Today is my daughter’s birthday so we spent yesterday in the Detroit area celebrating. The weather was cloudy but temps were mild and it was dry. Today is cooler but we have more sun, so not a bad day at all. Our 12:45 PM temperature is 43°F (6°C), the humidity is 42%, and winds are from the N at 5-9 mph. The pressure is 30.00 in (1015.9 mb) and falling. The dew point is 19°F (-7°C) and visibility is 10…

It looks like tomorrow could be a repeat of Sunday. Once again, there is a slight risk for severe weather and many have not recovered yet from Sunday. So far, there are 4 confirmed tornadoes and some are still being investigated. As for us, we lost a tree but it was half dead anyway.
