A big Thunderstorm from the West last Saturday night was anticipated to drop nearly 1” of Rain, but quickly shifted to the South and barely nicked the edges of Hennepin County where some local stations barely reported .10”. My station didn’t even get a Trace. This would’ve been a beneficial soaking. Areas to the South reported upwards to the 1”, with one station reporting 2.01”. We’ve continued to see threats of Rain/Thunderstorms, but nothing comes through.
The ground is very dry and constant manual watering is required for potted plants and other flowers. I’m on the verge of changing down to Severely Dry.
Forecast: Random chances of Thunderstorms and Rain with the best chance mid-week and maybe up to .5”.  The other chances are lest than .1”. Remains hot into the 80’s, then slight cooling to the mid 70’s. Light to moderate Winds.
