Cool Temps Remain . . . .

Cool Temps Remain . . . .

We have yet another bright morning with very chilly temperatures.  Lows dipped into the 40s again overnight, and I had to turn the furnace on this morning for a brief time.  It will be a little warmer today, but highs will still remain much below average.  I still like this better than 90 degrees. Our 10:15 AM temperature is 63°F (17°C), the humidity is 84%, and skies are clear.  Winds are from the SE at 1-4 mph, and the pressure…

This will be short and sweet since I have to leave soon for a doctor’s appointment.  Today we welcome some much cooler and less humid weather.  We probably won’t even see 70°F today, and that’s okay. Our 1:30 PM temp is 67°F, the humidity is 59%, and skies are mostly cloudy. and winds are from the north at 10 – 20 mph.  The pressure is 30.19 in and steady, and visibility is 13 miles.  The high yesterday was 69°F and…

Hot And Humid Ends, At Least For Now . . . .

Hot And Humid Ends, At Least For Now . . . .

After scattered rain showers yesterday, today will be much cooler and brighter.  The rain has ended, and we should see a lot of sun for the next four days.  The entire weekend brought intermittent rain showers  , some quite heavy, and we received almost two inches of rain total.  There certainly hasn’t been a scarcity of rain this summer, and that has been great for the farmers. Our 9:30 AM temperature is 63°F (17°C), the humidity is 82%, and skies…

Yesterday brought us several heavy rain storms.  Total rainfall was almost an inch and a half.  There was a little T and L, but nothing even close to severe.  Today is expected to be much the same, although right now, the sun is peeking through a little.  There are a lot of dark clouds, but not much precip is showing on the radar at this time.  Temperatures will be comfortable, but the humidity will make it feel very sticky. Our…

Showers And Thunderstorms For Our Saturday . . . .

Showers And Thunderstorms For Our Saturday . . . .

We had a little rain early Friday, then a thundershower overnight.  Both left about three quarters of an inch total in the rain gauge.  Our sky is overcast right now, and radar is showing more rain cells dotting the map.  I guess we won’t be doing much outdoors today. Our 11:30 AM temperature is 74°F (23°C), the humidity is 89%, and winds are from the SW at 2-5 mph.   The pressure is 29.66 in (1004.4 mb) and steady.  Visibility is…

A Rainy Friday . . . .

A Rainy Friday . . . .

Rain began late last night, and continued throughout the overnight.  There was 0.33″ in my rain gauge at 7:30 this morning, and we have had intermittent light rain since then.  We could expect some heavy thunderstorms later today, tonight, and tomorrow, but all has been calm so far.  There is a slight chance that some could be severe, but that really isn’t expected. Our 1 PM temperature is 69°F (21°C), the humidity is 94%, and winds are from the SE…

Cumulus Clouds And Very Warm Temps . . . .

We have yet another partly cloudy day with very warm temps, and almost no breeze.  There is still no rain in our forecast until tomorrow night, and temperatures will remain in the 80s until the rain moves in on Friday.  Then we are expected to  have a bit of a cool down next week.  Right now it looks like we can expect some rain this weekend, but not a total washout.  Pretty typical for summer in Michigan. Our 4 PM…

A Mix Of Clouds And Sun . . . .

Our morning began with clear skies, but now clouds have taken over.  Temperatures should be comfortable.  There is no rain in our forecast until Thursday night and it looks like there won’t be much breeze today.  Another AC day.  Why is there never much breeze when temps get hot? Our 2:15 PM temperature is 81°F, the humidity is 54%, and winds are from the west at 1-3 mph.  The pressure is 30.08 in and steady, and the dew point is…

Continued Great Weather . . . . .

Continued Great Weather . . . . .

Our lovely summer weather continues, and I really can’t say much more than that.   I sat out last night watching for northern lights, or meteors, and wouldn’t you know it!  Fifteen minutes after going out, clouds rolled in.  It wasn’t just scattered clouds, it was an entire cloud cover.   Michigan is disappointing when it comes to sky watching. Our 11:15 AM temperature is 71°F, the humidity is 65%, and winds are from the NW at 2-6 mph, and the pressure…
