Currently in the Twin Cities — July 30, 2024: A few more chances of storms

The weather, currently.

If you didn’t get any rain Sunday night, there are a few more chances of storms ahead. The first could come late Monday into early Tuesday if storms can hold together out of South Dakota. The next, better chance comes Wednesday and Wednesday night. In between any storms, expect steamy weather to prevail with highs in the upper 80s and dew points hovering around 70.

A Media Matters analysis found that last year — the hottest calendar year on record — network coverage of climate actually declined in the US. What’s worse, just 12% of reports about climate change mentioned fossil fuels as the driving cause. The media still reported on extreme weather, but stopped short of making the climate connection.

Independent climate journalism like Currently is needed more than ever. And this year, with all of these weather warnings already underway, we’ll unfortunately have plenty of opportunities to do better.
