It seems like we are never going to warm up this year. Temperatures can’t even make it to the predicted highs. We were suppose to reach 70° yesterday and my thermometer only read 63° as the warmest. Tuesday never made it out of the 50s. Local meteorologist, Mark Torragrossa, is blaming it on the amount of ice cover on the great lakes that we’ve had this winter. I guess we shouldn’t complain considering what’s going on in the rest of…
The weather this month has been very unseasonable for us. Usually May brings warm temps and sunny skies. This year, it has seemed more like April. We have had way too much rain and very few days where the high has reached the average levels. On the positive side, severe storms have been scarce with the exception of the tornado back in March, but other than that, it has been pretty tame. We certainly have been lucky considering what all…
My prayers go out for those in Ohio who spent a night of terror Monday, as tornadoes and severe storms spread across the state. Our Memorial Day was quite nice with sun in the early hours, becoming cloudy later and rain developing by evening. At least we didn’t have to deal with anything severe. Today is wet and cool with our highs, once again, below where they should be. This has been the norm since spring began. We are all…
Our Monday is beginning with plenty of sun, light breezes and warm temperatures. It couldn’t be any nicer. My kids were all home for the weekend and it was my younger son’s birthday, so we were busy all weekend. I don’t really feel like doing anything today. I’m on a heart medication which strips me of a lot of energy, so getting motivated to get out and work in the yard can be challenging. That’s okay. Guess I’ll just enjoy…
Yesterday was mostly dry but we did have a moderate shower in the afternoon. Temps reached the upper 70s and the humidity made it feel like July. Today is cooler with less humidity and there is another chance for more rain which we certainly don’t need. The central sections of the state have flooding but we have been lucky. My thoughts and prayers go out to those states that are under water and ravaged by tornadoes. Not a good way…
This morning is quite windy and more storms are in our forecast for this afternoon. It is already very warm and muggy, and it feels like a storm. Temps rapidly reached the upper 70s and I’m thinking that it will get warmer that the predicted high. We had 0.71″ in the rain gauge this morning. 0.32″ was from yesterday morning and the rest was from overnight thunderstorms. Thankfully, we were spared from any severe weather although they were pretty loud….
Our morning began with clouds and a few sprinkles. There has been way too much rain this spring. It has rained at least 5 out of 7 days of every week since spring began. I guess I should be thankful that we aren’t dealing with tornadoes and floods that much of the nation is experiencing, but really, couldn’t we get a week of dry weather soon? We’ve been having to mow the lawn every 4 days, and when you have…
A line of thunderstorms moved across the state early this morning. Between yesterday morning’s showers and the storms today, we received 0.27″ total rain over the past 24 hours. We have been lucky that the storms affecting the mid portions of the country have diminished significantly before reaching our area. Once again, Missouri is the victim of Mother Nature’s wrath causing severe damage to that state. This year’s spring weather has been very damaging to this country. I hope it…
Yesterday was a pretty okay day with sun most of the day. There were periods of cloudiness but it was dry. Temps only made it into the low 60s but breezes were light so it wasn’t too bad. Today is expected to be wet especially this morning. Radar is showing an area of light rain passing over and it appears that it will be over by noon. We could see some sun later today. There was 0.04″ in my rain…
There isn’t much happening in our forecast today. We received a little rain overnight as there was 0.01″ in my gauge. Today should be quiet and partly sunny with light winds, so it appears to be an okay day. Last night was very stormy for our friends in Oklahoma although I haven’t heard any damage reports yet. A Facebook friend of mine who lives near Oklahoma City said that a tornado struck about 10 miles from him but he was…
