Wind Damage, Flooding Rains For Our Wednesday – Mid Michigan

Yesterday was everything that they promised us it would be.  Heavy storms moved across the state dropping up to 3 inches of rain n some places and severe wind damage in others.  There were multiple tornado and severe storm warnings issued throughout the late afternoon and evening.  My area was spared but we did get 1.65″ of rain and a floor advisory was issued last night.  I haven’t heard the extent of storm damage yet but I know that the Grand Rapids area was hit quite hard.  The cold front has moved through and today will be much cooler as a result.

Our 9 AM temperature is 59.5°F (16°C), the humidity is 95%, and winds are from the NNE at 7 mph.  The dew point is 60°F (16°C).   The pressure is 30.17 in (1021.7 mb) and rising.  Yesterday’s high was 88°F (31°C) and the overnight low was 59°F (16°C).  Averages for this date are 76°F / 53°F.  Sunrise was at 7:12 AM and sunset will be at 7:59 PM.
