"Each year in the United States, Americans observe the Federal holiday, Memorial Day, the last Monday in May. It honors and remembers all men and women who have died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. Memorial Day is also a day to remember all loved ones who have passed away. Traditionally on Memorial Day, the flag of the United States of America is raised briskly to the top of the staff then solemnly lowered to the half-staff position where it remains until noon. At noon, it is then raised to full-staff for the remainder of the day. When the flag is at half-staff, the position is in remembrance of the more than one million men and women who gave their lives for their country. Raising the flag at noon signifies the nation lives, that the country is resolved not to let their sacrifice be in vain but to rise up in their honor and continue to fight for liberty and justice for all. In the United States, Memorial Day also traditionally marks the beginning of summer."

"The powerhouse typhoon is the equivalent of a Category 3 hurricane as it approaches the northernmost island of the Philippines before turning to the north, continuing its damaging path. Typhoon Mawar, which pounded Guam with destructive winds and flooding downpours earlier this week, is continuing to churn west across the Pacific Ocean and will impact more landmasses in the western Pacific and eastern Asia this week, according to AccuWeather forecasters. Mawar already achieved the status of strongest tropical cyclone on the planet so far this year, and it will remain a powerful storm as it aims for portions of the Philippines, Japan and Taiwan, with more flooding rainfall and strong winds expected this week. As of Sunday afternoon, local time, Mawar was centered across the central Philippine Sea, packing winds equivalent to that of a Category 3 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson hurricane wind scale (maximum sustained winds of 111-126 mph, or 178-208 km/h), according to the Japanese Meteorological Agency (JMA), which monitors and tracks tropical cyclones in this portion of the western Pacific tropical basin. Mawar peaked at the equivalent of a Category 5 hurricane (maximum sustained winds of at least 157 mph, or 252 km/h) on Friday after passing by Guam."

One of the weather parameters that we look at in the summertime is CAPE, which stands for Convective Available Potential Energy. This basically means that if and when surface temperatures get warm enough and air parcels start rising, how much energy is there in the atmosphere to produce thunderstorms. The loop below shows that elevated CAPE values being to creep back into the region PM Tuesday and linger through most of next week. This indicates and weather conditions look to be changing with daily thunderstorms chances across the state next week. Stay tuned!

According to NOAA's Weather Prediction Center, areas of rain will finally return after a very dry stretch. In fact, May 18th was the last measurable precipitation at the MSP Airport and it doesn't look like we'll see any rain potential until Tuesday or Wednesday. that would be an 11 to 12 day stretch of dry weather.

It could be worse: 10" snow fell on Le Mars, Iowa on May 28, 1947. I bet the locals were doing cartwheels.

Our weather-holding-pattern continues, in fact some of yesterday's clouds came from a tropical-looking system thrashing the Carolinas. What a weird and wondrous pattern, with one of the nicest Memorial Day weekends in recent memory.

"Kelvin waves, a potential precursor of El Niño conditions in the ocean, are moving towards the coast of South America across the equatorial Pacific. Recent sea level data from the US-European Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich satellite indicate the emergence of El Niño in the equatorial Pacific Ocean. The data indicates that Kelvin waves, which are approximately 5-10cm tall and hundreds of miles broad at the ocean's surface, are moving from west to east along the equator towards the west coast of South America. When they form at the equator, Kelvin waves transport heated water from the western Pacific to the eastern Pacific, which is associated with higher sea levels. A series of Kelvin waves beginning in the spring is a well-known indicator of an El Niño, a periodic climate phenomenon that can influence global weather patterns."

"Summer heatwaves are on the way, with temperatures predicted to jump into the mid-twenties this weekend and beyond. As lovely as this sounds though, as many of us have experienced year after year, sleeping in the heat can be challenging. So, why is sleeping harder when it's hot? "Our bodies need to cool down in order to sleep" explains Theresa Schnorbach, psychologist and Emma sleep scientist. "As everyone's bodies are acclimatised to different environments, there's no hard and fast rule as to what temperature your bedroom should be, but it is recommended that your sleep environment be comfortably cool – usually this means between 15.5-19°C. If we are too warm, our core temperature is unable to drop, making it more difficult to fall asleep and causing sleep disturbances," Schnorbach adds. So, how can you boost your sleep quality during summer heatwaves?"
