Another Chance For Storms . . . .

Another Chance For Storms . . . .

Our state was very lucky yesterday that the severe weather remained south of us.  We continue to have a chance for storms today, with the heat and humidity what it is.  Thankfully, we have a significant cool-down coming next week, with highs most days remaining in the 70s and lows at night in the 50s.  That’s my kind of weather. Our 1:30 PM temperature is 82°F, the humidity is 55%, and skies are mostly cloudy with hazy sun.  Winds are…

Hot And Humid . . . . .

Hot And Humid . . . . .

Yesterday began with sun and ended with some state-wide severe weather.  We had a few showers and a little thunder, but nothing severe.  As of late last night, many on the west side of the state were without power, and severe thunderstorm warnings were in effect until the wee hours of the morning.  We could see a repeat tonight. Our 12:30 PM temperature is  78°F, the humidity is 67%, and skies are mostly clear although I think there is smoke…

Storms On The Way . . . .

Storms On The Way . . . .

The severe thunderstorm watch area hasn’t quite reach us as yet, but I’m expecting it any time.  Fox weather radar is showing it to hit us about 6 or 7 PM.  I find the Fox radar to be most accurate when it comes to timing these storms.  Right now, we have hazy sun but the clouds are becoming more dense.  Temperatures are expected to reach the mid 80s by the time the storms reach us, and I’m not seeing much…

Partly Cloudy With Possible Rain Ahead . . . .

Partly Cloudy With Possible Rain Ahead . . . .

Over the past two days, we finally got some much needed rain.  Our overall weather has been hot and humid and this is typical for August in Michigan.  We could see some strong storms over the weekend and early next week, but that’s always a possibility when the weather is hot and humid. Our 12 noon temperature is 79°F, the humidity is 70%, and skies are partly cloudy.  Winds are from the SW at 2-7 mph, and the pressure is…

More Rain On The Way . . . .

More Rain On The Way . . . .

Yesterday, the rain moved in during the early afternoon, then became heavier as the day wore on.  The heaviest came during the early evening up until about 9 PM.  We received just under two inches of rain.  So far today, it has been dry but it looks like we will get a little more.  Temperatures are much cooler and that always makes me happy. Our 1:30 PM temperature is 75°F, the humidity is 83%, and skies are overcast.  Winds are…
