🔥 WE JUST HIT 100° IN THE TWIN CITIES! 🔥 For the first time in four years, the official temperature at Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport has reached the century mark. Even more remarkable: this is only the seventh time in the past 30 years that the Twin Cities have climbed to 100°.
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
The forecast for next week hasn't changed much. This could be the longest stretch of highs above 90° in 3 years. The biggest problem is that we don't cool off all that much overnight, and we stay incredibly humid. This is a plan ahead scenario for those without A/C or who work outdoors. #mnwx
Heads up! A dangerous stretch of heat in the forecast. We have 3 Forecast First Alert days, and more will be added. Use the next few days to make sure you're ready for this. What's your personal "too hot" temperature? 90°? 95°? 100°? #mnwx
8 years ago, I visited Minnesota for the first time! It was a trip to see what I thought of the state I always wanted to live in, but never been to. Then there’s now! I’m proud of be a Minnesotan, living out childhood prayers. There’s good, there’s bad, there’s ugly, and there’s no place like hoMe!
Nightly Weather Reset 6-9-26: Two rounds of storms are expected over the next 24 hours: 🌙 Round 1: Overnight tonight • Squall line moving in from the Dakotas • Damaging winds possible • Isolated tornadoes can't be ruled out ☀️ Round 2: Wednesday afternoon/evening
Nightly Weather Reset 6-8-26: Wednesday is the day we're watching this week. Too early for specifics. Not too early to pay attention. I'll continue refining the forecast over the next couple of days and let you know exactly what you need to know as confidence grows. #mnwx
Nightly Weather Reset 7-7-26: Tracking the chance for severe storms by midweek. Expect a forecast first alert from our team starting tomorrow as the next threat approaches. #mnwx
FORECAST FIRST ALERT ‼️ Our team has decided to launch a Forecast First Alert. We are now under an Enhanced Risk (Level 3 of 5) for severe storms. Bear with us as this forecast evolves and we work diligently to get you the most specific and up to date information.
Nightly Weather Reset: A messy system still on tap! It arrives late Wednesday into Thursday. More sleet and freezing rain than snow for most. #mnwx
FORECAST FIRST ALERT: As our messy spring storm approaches, the data is growing more consistent with the potential of significant icing. I'm doubting we see much in the way of snow, and growing more concerned we see enough freezing rain to bring down trees and powerlines. #mnwx
Temperatures should top out in the 70s today! Enjoy that, because the cold front of tracking tomorrow will set the stage for other things we will need to discuss. Bring your brooms, because it’s a mess! #mnwx
Nightly Weather Reset: It’s a very cold end to the week, but a weekend warm up is coming! #mnwx
Nightly Weather Reset: Changes are arriving! A few of us will see showers. ALL of us will see the cold. #mnwx
70 degree temperatures, round 2! Another strong cold front arrives tomorrow! So who else is outside this evening? #mnwx
Daily Weather Reset: Wednesday is awesome! Another shot at 70° before a big time cold front! #mnwx
Minnesota Weather Whiplash! Here's what you need to know 👇 The Good News: 👉 Sunshine and high's near 70° on Wednesday! The Other News: 👉 Rain drops and temp fall Thursday. We don't get out of the 40s... some models try to end with snow. Do you think we're done with snow this season? #mnwx
Wednesday afternoon temps are cranking up! 👉 Mid 60s at LEAST! 👉 With enough sunshine and a south wind, 70° isn’t out of the question. Who’s ready to do this again?
Nightly Weather Reset! Here’s what we’re tracking the next few days!
Another round of snow arrives tomorrow! This time it’s light, maybe 1-3”. It starts during the evening commute. No issues for the St. Patrick’s Day parade other than being cold!
NEW THIS MORNING: Forecast First ALERT! A slow and slushy evening commute is expected. This snow will be blown around by wind gusts up to 45 miles per hour. The transition has already occurred to our west. Colder temperatures and steady snow arrive over the next few hours.
As of the 1:00 AM update, the temperature is -20° at MSP. This is now the coldest night since January 31, 2019. We will see just how much colder we get overnight! The -43° is not as cold as the -47° I saw during the last hour! #mnwx
We don't have earthquakes We don't have hurricanes We don't have alligators We DO have the most beautiful summers, lake life, and THIS! #mnwx
A second winter storm is on the way this week. This one will disrupt travel all across the Midwest. Here’s my latest thinking.
A Winter Weather Advisory has been issued for the entire metro. 2-5” of snow expected from Midnight Friday - Midnight Saturday. (2” in Blaine, 5” in Lakeville). Further south, a Winter Storm Warning is in place for 5-9 inches of snow. Over 12” of snow in parts of Iowa, Wisconsin, and Illinois.
Winter Storm Warnings and Winter Weather Advisories are being issued across much of Minnesota. Details to come all evening long on KSTP! #mnwx
If you’re a strict “no Christmas decor until after Thanksgiving” person… you don’t have to turn them on… but it’ll be a much more pleasant experience if you put the outdoor decorations up this weekend rather than next! Sincerely, Your Christmas Obsessed Meteorologist #mnwx
Winter Weather Awareness week is upon us, and with it comes a chance for snow overnight! Do you know the difference between a winter storm watch, warning, or winter weather advisory? #mnwx
