Cooler Weather . . . .

Cooler Weather . . . .

After the very uncomfortable last two days, yesterday’s storms brought much better weather for us.  We had a line of storms move over in the afternoon, and severe TS warnings were issued, but not for us.  We just had a nice rain with a few rumbles of thunder and that was it.  It remained hot and muggy right into the overnight, but this morning is better.  We should see a considerable cool down over the holiday and I welcome it….

Could Have More Severe Weather . . . .

Could Have More Severe Weather . . . .

Our morning has cloudy skies with some sun shining through.  There is another chance for severe weather this afternoon, but mainly for the southeastern parts of the state.  There is another cold front knocking on our door, and a significant cool-down will happen early next week.  Today will be hot and humid, and hopefully, this will be the end of this high-temp weather.  I’m ready for fall. Our 9:45 PM temperature is 77°F (25°C), the humidity is 84%, and skies…

Rain Ending And Cooler Temps . . . .

Rain Ending And Cooler Temps . . . .

We had a series of intermittent showers and thundershowers throughout yesterday afternoon.  There were small cells which developed just to our northwest and left us with some pretty good rain amounts.  There was little over half an inch this morning in my gauge.  Today has been much cooler with mostly cloudy skies with filtered sun.  There is no more rain in the forecast for today, but tomorrow is expected to be wet once again. Our 11:15 AM temperature is 70°F…

Cooler Temps, Thunderstorms . . . .

Cooler Temps, Thunderstorms . . . .

Yesterday brought a sunny beginning, that ended with strong to severe thunderstorms.  We didn’t have any damage here in my area, but there was plenty to our south.  My son lives in Northville, and my daughter in Howell.  They were both without power late yesterday.  We didn’t even get that much rain, just 0.22″.  I’m seeing that southern areas, including Detroit, got as much a 3 inches.  We could still see more rain today as another cold front comes our…

Severe Weather Possible . . . .

Severe Weather Possible . . . .

There is a possibility of severe weather later today, but one would never know it now.  Other than feeling like an oven outdoors, and the humidity and dew points making it feels almost unbearable, a good thunderstorm would be welcome.  We did have some this morning, but for us, it was more thunder than rain.  There was only 0.07″ in my gauge after it passed.  Temperatures should be about 10 degrees cooler tomorrow. Our 1:45 PM temperature is 88°F (31°C),…

Heat Stroke Weather . . . .

Heat Stroke Weather . . . .

Anyone having to be outdoors today, should stay well hydrated and not be out anymore than necessary.  Not only are the temperatures going to be very hot, but the dew point and humidity will create a very high heat index.  A heat advisory, as well as a good chance for severe weather, have been issued by the Weather Service for tomorrow.  A few storms could develop today but a very slight chance. Our 1:45 PM temperature is 88°F (31°C), the…

Rain Added To Our Forecast . . . .

Rain Added To Our Forecast . . . .

What was supposed to be a dry period has now changed.  There is now a very slight chance of some thunderstorms developing late this afternoon.  Any storms that do happen will be few and far between, but the chance still remains.  Some could even be very strong.  Our sky is already beginning to cloud up a bit, and there was a sign that we could have had some light rain overnight.  There was  0.01″ in my gauge at 8 AM,…

Another Dry, Sunny Day Ahead . . . .

Another Dry, Sunny Day Ahead . . . .

We have another sunny morning, but it is much warmer than than the past three.  Today will begin a heat wave which will last into half of next week.  We could even see 90°F one more time.  There is still no rain in the forecast until next Thursday night and we are enjoying this dry period.  It’s been a chore keeping up with mowing the lawn. Our 9:45 AM temperature is 69°F (21°C), the humidity is 74%, and skies are…

Great Weather Continues . . . .

Great Weather Continues . . . .

This is the month when all the flower beds are in their peek.  Unfortunately, it doesn’t last too long before the first frost comes and destroys them.  But it is what it is, and soon the fall colors will appear.  I’m already seeing a little color happening in the field behind our house.  Maybe these chilly nights have been contributing to it.  We have a very warm weekend ahead of us, and hot weather will continue into next week. Our…

Loving This Cool Weather . . . .

Loving This Cool Weather . . . .

We have another comfortable day ahead of us.  Our last night’s lows were wonderful for sleeping with the window open, and tonight should be as well.  We should be able to enjoy this weather until the weekend, when highs will again reach into the upper 80s.  I’m hearing that this will be a cool autumn for our area.  I just hope it isn’t too cool.  The 60s and 70s would be fine with me.  I’ve been noticing how green everything…
