There was a thunderstorm and heavy rain in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area during the late morning to early afternoon hours. The weather forecast calls for the possibility of a thunderstorm this evening. We are hoping for rain all night long so we can enjoy some unpolluted air tonight.
4:30 PM: No smoke. 73 degrees, cloudy, and very humid. A few drops of rain are starting to fall at this time. If we have any luck the rain will continue all evening preventing anyone from burning in this stupid city.
5:25 PM: No smoke. Rain drizzle at this time. The drizzle did not last long.
8:00 PM: No smoke. The drizzle ended a while ago.
There was no wood or yard waste burning this evening. The ground was wet and that must have discouraged bonfires. There was a storm in the forecast for sometime tonight but it didn't start until prior to 5 AM Sunday morning.
