Storms Didn’t Disappoint . . . . .

After a very stormy nights, we woke to clear skies and bright sunshine this morning.  The storms rolled through my area between 11 pm and midnight.  They brought heavy rain and strong winds with them.  I think my area got off easy and I haven’t heard of any significant damage nearby.  There were tornado and severe storm warnings for about 4-5 hours, mostly to our western counties.  There were many reports of possible tornadoes but we have to wait for…

Severe Storms On The Way . . . . .

We have been warned for the past week that tonight may be challenging for us weather-wise.  Conditions will be good for severe storms moving across our state.  My area is right on the line between the major threat and the lesser threat, if that means anything.  The storms are expected here at around midnight. Our 2 PM temperature is 80°F, the humidity is 56%, and skies are partly cloudy.  Winds are from the SE at 4-6 mph, and the pressure…

Rain In Our Forecast . . .

Rain In Our Forecast . . .

After a dry Tuesday, I think that we may see some rain today or tonight.  Some areas got quite a bit of rain yesterday, but all we got was a slight period of mist.  Everything is nice and green and still damp from last week’s rain, and they are still telling us that we could see strong or severe storms late tomorrow.  We’ll just have to wait and see on that one. Our 11 AM temperature is 71°F, the humidity…

Temps Starting To Fall . . . .

We had cloudy skies but warm temps first thing this morning.  Now there is light rain moving in from the southeast and temperatures are falling.  I think we’ve seen our high for the day.  Yesterday was beautiful with summer-like temperatures and windows were open all night.  We aren’t expecting anymore dry weather until Thursday.  They are also warning of possible severe weather late Thursday.  Hopefully we’ll be spared. Our 3 PM temperature is 70°F (21°C), the humidity is 83%, and…

Summer-Like Today . . .

Summer-Like Today . . .

It is very warm today, and even the wind coming in my windows feels like the furnace is on.  I’m not complaining.  It feels really good after the up and down temps that we’ve lately.  Unfortunately, we are expecting more storms on Thursday.  We have to expect that when it gets this warm this early in the year.  We have a mix of sun and clouds right now but there is no precip in the forecast. Our 2:15 pm temperature…

A Sunny, Warm Mother’s Day . . . .

We couldn’t have nicer weather for Mother’s Day.  All my kids are home and we sat outdoors yesterday, then a cookout for dinner.  Today will be just as nice but a bit cooler.  It will still be comfortable.

Sunny But Cooler . . . .

Sunny But Cooler . . . .

Yesterday was perfect with plenty of sun and clear skies most of the day.  Then in the early evening, a thunderstorm developed just to our west, and we received another 0.18″ of rain from it.  It was a bit of a surprise and just happened suddenly.  Regardless, I think we have enough rain for a while.  Today, we have mostly clear skies with a few scattered clouds, but temperatures are much cooler.  Still not a bad day. Our 11:30 AM…

A Beautiful Day On Tap For Us

A Beautiful Day On Tap For Us

After 3 days of wet, cool weather, we have sun and warm temperatures today.  Our total rainfall since Sunday is 1.33 inches.  That’s a good watering for the newly planted fields in our area.  I’m hearing that parts of our state are having drought conditions, so I hope that they benefited from some of this rain. Our 2 PM temperature is 73°F (23°C), the humidity is 47%, and skies are mostly clear.  Winds are from the west at 4-9 mph,…

A Dark And Damp Day. . . . .

A Dark And Damp Day. . . . .

The rain began overnight, and has continued through the morning hours.  We are getting a break now but I don’t think it will last long.  It is coming right out of the north as it circles the low pressure center to our southeast.  The good  thing is that temps are quite mild, so not a bad day to be out and about as long as you dodge the raindrops.  The rain is expected to continue until tonight, then tomorrow look…
