Although my area was spared from any severe weather yesterday, the Bay City, Midland, and thumb areas weren’t so lucky.  There were various funnel clouds spotted resulting in tornado warnings but I haven’t heard of any actual touch-downs.  Wind damage was wide spread and many went through the night without power.  We are warned that tonight could give us a repeat performance.  We did have a shower earlier in the day which left 0.15″ in my rain gauge.  Right now, it’s beautiful out with clear skies and no wind.

Our 11 AM temp is 80°F (27°C), the humidity is 72%, and winds are calm.  The pressure is 30.14 in and falling.  The dew point is 70°F (21°C).  Visibility is 10 miles and the heat index is 83°F (28°C).   Yesterday’s high was 85°F (29°C) and the overnight low was 66°F (19°C).  Sunrise was at 7:11 AM and sunset will be at 7:53 PM.  Averages for this date are 77°F / 53°F.  The record high for this date  is 93°F set in 1952 and the record low is 35°F set in 1958.
