Where are you seeing that data? It looks to me like the dewpoints are going to stay down quite a bit for Friday and Saturday. Maybe you're seeing a different source than I am.

My info comes from the Paul Douglas blog on the strib site + the forecast discussions from the Chanhassen office of the NWS.

The following is from the latest NWS discussion, issued early this morning; I've put the key parts in bold text (apologize in advance for the all-caps, but that's how they do things there):

AMPLIFYING UPPER AIR PATTERN SETS UP FOR FRIDAY AND SATURDAY AHEAD
OF VERY STRONG UPPER TROF IN NW U.S./BC. THIS ALLOWS THE FRONT IN
IOWA TO SURGE BACK NORTH AGAIN TOWARD S MN FRIDAY AND INTO S OR
PERHAPS CNTRL MN ON SATURDAY. HEAT AND HUMIDITY MAKE A RAPID RETURN
WITH HEAT INDEX BACK UP INTO THE 100 DEGREE RANGE IN S MN FRIDAY AND
SATURDAY.

BUMPED UP POPS FOR FRIDAY NIGHT ACROSS AREA WITH STRONG UPPER
DIVERGENCE IN RRQ OF UPPER JET TRANSVERSING THE AREA AND VERY STRONG
INSTABILITY. LOOKS LIKE A PRETTY GOOD SETUP FOR POSSIBLE HEAVY
RAINS WITH 45 KT LLJ OVERRUNNING WARM FRONT ACROSS S MN. IMPRESSIVE
ELEVATED INSTABILITY WITH 850 MB LIFTED INDEX VALUES IN B8 RANGE.

SATURDAY LOOKS LIKE A SEVERE THREAT AS STRONG NEGATIVELY TILTED
UPPER TROF ROTATES ACROSS AREA.

Rice Creek, at a location very near that bridge, is one of our sample points as part of a metro water quality and bacteria study. A sample from that day would have shown some interesting concentrations of some interesting substances :)

That's because, as a resident of Edina, Perrier comes out of your tap. :)

Actually, I wish. Edina city water is legendary for being super hard. It does come from a fairly deep aquafer though so no corn or diesel fuel in it. The city does over-chlorinate it though in my view so we filter our drinking water as well as soften all of it.

Some of us GPLers were at Town Hall Brewery. It teased for a bit, then boomroasteddownpour. Of course, anyone with a smartphone in the bar checked their smartphones to look at the weather radar. :D

We all laughed at the U2 attendees, too. "Yay, $300 and I'm gonna be in the front row! Wheeee!" Oops. I didn't leave during the first lull in the rain, and that was a mistake. An hour later or so, a second lull happened, and I booked. Wise choice. Missed the concert crowd, and could sorta see on the drive home.

That would explain why I randomly saw fireworks in the distance while driving down University Ave to 694...

U2 concert, Aquatenniel fireworks, Twins game this afternoon (and many stayed in the area post-game)...

Traffic was lovely.

We laughed at the U2 people too. We also got soaked at Country Jam, but we only paid 50 for 5 shows which included Zac Brown who is much better than U2. :D

We were at 7 Corners, so we could hear the concert. And it was torrential downpour. There were puddles on the street a few inches deep.
 
Re: Minnesotans arguing about the weather...

So that was a pretty good t-storm here in downtown as viewed from the 24th floor. Was a little concerned about the galss holding as it vibrated away.
