Severe storms today, a comfy break, then the heat returns
Another round of thunderstorms is possible this evening, with the greatest severe weather threat focused south and east of the Mankato/North Mankato area.

Thursday and Friday will bring a couple of cooler, more comfortable summer days with lower humidity, light wind and highs generally in the low to upper 80s.

University of Minnesota Extension Resources After Hail Events
Reports of hail associated with the strong storms that blew through much of the south central part of the state on Tuesday June 23rd reached our team of crops Extension Educators. In particular, a narrow band from Cosmos, MN in southern Meeker county to south of highway 212 in Glencoe was particularly hit. While some areas had pea sized hail that gathered in piles on the ground, some 1.5 to 2 inch sized hail was also reported. Field scouts found varying degrees of damage in both corn and soybeans from leaf shredding to complete removal of biomass down to the stalk. While instinct can push farmers toward action, often the best thing to do for mid to late season hail situations is to wait and assess regrowth.
