Currently in the Twin Cities — November 21, 2023: Cooler and breezy

The weather, currently.

The first of two reality checks blows in Tuesday. A cold front will push through early Tuesday morning and kick up some wind. Look for another mostly cloudy day Tuesday with northwest winds 10-25 mph. Highs Tuesday will be just around 40 which is actually normal.

We’re briefly warmer Wednesday before the second more potent front comes in. Wednesday will be close to 50 but Thanksgiving looks chilly with highs in the mid 30s. We remain in the 30s into the weekend. Overnight lows could reach the teens at MSP for the first time this season early Friday morning. We should normally have seven overnights in the teens in November.

We’re out of time for 1.5°C. I’m not sure what else to say. 💔

What you can do, currently.

Everyone deserves to thrive. Everyone is worthy of a better world. That’s why we’re building a weather service for the climate emergency.

Currently’s new weather service is now live. In the weeks and months ahead, we’ll be continually adding more features and opening up more slots as we develop the service.

But for now, space is limited in the weather service because I want to make sure we can provide the highest quality service we possibly can while we work to refine the system with your input.

If you’d like to put your name on the waiting list, be sure to fill out our baseline survey if you haven’t already which will hold your spot in line.

Our goal — as always — is to co-create the most personalized, most informative weather service that exists. And, above all, to make this service accessible, equitable, and resilient enough to bring safety and joy to the climate emergency.
