We were under a severe thunderstorm watch most of yesterday afternoon, and there were various cells of storms which formed, but I don’t think any reached severe criteria. All we had here was a brief shower that left 0.11″ in my gauge. A few areas reported small hail, but that was about it. We do have a slight chance for rain today, and it is quite windy once again. Our 2PM temperature is 71F, the humidity is 53%, and skies…
Our Monday started out with sun and warm temperatures. We are expected to have an increase in cloud cover and we could see some thunderstorms this afternoon. There is a very slight chance that some could be severe. Mid Michigan saw quite a few showers and thunderstorms yesterday afternoon, but all we got here was some sprinkles. I think our rain chances are better today. Our 12:30 PM temperature is 78°F, the humidity is 45%, and skies are mostly clear. …
Although we haven’t seen any rain yet, there is some approaching from the northeast on radar. The forecast is giving us just a slight chance for rain later so I’m not expecting much. This morning is cloudy and there isn’t much wind. The air is quite dry, so much of the rain will probably dissipate. Our 10:45 AM temperature is 67°F, the humidity is 64% and winds are calm. The pressure is 29.70 in and falling. The dew point is…

After a rainfall of over an inch on Thursday, we had clearing by afternoon, although there was a lot of smoke in the air. The air quality alert is still in effect until midnight tonight. Our skies are clear but hazy. Temperatures will be in the upper 70s today, so it should be a nice day. Our 1 PM temperature is 75°F, the humidity is 45%, and winds are from the NE at 2-7 mph.

Once again, we are dealing with smoke sent to us compliments of Canada. An air quality alert has been issued for those with breathing problems, and even those who don’t shouldn’t be outdoors too much. Yesterday brought us some rain and we got a little over an inch here. Now the sky has cleared and temperatures are making their way up to the mid 70s. Yesterday was too warm for my liking but the rest of the week should be…
This morning is very windy with rain approaching from the southwest. We could see some heavy storms later, but I think it is just light showers almost upon us now. Yesterday was very warm with highs reaching the upper 80s. There was a moderate breeze which kept things comfortable. Even lows overnight remained in the mid 70s. Our 12 noon temperature is 77°F, the humidity is 69% and skies are cloudy. Winds are from the SW at 4-16 mph, and…
We have almost clear skies with just a few scattered clouds, but one wouldn’t know it. Our sky is grey with smoke from the Canadian wildfires, even though the wind isn’t coming directly from that direction. Our temperature is very warm, and it would be very uncomfortable if not for the wind. Storms are moving in from the west and could reach us by tomorrow morning. Until then, it will remain hot and dry. Our 4:45 PM temperature is 86°F,…
Today is the beginning of some summer-like weather. High temperatures will finally reach the average and even higher. Of course, with that comes a chance of severe weather on Wednesday, but we’ll enjoy the week anyway. Our 10:30 AM temperature is 65°F, clear skies, the humidity is 39%, and winds are from the south at 2-7 mph. The pressure is 29.96 in and steady. Visibility is 10 miles and the dew point is 40°F. Yesterday’s high was 70°F and the…
My picture shows last night’s sunset through the smoke in the air. With the wind shift today, it shouldn’t be as noticeable. The northern lights are supposed to be visible tonight in most of the northern states. Hopefully, it will be clear enough to see them, and they don’t appear too late. That’s usually what happens, The national weather map is showing a mostly tranquil day with the exception of a small area in Texas. As for us, it Could…
