Today is starting out with light to moderate rain and temperatures much cooler than what we have had.  There was only 0.08″ in my rain gauge at 9 AM, but we have had heavier rain showers since then.  Northern Michigan received flooding rain amounts yesterday, mainly Traverse City, but we had just a few off and on sprinkles throughout the day.  We just can’t seem to get a break from this rain lately.  We are told that it is from the tropical storm over the Carolina’s which is stalling our current weather pattern.  I hope it moves on soon.

Our 9:45 AM temperature is 58F (14C), the humidity is 95%, and winds are from the WNW at 5-13 mph.  The pressure is 29.76 in (1007.8 mb) and rising.  The dew point is 58F (14C) and visibility is 7 miles.  Yesterday’s high was 76F (25C) and the overnight low was 58F (14C).  Average temps for this date are 71F / 50F.
