My condolences to the people of Mississippi who were victimized last night by devastating tornadoes.  I follow a couple of storm chasers on YouTube, and they were busy giving medical aid; transporting people to hospitals and medical facilities following these storms.  It was pretty intense.  My heart goes out to the victims and those who lost loved ones or pets.  These same states seem to get hit every week, but at least most of the storms weren’t as bad as those last night.

As for us, we had light rain overnight, and other showers have developed this morning.  We are expecting snow later but no real accumulations.  The big issues will be the winds with gusts up to 40 mph possible.  My picture is of our lovely sunset last night.  There was also a lot of buzz on the Facebook Michigan Weather site of northern lights which were visible Thursday night.  There are many great pictures posted.

Our 1:15 PM temperature is 38°F (3°C), the humidity is 95%, and winds are from the ENE at 0-4 mph.  The windchill is 36°F (2°C) and visibility is 5 miles.The dew point is 34°F (1°C) and we received 0.08″ of rain as of 8:30 this morning.  The pressure is 29.29 in (991.9 mb) and falling.  Yesterday’s high was 45°F (7°C) and the overnight low was 32°F (0°C).  Average temps for this date are 48°F/28°F.  Sunrise was at 7:32 AM and sunset will be at 7:55 PM.
