Dewpoint temperatures are plummeting, now down in the mid 30's. With brisk northerly winds and a rapidly drying airmass, the 65+ degree temperatures we're experiencing right now doesn't feel like 65.
Speaking of cold, I checked in with International Falls, MN, the 'icebox of the nation'.
Here is what one NWS product put out earlier today:
1st Recorded Temperature in the Teens for the Month of September at International Falls
The low temperature at 7:06 am this morning at International Falls was 19 degrees. This breaks the record low for a September 15th, 24 degrees, set in 1964. This is the coldest temperature reported for so early in the season. This also marks the first time in station history that a temperature in the teens has been recorded in the month of September.
Other media outlets are recognizing this early chill for our nation's 'icebox'.
Here's one from LIVE SCIENCE
