Well, it looks like ex-Hurricane Francine will be missing us entirely and I’m not complaining about that.  It has now been downgraded to a tropical storm, but not without leaving it’s mark on Louisiana and Mississippi.  Our national weather map shows that is isn’t quite finished yet, with tornadoes very possible in Mississippi and Alabama today.  There is also severe weather possible in the northwest, but all is good here in Michigan.  Summer continues to be hanging on here. I’m noticing a little color starting to develop in the trees now.

Our 9AM temp is 62°F (17°C), the humidity is 100%, and winds are calm.  The pressure is 30.01 in (1016.3 mb) and rising, and the dew point is 62°F (17°C).  Skies are clear but hazy with wildfire smoke.  Visibility is 4 miles.  Yesterday’s high was 83°F (28°C), and the overnight low was 55°F (13°C).  Average temps for this date are 74°F/51°F.  Sunrise was at 7:14 AM, and sunset will be at 7:53 PM.
