Perfect Labor Day Weather . . . .

Perfect Labor Day Weather . . . .

Our day began with temps in the low 50s but have now made it into the mid 70s.  That’s  perfect weather for me.  This is our last summer holiday and the weather couldn’t be nicer. Our 4 PM temperature is 75°F, the humidity is 47% and skies are partly cloudy.  Winds are from the SSE at 0-4 mph and the pressure is 30.10 in and steady.  The dew point is 55°F and visibility is 10 miles.  Yesterday’s high was 79°F…

Finally Cooling Down . . . .

Finally Cooling Down . . . .

The state is recovering from severe weather on Thursday.  Many are still without power, and the Detroit area is cleaning up from two tornadoes and 70 mph straight line winds.  The straight line winds did as much damage as the tornadoes.  Today is feeling much more comfortable after high humidity and dew points from earlier in the week.  We’re hoping that the hot weather is over for the season. Our 1:15 PM temperature is 74°F, the humidity is 59%, and…

Severe Weather, Much Damage, Power Outages . . . .

Severe Weather, Much Damage, Power Outages . . . .

Wednesday and Thursday brought severe weather to our state, but yesterday was worse.  Southern Michigan really got slammed especially the Detroit area.  My area had a lot of rain but nothing really severe.  There is still a slight chance for more today, although radar isn’t showing much, and what there is seems to be sliding to our south.  We received just under two inches of rain the past two days, and I think we have enough for a while. Our…

Storms began late yesterday and continued overnight.  The severe storms remained to our north and south, but we did get little over half and inch of rain by this morning.  We now have more storms forming over the state but there have been no weather warnings for our area.  A tornado warning has just been issued for Gratiot county which is to our northwest. Our 2 PM temperature is 80°F, the humidity is 84%, and skies are overcast.  Winds are…

Another Hot One!! . . . .

Another Hot One!! . . . .

Once again, we have another hot, very humid day.  Heavy thunderstorms are over the thumb area of the state and we have a chance for them in our area also.  we were warned of storms last night, but they never happened.  Right now we have sun and light clouds. Our 4:15 PM temperature is 91°F, winds are from the SW at 7-12 mph, and the humidity is 54%.  The pressure is 29.87 in and falling.  The dew point is 72°F…

The Heat Has Returned . . . .

The Heat Has Returned . . . .

Today is the beginning of meteorological autumn. After a rainy past two days, today is hot and dry once again.  The humidity and dew points are both high, so being outdoors is very uncomfortable.  We received little over half an inch of rain the past two days.  I’m hoping that this will be the last of our 90 degree weather.  The humming birds have been very active lately, so I think that their migration time is very near.  I’m no…
