area. 60s in August - for highs?

Look at that map! That is pretty wild. Our average highs are still mostly in the middle 80s. Thankfully we don't have long to go before the warmth comes again. Friday looks cool still, but Saturday we start to warm up and Sunday looks ''normal.''

We're starting to see some computer-model predicted 90s out west by Sunday. Toward the East we'll look for some 80s of the middle 80s variety. Hopefully things don't change much, because I personally am not ready to let go of summer.

Have a great night!
