Effects Of Hurricane Beryl . . . .

Effects Of Hurricane Beryl . . . .

The Gulf coast of Texas is bracing for what could be a significant hurricane.  Storm surge is expected to be massive, as well as a widespread tornadic event.  As for us, we could see the effects on Wednesday, with thunderstorms and heavy rain amounts which could cause flooding.  At this time, it appears that Beryl will be moving right over us, and of course, this could change.  A more accurate prediction will be available tomorrow. Our 10:15 AM temperature is…

A Perfect Summer Day . . . .

A Perfect Summer Day . . . .

Today couldn’t be nicer.  Temperatures are warm, but not too hot.  There is a light breeze and it isn’t too humid.  Unfortunately, we have hurricane Beryl to look forward to.  Of course it won’t be as bad as what Texas is expecting, but we could see a very large rain event from it.  Local meteorologists are predicting 2-3 inches in parts of the state.  This is expected on Wednesday and into Thursday and it won’t be pleasant for anyone on…

All The Storms Missed Us . . . .

All The Storms Missed Us . . . .

Mid Michigan was pounded by severe storms yesterday afternoon.  There was even on unconfirmed tornado, somewhere in the thumb area.  Other than that, there was wind damage reported  in Clare county.  All we got was a few claps of thunder and some sprinkles.  Today is cloudy and cooler temperatures.  I think we may be able to leave the AC off for a change.  Rain remains in our forecast for later this afternoon. Our 11 AM temperature is 69°F (21°C), the…

More Rain On The Way . . . . .

More Rain On The Way . . . . .

Our holiday was quite nice.  We did have a few sprinkles but not enough to measure.  Skies were cloudy most of the day so highs never reached the expected high temperature.  This morning is sunny and skies are mostly clear, but thunderstorms are expected this afternoon. Our 9:30 AM temperature is 73°F, the humidity is 80%, and winds are from the NW at 1-3 mph.  The pressure is 29.84 in and steady.  Skies are mostly clear and visibility is 10…

Happy 4TH Of July . . . .

Happy 4TH Of July . . . .

Our holiday is starting out with cloudy skies and very warm temperatures.  The sun looks like it is trying to push it’s way through the clouds, but not doing a very good job.  We do have a slight chance for rain later, but all the rain is to our south at this time.  We could see highs reaching close to  90 degrees this afternoon, and that should make some people happy. Our 12 noon temperature is 81°F (22°C), the humidity…

A Mix Of Sun And Clouds . . . . .

A Mix Of Sun And Clouds . . . . .

Today, we can expect a mix of sun and clouds with possible rain thrown in the mix.  It will also be very warm for those on vacation this week.  That is pretty much the forecast for most of the week, although 4th of July seems to be the pick day.  June has been a wet one for us, and July has been forecasted to be hot and dry.  That remains to be seen.  I’m surprised that the mosquitoes aren’t worse…

Cloudy But Nice . . . .

Cloudy But Nice . . . .

Today began with sun, but now clouds have taken over.  We could get a little rain, but most is expected to fall apart before reaching us.  We really don’t need any more for awhile.  Temperatures should remain in the 70s which will be comfortable.  This will be a nice week for 4th of July, but there shouldn’t be much, in the way of rain, to dampen the Holiday for most. Our 2:30 PM temperature is 75°F, the humidity is 66%,…
