More Dreariness in the Weather Forecast

And the dreariness goes on.

Cloudy and rainy weather continues to dominate Norhtfield’s forecast.

While the area hasn’t received a lot of rain so this month—the Twin Cities has received 0.23 inches of rain so far in June, as compared an average of 0.76 inches, according to the weather service’s climate report—our weather recently has been marked by cloudy skies and cooler-than-average temperatures. For instance, Thursday’s high of 58 was 18 degrees below the average high for June 6.
