Lovely Weather . . . . .

Lovely Weather . . . . .

We had to go to Detroit early this morning, and the weather is lovely.  Skies are almost clear and the temperature is perfect.  Temperatures will remain in the 70s through the weekend, then back to the 80s again next week.  I’m loving it as long as it doesn’t get very humid. Our 3 PM temperature is 74°F (23°C), the humidity is 30%, and winds are from the SW at 5-9 mph.  The pressure is 30.26 in (1024.7 mb) and falling,…

Not A Bad Day . . . .

Not A Bad Day . . . .

After a mostly dreary Tuesday, today is pretty nice.  Temperatures will rise into the upper 60s and it is breezy but not too bad.  It’s perfect for getting some yard work done.  The current forecast isn’t calling for anymore rain until Saturday.  That’s fine.  I think we have enough for now. Our 1:15 PM temperature is 64°F (18°C), the humidity is 70%, and skies are partly cloudy.    Winds are from the north at 3-9 mph, and the pressure is 30.21…

Cool But Pleasant . . . .

Cool But Pleasant . . . .

Our morning was wet, but now the sky is clearing and it seems though the rain is done for now.  We still have a chance for some showers this afternoon, but I like the sun better.  We had light rain and drizzle all day yesterday and there was 0.21″ in my rain gauge.  Temps should rise to near 70°F, so it will be comfortable. Our 12:45 PM temperature is 70°F, the humidity is 64%, and skies are mostly cloudy.  Winds…

Gloomy And Wet Memorial Day . . . .

Gloomy And Wet Memorial Day . . . .

It is not a pretty day for those driving home from their holiday venues.  We had quite a bit of rain late yesterday and overnight.  There was 0.35″ in my rain gauge, and quite a few lightning strikes on my weather station.  I wasn’t aware of any thunder, so I must have slept through it.  Today began with fog and light sprinkles and mist.  The sky looked pretty stormy but is now just overcast grey.  The biggest issue is the…

Expecting Rain . . . .

Expecting Rain . . . .

We had a campfire last night and the weather was perfect.  Temps were nice with a light jacket, no mosquitoes, and clear skies with plenty of stars.  We were even serenaded by coyotes, and saw the International Space Station fly over.  Couldn’t get any better than that.   Today is supposed to be dry until later, then thunderstorms are expected by tonight.  Our morning was sunny but clouds are starting to develop.  Overall, it’s a very nice holiday weekend. Our 12:45…

Our 11:45 PM temperature is 72°F, the humidity is 75%, and skies are mostly cloudy.  Winds are from the west at 6-11 mph and the pressure is 29.87 in and steady.  The…

May Be A Wet Holiday Weekend . . . .

May Be A Wet Holiday Weekend . . . .

Mother Nature isn’t giving us a break from severe weather this weekend.  Even my area could see some strong storms tomorrow and tomorrow night.  Today should be a winner  with warm temps and plenty of sun.  Winds will be light and the humidity at a comfortable range.  So today is the pick day for any outdoor activities. Our 11 AM temperature is 70°F, the humidity is 45%, and winds are from the SE at 2-3 mph.  Skies are mostly clear. …

Warm And Breezy . . . .

Warm And Breezy . . . .

Yesterday was sunny and very warm, but the strong wind made it unpleasant to be outdoors.  Today is much better and it won’t be quite as warm as yesterday.  I’m happy to have the AC off and my windows open.  Tomorrow starts the holiday weekend, and it looks like it may be a bit wet.  Temperatures will be on the cool side so probably not too good for any water sports. Our 1:30 PM temperature is 78°F (26°C), the humidity…

Severe Weather Possible For Us . . . .

Severe Weather Possible For Us . . . .

The weather service has us, as well as much of the mid portions of the country,  targeted for severe weather today.  What’s worse is that my area is expecting it late tonight or early tomorrow morning.  Yesterday’s storms stayed to our north although we did get 0.20″ of rain.  Severe storm warnings were issued for counties just north of us  There are a  lot of lightning strikes showing on my weather station, but none were close. Our 10:30 AM temperature…

Thunderstorms . . . .

Thunderstorms . . . .

A large thunderstorm just missed us.  We were in Owosso shopping, and it appeared that they got a lot of it.  As for us, we had a few sprinkles.  I’m glad that it held off until we got home.  There is nothing more on radar heading our way.  At least for now.  Yesterday really turned out to be a hot day with highs reaching the upper 80s.  Today is expected to be the same, so any storms popping up should…
