Stormy Weather Expected in Mid Michigan

Stormy Weather Expected in Mid Michigan

Last night brought thunderstorms, but they didn’t do much to cool us off.   The threat of severe weather looms over us today, so we’ll have to keep our eye to the sky this afternoon.   Hopefully, there won’t be much damage done.  Yesterday was very hot and muggy . . . . the type of day that you didn’t want to be outdoors too long.  I sat out for awhile with the dogs, but they didn’t want to stay out for very long either.   Also there wasn’t much breeze that would have  made it more bearable.

Our 9:30 AM temp is 72.8°F (22°C), the humidity is 92%, and winds are from the north but calm.  The dew point is 70°F (21°C) and the pressure is 29.92 in (1012.9 mb) and falling.  Yesterday’s high was 88°F and the overnight low was  71°F (22°C).  Visibility is 10 miles and the heat index is 74°F (23°C).  Skies are mostly cloudy.
