The heat has been stifling along with the humidity and high dew points. I’m ready for a cool down. It seems that we always go from one extreme to the other. We had a quick shower early yesterday which left 0.12″ in my gauge but it didn’t cool it done any. At least we aren’t dealing with an earthquake like California is. I have family in LA right now and but they said that they felt it by aren’t reporting…
NOAA has issued a special weather statement that we may expect heavy thunderstorms this afternoon and evening. There were a few in the state yesterday but we received one heavy shower early in the afternoon. It dropped 0.37″, just enough to get everything wet. It didn’t do anything to dampen our Holiday cookout. It was very hot yesterday and the dew point and humidity were very high all day making it uncomfortable to be outdoors even for a few minutes. …
Today will be perfect for anyone planning on spending it in the water. Highs will reach the upper 80s to 90°F, and there may be a few pop-up thunderstorms, so they’ll have to watch for those. But the day should remain mostly dry and sunny. Right now (9 AM), our temperature is 70°F (21°C), the humidity is 70%, and skies are overcast. The dew point is 60°F (16°C). Winds are from the ENE but calm at present. The pressure is…
Yesterday saw a mix of sun and clouds with some thunderstorms thrown in the mix. We received 0.29″ of rain in all, and none were severe. Between the storms was some sun and it was hot and muggy. Today won’t be quite as warm but there is still a chance for more rain. Our 9:15 AM temperature is 71°F (25°C), the humidity is 96%, and skies are overcast. The dew point is 70°F (21°C). The pressure is 29.9 in (1012.5…
Yesterday was quite uncomfortable even though the temps were a little cooler. Today will see higher temperatures and possible storms. We did get a brief shower around 9:30 this morning but it only dropped 0.03″ in my gauge. There were heavier storms to our north and there are some pretty dramatic pictures of shelf clouds taken in various areas. The picture that I’m using for my feature image was taken this morning near Birch Run. I didn’t see one here…
We haven’t had any substantial rainfall now for almost a week and there are still areas of my yard that are like a sponge. One would think that with temps in the mid to upper 80s that the ground would dry up quickly. This entire week is expected to remain hot and dry with just the chance of pop up thunderstorms possible. The forecast for Independence Day looks good, and even if there are a few storms that develop, it…
Yesterday was another fine day but I have to admit that it was a bit too hot for my liking. Today will be better with our high only expected to be around 80°F. Gradually, our lawn is drying out and the farm traffic on our roads has increased. It’s great to see the farmers finally plowing and planting. I know that the harvest will be late this year, and I just hope that the warm weather lasts well into the…
This morning is starting out with plenty of sun and very warm temperatures. There were some storms that popped up in our state Friday but all we managed to get was about a minute of hard sprinkles. We’re fine with that since our yard still has some very wet spots that we haven’t been able to mow yet. I love this weather and we have waited a long time for it. We haven’t had a lot of humidity yet so…
We have one storm passing to our north at this time. We had wind but no rain from it. The past two days have been very warm with highs in the upper 80s. Today is expected to be the same. The humidity was quite low Wednesday and Thursday which felt comfortable, but today will be a different story, and conditions will be right for severe weather to develop. This will be a “keep your eye to the sky” type day. …
Yesterday was a perfect summer day, warm and breezy. Some storms developed late in the day, and I received a weather alert from one of my weather apps, that a strong thunderstorm was approaching our area. As I watched it on radar, most of it fell apart or diminished significantly before reaching us. All we got was 0.02″ of rain and no thunder or lightning. The humidity was quite low so that’s probably why. Today is expected to be about…
