A Very Wet Saturday In Mid Michigan

A Very Wet Saturday In Mid Michigan

Light rain began late last night and continued throughout the night.  There was 0.88″ in my gauge at 8:30 AM.  Some areas reported thunder but none here that I know of.  We continue to have light rain as I type this, and it is expected to continue into tomorrow.  It has been a while since we had a good rain, so I guess we do need it.  Temperatures will continue to be quite mild, and there are no extreme cold air masses moving our way.  I think it is safe to say that any significant snowfall is over for the season.

Our 9:30 AM temperature is 41°F (5°C), the humidity is 99%, and skies are overcast with light rain.  Winds are from the ESE at 2-9 mph.  The pressure is 29.62 in (1003.1 mb) and steady.  Visibility is 5 miles and the dew point is 41°F (5°C).  Yesterday’s high was 55°F (13°C) and the overnight low was 40°F (4°C).  Average temps for this date are 47°F / 30°F.   Sunrise was at 7:24 AM and sunset will be at 7:58 PM.
