Coldest Temperature Readings of the Fall Season So Far
Posted at 1:40 PM on November 16, 2011
by Mark Seeley
Paul pointed out the cold readings for the Metro Area this morning. Indeed the cold air last night was very widespread with abnormally low dewpoints (dry air). Between 7:00 and 7:30 pm last night Donaldson (Kittson County) reported an air temperature of just 10 degrees F with a dewpoint of only 7 degrees F, while Pipestone (Pipestone County) also reported 10 degrees F with a dewpoint of 7 degrees F. With the cold air mass in place into tonight it is possible some areas of the state will see their first single digit lows of the fall season before tomorrow morning.
