Today is beginning with cool temperatures, clear skies, and a nice breeze. This is my kind of summer weather. The AC should get a rest today with highs only expected to reach the mid 70s and there is no rain in the forecast until tomorrow night and Saturday. Of course, rain is expected the weekend that we’ll be up north. With a large area of severe weather expected in the country, the storm chasers will be busy today. I just…
The morning began with dense fog and now we have light rain. Radar is showing it to be almost past us, but I don’t think that we will see much, if any, sun today. Temperatures are comfortable and winds are light, so it’s an acceptable day in my book. We are heading up north for the weekend, so I won’t be doing a blog for a few day this weekend. I hope that the weather is decent for us. Our…
The major storms which were predicted yesterday reached us about 7:30 this morning. We got a lot of rain from it but not much of anything near severe. Many areas are without power and have quite a bit of wind damage. We were lucky once again. The weather service is telling us that next month will be a hot one for us. That will make me appreciate autumn even more. As for now, I just wish the rain would stop…
Although no storms are expected today, the bad ones supposed to come in overnight and early tomorrow morning. Right now, our weather is nice with cooler temperatures and plenty of sun. We did receive a little rain yesterday but hardly enough to mention. We need a week with no rain at all. Our 3:45 PM temperature is 81°F, the humidity is 55%, and skies are partly cloudy. Winds are from the SW at 3-7 mph, and the dew point is…
After a stormy Saturday, our Sunday is much cooler but windy. We had no strong storms here, but the western and central portions of the lower peninsula had a few warnings. I haven’t heard any damage reports yet, but I’m sure there are some. We had a little thunder shower around 1 AM which left 0.34″ in my rain gauge. Now our sky is mostly clear and there is no more rain in our forecast until Tuesday. Our 10:30 AM…
Although we had a brief shower yesterday, early in the day, other storms managed to miss us. We did hear thunder as they passed us by, but no rain. It could be the same today, as there is a lot of rain showing on the radar north of us. We are promised a reprieve from this heat next week although it will still be in the 80s, just not as humid. Our 12:30 PM temperature is 85°F, the humidity is…
Southern lower Michigan fell victim to some strong storms yesterday afternoon. Storm cells were developing sporadically, and even resulted in a few tornado warnings although no touch downs. We can expect the same today and tomorrow. They all missed my area but we did have a quick shower this morning, which suddenly developed just to our west. We should get some relief from this heat and humidity next week, and it will be greatly welcome. Our 10:30 AM temperature is…
We can expect more storms to pop up this afternoon and tonight. We did have a short-lived downpour this morning which left 0.15″ in my gauge. High’s are expected to be lower than yesterday, but will still be uncomfortably hot. I feel sorry for anyone without AC. There were a few severe storm warnings late yesterday in the southern portions of our state, but I haven’t heard much in terms of damage. Storms are expected right through the weekend. Our…
We have another day of 90ish weather and needless to say, I won’t be outdoors much today. It feels like it could rain but there is little in our forecast. A heat advisory remains in effect, and our skies have a light cloud cover with somewhat filtered sun. There is a good breeze so that helps. The humidity isn’t too bad either. Our 3 PM temperature is 90°F (32°C), the humidity is 53%, and winds are from the SW at…
Our hot weather continues with highs in the 90s. With that comes the chance of thunderstorms, and those are welcome with this heat. We had no rain yesterday, but could see some late this afternoon. I always love a good summer thunderstorm as long as it doesn’t reach severe levels. Our 10:45 AM temperature is 85°F (29°C), the humidity is 66%, and skies are partly cloudy. Winds are from the S at 4-12 mph, and the pressure is 29.99 in…
