One Tough Weekend to be a Minnesota MeteorologistA
few people glared at me yesterday, in spite of having a few showers in
the forecast up north. "I thought you said today would be perfect!" I
did mentioned a shower risk today, ma'am. "Right."
True, people
hear what they want to hear. Even when the forecast is accurate, if
locals don't like the weather, they let me know. I have a new strategy
for PR. Weeping openly and unashamedly. Keeping people confused helps
too. "No, I'm not Paul Douglas. My name is...Ken Barlow and I will atone
for my weather transgressions!"
Yesterday's scrappy band of
showers gives way to a drying north breeze today, with low humidity and
highs in the 70s; near 80F in the MSP metro with a boost from the urban
heat island. A puff of Canadian air keeps us sunny much of Monday, but a
few thundershowers may pop Tuesday afternoon and evening, especially
west of the Twin Cities.
The mercury tops 90F Thursday, and I see a streak of 90s next week as some of the hottest weather of summer pushes north.
July is the hottest month of the year, and I suspect we'll soon get our fill of sweaty heat and humidity.
June Numbers. Twin Cities temperatures were 2.5F warmer than average last month with rainfall close to normal. Details from the
MPX National Weather Service: "
For
temperatures June was a tale of two halves, with the first half of the
month dominated by above normal temperatures, while the second half of
the month was below normal. In the end, the warmth outweighed the cold
by a little bit."
On Your Mark - Get Set - Sweat.
Enjoy the comfortable air (thank you Canada) because temperatures heat
up later in the week, a good chance of low 90s by Thursday before
another cool-down next weekend. Next week looks even hotter across
Minnesota and Wisconsin. Twin Cities ECMWF temperatures: WeatherBell.
7-Day Rainfall Potential.
NOAA's models indicate the heaviest rains are likely to fall from the
Midwest and Ohio Valley to the Carolinas and northern New England, while
the west remains hot and dry.
Atmospheric Firecrackers.
I know it seems like I'm showing you the same predicted weather maps,
day after day, but this optical illusion is brought to you by a
persistent holding pattern. The best chance of showers and T-storms on
the 4th of July comes from St. Louis to Chicago and Detroit, as well as
the Carolinas. There's little chance of weather interfering with fireworks
west of the Rockies. NAM guidance: NOAA and Tropicaltidbits.com.
Slight Mid-Month Relief From The Heat.
Persistent heat is likely from the west coast (including Portland and
Seattle) into the southern Plains and Southeast, but GFS model guidance
hints at a few token cool fronts from the Upper Mississippi Valley into
the Great Lakes and New Englands. Translation: 80s vs. 90s.

June: Warmer Than Average Again.
After a 20 month straight run of warmer-than-normal May was slightly
cooler, statewide, but June resumes the trend of warmer than the
long-term averages, according to Dr. Mark Seeley at
Minnesota WeatherTalk: "
After
having one of the warmest starts to June in Minnesota history, cooler
than normal conditions prevailed during the second half of the month. As
a result most climate observers are reporting a mean monthly
temperature that is near normal or just 1 to 2 degrees warmer than
normal. A few locations in the far north ended up the month with a mean
temperature that was cooler than normal (Kabetogama and Tower for
example). Among Minnesota's observer network 46 new daily high maximum
temperature records were tied or broken during the first half of the
month, while 35 daily warm minimum temperature records were tied or
broken. Only 7 record low minimum temperatures were tied or set..."
U.S. Total Solar Eclipse Sparks Spectator Excitement. It's very tempting to make a road trip to Missouri - or Wyoming - or Oregon.

Tsunami: An Underrated Hazard. David Bressan provides perspective at
Forbes: "...
Modern databases list more than 2,000 historic tsunamis. Most of these were recorded in historic documents, chronicles or even myths.
The database shows that coastlines in the Caribbean Sea, the Pacific
Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea and the Indonesian Sea are among the most
vulnerable areas. Tsunamis can be triggered by movements along the
seafloor, which are typically caused by earthquakes or underwater
landslides. A tsunami that killed 40,000 people in December 1908 on
Sicily, was probably not caused by the preceding earthquake, but rather a large landslide off the coast of Sicily (which likely had been triggered by the quake)..."

