Currently in the Twin Cities — June 26, 2024: Cooler weather sets in

The weather, currently.

We could see a few light rain showers Tuesday night as a weak clipper and secondary cool front swings through. Highs on Wednesday through the weekend will be cooler, in the 70s.

The next more significant chance of rain develops Thursday night into Friday but most should see under one inch of any rain. The weekend is still looking dry and pleasant.

What you can do, currently.

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.
