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…
Sunday brought a motley weather situation to Michigan including some tornado warnings. We had the first storm pass over which brought hard rain and strong winds, and dumped about 0.30 inches on us in about 15 minutes. The second storm later in the day passed over with a steady rain and no wind. The second storm brought a severe storm warning to us but it was quite tranquil. There was storm damage done in the thumb area but I didn’t…
Our morning is beginning with showers and mild temperatures. There was 0.27″ in my gauge and light rain continues. It appears that this will be a wet weekend with the possibility of strong thunderstorms tomorrow. At least the temperatures will be warm. I’m glad that my husband got the lawn mowed yesterday. Our 8:45 AM temperatures is 47°F (8°C), the humidity is 76% and winds are from the east at 7 mph. The dew point is 43°F (6°C) and the…
I have been gone the past three days to our campground in Topinabee. I usually blog from there but they were in the process of installing a new WiFi system in the park, so I had no internet to work with. The weather was beautiful with sun everyday and highs reaching near or at 70°F. It was far better than what we expected. Today has rain in the forecast, and we just had a quick shower a few minutes ago…
It isn’t supposed to be like this on Mother’s Day. It’s supposed to be warm, sunny, and very pleasant to be outdoors. But no! It isn’t that way at all. This has really been a crummy spring for us. All we seem to get is rain and cold temperatures. If we do get a nice, sunny day, we pay for it over the following 4-5 days. I’m glad that we’re heading up north tomorrow. Believe it or not, the upcoming…
