Thunderstorms developed right over our area yesterday afternoon putting an end to our dry spell. I never did hear what the highest gust of wind was but I’m speculating that it had to be around 50-60 mph. Many trees were down in Owosso and power was out most of the night. I was in Owosso when it hit so I’m not sure how bad it was at my house, but there didn’t seem to be any damage although there was…
This morning is pleasantly cool with cloudy skies and thunderstorms in our forecast for this afternoon. It has been over a week since we’ve had a decent rain, and with temps near 90° everyday, the ground is really getting dried out. The remnants of Tropical Storm Barry is expected to head our way and I’m hoping that it doesn’t change directions. We’ll just have to wait and see. This morning’s 9 AM temp is 70°F (27°C), the humidity is 58%,…
With all the complaining that we did about too much rain, now we could really use some. We haven’t had a good rain since July 5, and with all of this heat, it is really getting dry. Today will still be quite comfortable but then we are really going to get hit with some temps well into the 90s. That’s much too hot for my liking. Tropical Storm Barry will be moving our way and that seems to be our…
Today will start another surge of hot, humid weather which will continue well into next week. This morning is cool with clear skies, and temps are expected to climb into the upper 80s this afternoon. There is also the chance of some rain with a weak cold front moving across the state. Unfortunately, it isn’t going to last long. Our 9 AM temperature is 73°F (23°C) , the humidity is 68% and the dew point is 61°F (16°C). The pressure…
Our morning is a little chilly but it feels good. We should see the sun a little later and this will probably be our last comfortable day for a while. There is more extreme heat heading our way and I don’t like it. It gets too hot to even go outdoors for a few minutes. At least the rain has ceased and the lawn has totally dried out . . . . finally! Our 9:15 AM temperature is 63°F (17°C),…
The severe weather that was to happen yesterday never did. In fact, we got no rain at all here. Most of it remained in northern Michigan and the U.P. I haven’t heard reports of any damage although some were pretty strong. Today is much cooler with lower dew points and I don’t think that we will need the AC. Right now (10:30 AM), our temp is 76°F (24°C), the humidity is 61% and winds are from the NW at 8…
The weather service is warning that we could see severe storms later today and tonight, but this morning is clear and very pleasant. We have a grey haze to our sky caused from the wildfires in Canada. After a couple of cooler, dryer days, we will be back in the heat again with more humidity. That is expected to result in some heavy, if not severe, thunderstorms this afternoon and tonight. I hope that they don’t cause too much damage…
Although we received a few day reprieve from the stifling heat and humidity, unfortunately, it won’t last long. I guess we have to accept that it is July and this is normal. The weather service is saying that we could get severe weather tomorrow night, and we certainly don’t need any of that either. At least the sun is out and there is no rain in our forecast for today and that’s a good thing. Our 9:15 AM temperature is…
This weather is such a blessing after the heat of the preceding week. Yesterday was gorgeous and we were able to turn off the AC at night for a change. Today should be nice also with cooler, dryer air and we can have our windows open for a change. I love it! Our 9 AM temp is 60°F (16°C), the humidity is 76% and skies are clear except for a grayish hue from the wildfires to our north in Canada. …
Our weather today couldn’t be nicer. Humidity and dew points are lower, and temperatures are comfortable with a nice breeze and clear skies. My son was here for the weekend and we spent most of today siting outdoors until he had to go home. I have the AC on but I’m sure that we’ll be able to turn in off this evening. The fresh air will be wonderful tonight. Our 2:45 PM temperature is 79°F (26°C), the humidity is 40%,…
