@weatherdak.bsky.social Hi Dakota! What would be the best source to try and find archived satellite data (Minnesota area) from February 19, 2023?

We had a taste of fall last weekend - another one comes in later this week. Near to record breaking cold highs are anticipated Thursday. #mnwx #WinterIsComing

@akrherz.bsky.social I don't know if this would even be possible... but is there a way where you could filter by magnitude on the LSR App when filtering the LSRs? Example: filter where it only shows hail of 1" or greater?

June ended as the 36th wettest June on record for the Twin Cities, and the 10th wettest for St. Cloud. It was also the 22nd wettest for both Rochester and Hibbing, and the 26th wettest for Brainerd. #mnwx

Here are the official snow totals for the 2024-25 season across the state and surrounding areas. As of today (July 1st), the numbers reset, and we start looking toward the 2025-26 snow season. Meanwhile... it's already July? #mnwx

Anyone know more about why NOAA is looking at discontinuing the NAM (and other) models? And whether this was planned years ago? www.weather.gov/media/notifi...

A busy Minnesota forecast today, with another round of severe storms late today/Friday Night. We then watch the heat this weekend with feels like temperatures in the 100s before flooding rains could become the story in southern Minnesota next week. #mnwx

Soggy, chilly, windy weather expected for the #MNTwins tonight - if they can get the games in, that is. The potentially good news? Models have rain decreasing in intensity toward game time (5:10 PM for last night's suspended game - game two 30 minutes after that one ends). #mnwx

We saw numerous record highs across the region Sunday. The high at MSP was the second warmest Mother’s Day on record. Another hot, windy day is expected today with fire weather concerns. Record high possible in northern Minnesota as well as the Dakotas. #mnwx

Record highs are expected across the state today for Mother’s Day. These temperatures, along with strong winds and low humidity values, are leading to fire weather concerns. #mnwx

I wrote a post with my perspectives on the reports today about NOAA's FY26 budget passback and the implications. I will admit this was really hard to write - it's almost inconceivable to me that we are really doing this.

NWS just announced a major reduction in upper-air (weather balloon) observations due to staffing shortages.
Omaha and Rapid City losing balloon launches altogether, with launches cut in half at 6 other sites.
Losing this many launches could affect severe weather forecasting and computer models.
