Hurricane meteorologist6/11/2023 80 won't be enough to break an early May record, since the record highs range from a few middle 80's to the middle 90's, like today. I have highs from the middle 70's to perhaps having a shot at 80 degrees for the first time since our record setting April 13. So, today will be just as warm, if not warmer, than yesterday. Might Hit 80 Today: No Records, But Continued Fire Danger Note that high temperatures in the Canadian Prairie Provinces were in the 70's with even some 80's directly east of the Canadian Rockies in Alberta (see 4 PM Wednesday NWS WPC North America zoom-in map). That's because the air to our north and west has still been warmed by its trip down the Canadian Rockies and the sinking under the high pressure. The winds have shifted from southeast to the south of the front to northwest to its north, but overnight temperatures have remained in the 40's in much of the northern two-thirds of Minnesota with some 50's sprinkled in (see NWS Aviation Weather Center METAR map). This front has carried some middle clouds (see Shortwave Albedo loop from Colorado State satellite slider) and a handful of radar echoes in northern Minnesota (see College of DuPage north central US radar loop), but the dry air has allowed only a few drips to reach the ground (see lack of weather symbols on the NWS Aviation Weather Center METAR map). Our air flow is still coming from the northwest, due to the western flank of the eastern Canada low and the eastern flank of the Rockies high (see Mid-tropospheric water vapor loop from Colorado State satellite slider), so a weak cold front has pushed into Minnesota overnight (see 24-hour loop of NWS WPC US surface maps). So, the fire danger remained extreme in central Minnesota (see Minnesota Department of Natural Resources fire danger map, despite the light winds. That produced relative humidities of 30 to as low at 15 percent (set time to yesterday afternoon on the NWS Minnesota hourly weather round-up). The air remained extremely dry with dew points (green numbers) from the 20's to even the single digits in Iowa and Nebraska. Our weather success under high pressure (see 4 PM Wednesday NWS WPC North America zoom-in map) increased yesterday with highs in the 70's throughout much of Minnesota.

It may be the worst in terms of covering over 25 years and 90 storms. He continues, “This is one of the worst hurricanes I have ever been in. Waves crashing over the area from earlier this morning.” In what seems to be a later clip, Cantore has taken refuge on a building balcony saying,”We have come up here for safety from the surge…and where we were earlier, it looks like there’s three or four feet of water.
