High of 62 in Minneapolis today [View all]

That's something like 35 degrees above average.

Lots of people are thinking that's great. Until someone asks them if they can imagine July in MN at 35 degrees above normal which would put us around 118 degrees.

Now will a strict 35 degree bump hold true? Probably not but it could likely float plus or minus.
