Our morning began with clear skies, but now clouds have taken over. Temperatures should be comfortable. There is no rain in our forecast until Thursday night and it looks like there won’t be much breeze today. Another AC day. Why is there never much breeze when temps get hot? Our 2:15 PM temperature is 81°F, the humidity is 54%, and winds are from the west at 1-3 mph. The pressure is 30.08 in and steady, and the dew point is…
Our lovely summer weather continues, and I really can’t say much more than that. I sat out last night watching for northern lights, or meteors, and wouldn’t you know it! Fifteen minutes after going out, clouds rolled in. It wasn’t just scattered clouds, it was an entire cloud cover. Michigan is disappointing when it comes to sky watching. Our 11:15 AM temperature is 71°F, the humidity is 65%, and winds are from the NW at 2-6 mph, and the pressure…
We were surprised by a little rain late last night. It happened around midnight, and left 0.07″ in my gauge. I was seeing small cells scattered on our radar map, and one just happened to move right over us. It only lasted about 5 minutes, just enough to get everything wet. Today has a mix of sun and clouds, and temperatures should be a little warmer than yesterday. It will also be a little breezy, so another good day to…
Yesterday was lovely, and today will also be nice, but temperatures will remain much below normal. In addition, winds will be quite strong making it feel even cooler. I guess we could say that it will be a sweatshirt day here in Michigan. I don’t have a problem with it and will take this weather over 90 degrees anytime. There is no rain mentioned in our forecast until next Friday. Our 10 AM temperature is 62°F (17°C), the humidity is…
We have clear skies, clear air, and a nice breeze to keep the house cool without the AC. I’m loving it. Yesterday was quite nice, but hardly any breeze, and the house did get quite warm by late afternoon. There is no rain in our forecast at this time, at least up until next Thursday. Temperatures are expected to stay in the comfortable range, so it looks like perfect weather to me. Our 1:45 PM temperature is 74°F (23°C), the…
Some are saying that it feels like fall, but for me, it’s ideal. I was working out in the yard yesterday and the mosquitoes weren’t bothering me for a change. We received almost an inch and a half of rain early yesterday, and one would think that the yard would be very wet, but it wasn’t. This entire week is expected to be on the cool side and I’m loving it. Our 9:30 AM temp is 68°F (20°C), the humidity…
After the heavy rain, and even a tornado, our Tuesday afternoon was quite nice although very chilly. Our high temp struggled to reach 70°F in the afternoon. We received a total of 1.39″ of rain, which finally ended around noon. The tornado occurred in southern Michigan, near Three Rivers, and was estimated to be an EF0. That was a bit unexpected as no severe storms were expected yesterday. Today begins an extended period of dry weather, and there is no…
Our morning is starting out with moderate to heavy rain, and even a tornado watch in the southern part of the state. There have been no reports of any actual tornadoes so far, and we hope that it stays that way. Heavy rain is in our forecast for today, and there was already 0.27″ in my gauge at 8:30. We have to go shopping today, and we’re just waiting for some of this rain to move on. I think it…
This will be our last very warm day for a while. Highs should reach the upper 80s this afternoon, before thunderstorms develop ahead of a welcome cold front. The chance for rain will remain until Wednesday, and then it should remain dry right into next weekend. Highs will stay in the 70s, and I’m really liking that. The long term forecast called for our July to be hot and dry. The hot happened but not the dry. Our 9:45 AM…
We have the home stretch of our hot temps today and tomorrow. Highs next week are expected to only reach into the 70s. I’m ready for it. With all the rain that we’ve had lately, the mosquitoes are getting bad. Between those and the hot temperatures, being outdoors isn’t pleasant. I think I’m ready for fall. It’s my favorite season anyway. Our 10:15 AM temperature is 76F, the humidity is 79%, and skies are clear. Winds are from the north…
