Tuesday's temperatures and dew points drop in the wake of Monday night’s cool front. You can expect some lingering showers and thunder south, then a cool night and nice Wednesday before things warm back up.

There is a CHANCE of rain tonight. It'd be while most of us are sleeping (around 3am,+/-), so let's hope for the best. #mnwx
Some VERY welcome rain across what recently had become drought conditions in Minnesota. Hopefully we get more someday soon (not any good chances in the forecast at this moment). #mnwx
Finally getting rain across Minnesota! Observations at MSP airport are really piling up with around an inch so far. #mnwx
Yes. It's summer, it's hot. However, what's in store for the southwest and Inter-mountain West into the weekend will be record highs during the hottest time of the year–dangerous for anyone that's unprepared while outdoors. Plan accordingly. weather.gov/heat
There's something magical about a right-sized crossing on a one-way like this. So excited to see these changes implemented!
Wedge LIVE!™@wedge.live · last wk.Public works has reduced the driving space so much that you almost can't do anything but drive the speed limit past this elementary school. This is outrageous. It's like they have no concern for the people who left home 5 minutes late to drive their kids to school two towns over.

It's 96° or hotter and I've failed to share my must-listen song: youtu.be/UwlUY3AQd2Q?...

Brian Oak referred to this as dinosaur weather, and that’s precisely what it is. Suitable for ferns and reptiles only.
Meteorologist Aaron Shaffer@ashafferwx.bsky.social · last wk.The dewpoint got up to 81° at MSP this morning, yikes! This image is pulled from the National Weather Service Twin Cities office. Luckily, thankfully, a wind shift brings drier air in later today. #mnwx
The weather in the Twin Cities today is perfect if you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to be a soup dumpling
This is the most humidity I've ever experienced. It's like it forgot to rain.

Des Moines with a current reading of T:96°F / Td:80°F is the hottest air temperature I have on record for the site with a coincident 80+°F dew point. Des Moines earlier hit 81°F, which is one degree off the unofficial record I calculate.

An added issue - smoke. Not much near surface smoke today (but you can see it aloft), but some low to moderate near surface smoke nears us in Minneapolis on Monday and over us Tuesday. #mnwx
Alerts from NWS Twin Cities/Chanhassen MN (UNOFFICIAL)@mpx.nws-bot.us · last wk.🚨 Extreme Heat Warning issued July 26 at 10:10AM CDT until July 26 at 9:00PM CDT by NWS Twin Cities/Chanhassen MN 🚨 Additional Details Here.(3/3)
Fun fun! More extreme heat on the way to Minneapolis/St. Paul. Enjoy today's moderate temps and breeze - Exteme Heat Warning kicks in Saturday through Sunday night, with a definitely chance of that being extended. That'll mean heat index (feels like) temps around 100 degrees. #MNWX
3RD LONGEST HEAT STREAK! Minneapolis/St. Paul International just hit 90° for the 10th day in a row. This is now the 3rd-longest heat streak on record for the Twin Cities, and the longest in 78 years. While yes, it gets hot every year. It doesn't always get this hot for this long. #mnwx
Overnight storms? Maybe. The storms showing up on radar over the Dakotas, if they survive, could wake us up overnight. #mnwx
Severe weather potential increases on Monday across portions of the upper Midwest. Be sure to check your local weather conditions and forecast by visiting weather.gov
July 18th, 1986: A widely viewed tornado struck the Minneapolis/St Paul metro. Described as a "minimal" F2, the twister was observed by MNDOT cameras, a KARE-11 news helicopter, and tens of thousands of residents. Several dozen structures were damaged.
A few lucky folks in the Twin Cities might get some rain! A weak cold front coming through has some isolated storms popping up. #mnwx
Rep. Aisha Gomez: “To look at people standing up against ICE and see ‘paid protesters’ says nothing about us and everything about you.” “That you cannot conceive of us loving our neighbors so much that we would actually do something for them.”
Good news (sort of) - looking at short-term surface smoke forecasts, looks like smoke could move out by as early as 6-7 a.m. tomorrow morning if things hold.
