My flowers in my beds are looking good, but those in my pots are looking pretty bad. There is even mold forming on the dirt. Some of the leaves are starting to dry up and they aren’t blossoming as they should. This is supposed to be our dry season and it’s been raining almost everyday. There was only a 20% chance of rain today, but it still rained this morning. I’m really sick of rain. I would rather have the…
Today was supposed to be rainy, but I’m seeing now that NOAA has reduced our rain chances to just 30%. I’m hoping that we don’t get any. The mosquitoes are horrid with all the rain that we’ve had. My area really has not had a drought like other parts of the state, and I guess we should be happy about that. But at this time, I think that no areas are considered drought-stricken any longer. The extended forecast from earlier…
Our morning began with clouds but now the sun is shining. This should be a nice day. Our last day up at the campground was a wash-out and miserable. Our trip home yesterday was wet most of the way, and once we got home, the mosquitoes were terrible. I know that they said that we were in a drought, but not where I live. We have received too much rain now and it’s time for it to stop. July is…
The rain began about 8 PM last night and has increased in intensity since then. We were supposed to go home today but extended our stay one day since we don’t like packing up in the rain. This is expected to continue all day and into tomorrow morning. I’m not sure what we’ll do today since the weather will not be suitable for being outdoors. At east it has cooled down which is a blessing since our AC isn’t working….
After two very warm days, we can expect much cooler air over the next few days. We have one more day here in Indian River, then we’ll be heading for home. Rain was in our forecast for yesterday, but all the showers and thunderstorms remained well to our south. We can expect another round of showers tonight and most of tomorrow with highs only in the 60s. That will feel good to me. Our 4:15 PM temperature is 78F, the…
We will see highs near 90F today and without AC, that isn’t pleasant. It wouldn’t be so bad if we had a little wind but that isn’t happening either. Luckily, our trailer is mostly in the shade so that helps a little. Our campground is quite full although some people left today, probably to avoid the heavy traffic going home tomorrow and Monday. As for us, we’re staying until Wednesday or Thursday and there is a major cool-down coming next…
Our weather here in Indian River has been perfect so far. We have had comfortable temperatures and no rain. This will continue for the next few days, but then the hot air moves in. I’m not looking forward to it, especially since our AC isn’t working. Luckily, our trailer is on a well-shaded lot so that should certainly help. For those who were hoping for a hot July 4th, they’ll be getting their wish. Our 9:45 AM temp is 62F,…
Have you ever noticed that these small cells of thunderstorms can be the most damaging? They aren’t much more than a blip on the radar, but produce heavy rain, strong winds, and even tornadoes sometime. That’s what happened yesterday. We were under a weather advisory for a little while which claimed that we had a significant storm heading our way which could produce damaging winds. No warning, just an advisory. Regardless, we did get a little rain from it but…
Yesterday was pretty nerve-racking as storm alert after storm alert came through on my phone. It began as a severe thunderstorm watch, to a warning, then tornado warnings. This went on for about 4 hours in the late afternoon. Heavy rain accompanied this mess and 1.94″ of rain fell between yesterday morning and late last night. Needless to say, most areas in southern Michigan are now under floor warnings. We keep hearing more reports of tornado damage as the day…
We had light to moderate to heavy rain all day Friday with very few breaks. Today hasn’t been quite as bad so far, but more heavy rain is predicted for later today. There was 1.77″ of rain in my gauge this morning and my weather station is showing a total of 2.52″ over the past 48 hours. The CoCoRahs map showed that some areas near Detroit and Ann Arbor got over 5 inches. I’m also seeing that the western side…