Unseasonable Winter Weather Takes a Bite Out of Georgia's Peach Crop. Unusual winter warmth, coupled with a late-winter freeze, wreaked havoc across the Carolinas.
NPR reports: "...
Certainly
the climate is changing. For whatever reason, we won't get into that,"
Sanchez said. In fact, the last couple of years have been too warm, he
said. "But two years don't make a trend," he added. Climate data kept by
the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or NOAA, go back
much further than that. NOAA statistics put Georgia's average winter
temperature at 45 degrees Fahrenheit in 1895. The most recent average,
from 2015, puts that at 47 degrees. Still, even given the terrible

As Sea Levels Rise, NOAA Scientists Work Toward Seasonal Tidal Flooding Forecasts.
It no longer takes a storm (although that makes things far worse). As
ocean levels rise all it takes today is a new or full moon, reports
The Virginian-Pilot: "...
A
team of NOAA scientists recently began working toward a goal: to
predict tidal flooding for Norfolk and coastal communities all over the
country on a quarterly basis. They’re hoping that the seasonal forecasts
will help everybody from emergency planners to homeowners be more
attuned to the problem – and to the many conditions that can drive tides
higher. “I think this is going to be an emerging thing,” William Sweet,
a NOAA oceanographer who’s helping lead the three-year project, said in
a recent interview. “As sea level rise is continuing and impacts are
growing and expected to become much worse, there’s going to be a need to
say how often, when, where and how deep the water is expected to be...”

Solar Has Become the World's Cheapest Form of New Electricity. That was fast.
Fortune explains: "
Solar power is becoming the world's cheapest form of new electricity generation, data
from Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF) suggests. According to
Bloomberg's analysis, the cost of solar power in China, India, Brazil
and 55 other emerging market economies has dropped to about one third of
its price in 2010. This means solar now pips wind as the cheapest form
of renewable energy—but is also outperforming coal and gas. In a note to

Solar Moves in a Curious Direction Since Trump Quit Paris Deal: Up. Bloomberg reports: "
In the month since President Donald Trump vowed to withdraw from the Paris climate accord,
shares of U.S. solar companies have taken a curious turn. They’ve gone
sharply up. Sunrun Inc. and Vivint Solar Inc., the two largest
independent U.S. rooftop panel installers, have embarked on their
biggest rallies of the year since the president’s June 1 announcement.
Sunrun is up 42 percent, closing Thursday at $7.27. Vivint has risen 86
percent, to $5.75. And SunPower Corp., the second-largest American panel
manufacturer, has gained 19 percent, to $9.49. The rally—which comes as
oil and energy stocks

The Epic Untold Story of Nike's (Almost) Perfect Marathon.
WIRED.com has the remarkable story: "...
In
the past 20 years, as the world record continued to inch downward, the
debate over whether a sub-two might actually happen became more and more
contentious. A parlor game arose among physiologists and statisticians,
arguing when we might see the first sub-two: in 10 years, 25 years, 70
years, never. The game found its way to the retreat in Sisters, where
Nurse tasked the NSRL team to imagine how they could make a two-hour
marathon a reality. “We keep talking about the sub-two,” Nurse remembers
saying. It was time to stop talking and actually do it.Sandy Bodecker, a
Nike employee for nearly four decades and the vice president of special
projects, heard the call. He lobbied executives for funding and started
a secret two-hour-marathon task force that was dubbed Project Able

might’ve even gained some loyalty from it. And it’s not a coincidence
that the Jobs who came back to Apple in 1997 was kinder—I’ve heard this
over and over from his close collaborators. He evolved. Although he
still wasn’t warm and fuzzy, he was less cruel. Mistake 2: confusing
outward prickliness with inner selfishness. I’ve found that whether
you’re a giver or a taker
on the inside is completely separate from how agreeable you are on the

The Pope's Moral Case for Taking On Climate Change. Here's an excerpt from
The Atlantic: "The majority of people living on our planet profess to be believers.”
It is a statement of fact, an intellectual premise, a gentle claim of territory. In his new encyclical
on environmental degradation, Laudato Si, Pope Francis is not just
addressing the world’s 1.2 billion Catholics. He’s tagging God into the
global conversation on climate change. The document, which was leaked on
Monday by an Italian newspaper and officially released by the Vatican
on Thursday, bitterly condemns the human failures that have eroded much
of the environment. The pope rattles off fact after fact about the
pitiful state of the earth: Pesticides have contaminated farmers’ soil.
Air pollution has poisoned cities. Man-made waste checkers landscapes.

Major Correction to Satellite Data Shows 140% Faster Warming Since 1998. More bad news for professional climate skeptics.
Carbon Brief explains: "
A new paper
published in the Journal of Climate reveals that the lower part of the
Earth’s atmosphere has warmed much faster since 1979 than scientists
relying on satellite data had previously thought. Researchers from Remote Sensing Systems (RSS), based in California, have released a substantially revised version of their lower tropospheric temperature record.
After correcting for problems caused by the decaying orbit of
satellites, as well as other factors, they have produced a new record
showing 36% faster warming since 1979 and nearly 140% faster (e.g. 2.4
times faster) warming since 1998. This is in comparison to the previous

least doubled across the region and was up to 10 times more likely in
the worst-hit places, Spain and Portugal. What was once a rare heat
event can now happen every 10 to 30 years, as is more likely to happen
