We could be in store for some pretty heavy weather tonight and tomorrow. Michigan Storm Chasers are giving us a 30-40% chance for severe weather tomorrow. They will be giving updates throughout today with the latest information. Right now we have sun and very warm temperatures. Highs could reach near 90°F once again, but the storms should cool it down. Our 1 PM temperature is 83°F, the humidity is 51%, and winds are from the west at 0-5 mph, and…
The past two days have been pleasantly comfortable with temperatures barely rising to 80°F. Today will reach the mid 80s but the humidity won’t be too bad. We are being warned that the beginning of next week could be stormy, but no rain expected until then. We’ve been lucky so far when it comes to severe weather. Our 3:15 PM temperature is 82°F, the humidity is 41%, and skies are partly cloudy. Winds are from the SW at 4-11 mph,…
This cooler weather really seems good to me. I could deal with this this the rest of summer. We had a few drops of rain on Tuesday that barely measured in my gauge. Now there is no rain in the forecast until this weekend. It is getting quite dry. Our 12:45 PM temperature is 74°F, the humidity is 37%, and winds are from the WNW at 2-5 mph. The pressure is 30.43 in and steady and the dew point is…
We were expecting thunderstorms overnight, but all we got was a few drops of rain. Today is partly sunny and breezy. Temperatures are right where they should be for this time of year. Thankfully the smoke is gone but it has been replaced with high humidity. At least it’s safe to go outdoors again. Our 1 PM temperature is 82°F, the humidity is 52%, and winds are from the west at 5-11 mph. The pressure is 29.79 in and falling. …
We had a brief, heavy rainstorm yesterday afternoon that dropped 0.39″ in my gauge. It also brought cooler temperatures and less smoke for awhile. We are still under an air quality alert but smoke is not nearly as noticeable as it has been. These cooler temps are a relief after what we have had and I hope they last a while. Our 1:15 PM temperature is 74°F, the humidity is 45% and the pressure is 30.22 in and steady. The…
We thought it was bad yesterday, but the smoke in the air seems even worse today. Many outdoor events are being cancelled and this situation is really getting everyone upset. Canada has to do something about these fires. Summertime is for outdoor living and this sure hampers any camping plans. Our 3 PM temperature is 87°F, the humidity is 44%, and winds are from the SSE at 4-6 mph. The pressure is 29.89 in and falling and the dew point…
Our air today is very smokey. It looks like fog, but it’s smoke. We are warned not to go outdoors anymore than necessary and to wear a mask if possible. At least it has cooled down a bit from the previous two days. The fires are mostly in Canada but I think there is one in northern Minnesota also. We had some thunderstorms develop to our northwest late yesterday afternoon, but no rain. They managed to slip just to our…
Today will not be a good day to be outdoors. Not only because it is hot, but we are under attack from Canadian wildfires once again. It seems like this is becoming an annual event. My picture was taken at the Mackinaw Bridge this morning, and the smoke is so thick that the towers on the bridge aren’t even visible. Most hasn’t reached us yet, but the air quality alert goes into effect at 3 PM. Yesterday reached 100F for…
Today is beginning with sun and comfortable temperatures, but the next week will bring the 90s back again. It isn’t even enjoyable to be outdoors when it’s that hot; that is unless you are on the water. I leave a bowl of water for any outdoor critters that need a drink. Besides our own cats, we have a raccon and an opossum that visits us regularly. I have to bring my bird feeders in at night because the coon likes…
Our morning began with clouds, but now we have sun and partly cloudy skies. Temperatures are just warm enough and the humidity isn’t too bad. Yesterday brought a shower during the early afternoon which left 0.12 in my rain gauge, and other storms missed us. Our 2 PM temperature is 78°F, the humidity is 68%, and winds are from the NE at 0-4 mph, and the pressure is 29.89 in and steady. The dew point is 67°F and visibility is…
