We are starting our day with a tornado watch and very mild temperatures. At this time, most of the storms are moving well to our west, but I know that we’ll get our share later. We already had one loud clap of thunder and a downpour which just lasted a about a minute. I spent all day yesterday in Detroit. My son had to have emergency surgery but he’s doing find. I’m glad that I don’t have to go anywhere…
There is another round of severe and tornadic weather expected for mid week. My area is in the marginal risk area, but it seems like these storms keep hitting the same areas. So far, we’ve been lucky, but I keep wondering how long our luck will hold. Today is beginning with very chilly temperatures but plenty of sun. There is frost this morning but temperatures are expected to rise into the upper 40s by afternoon. Winds won’t be too strong…
Yesterday was an unbelievable day of severe storms and tornadoes throughout the mid-section of the US. It began fairly early in the afternoon, and continued throughout the night. We had just a nice summer-type thunderstorm around 9 PM, which dumped a little over and inch of rain on us. Earlier, we had a little over quarter of an inch, so I think we have enough rain for awhile. I watched the happenings on different YouTube weather channels and was a…
We woke to moderate rain this morning and it has continued since then. There was 0.29″ in my rain gauge at 8:30. Temperatures will be quite warm today giving us a small chance for severe weather tonight. The greatest chance is for the states to our south with a good chance for tornadic activity in these areas. Hopefully, we don’t see a repeat of last Friday. Our 9:45 AM temperature is 40°F (4°C), the humidity is 93%, and winds are…
Tomorrow is expected to be another stormy day with large areas of the midwest and south expecting more tornadoes and strong severe storms. As for us, we could see showers and maybe a few thunderstorms, but at this time, nothing severe is expected. Strong winds will be on tap for us over the next few days. Warmer weather is on the way, but with that comes stormy weather. There seems to be no end to this “atmospheric river” coming east…
We are having snow showers this morning which are barely covering the ground. I’m sure that it will melt very quickly and we aren’t expecting much accumulation. We have another storm system heading our way for the weekend as usual. Once again, the same southern states will be the bullseye for the worst of it. There is a very slight chance that Michigan could see severe storms, but it appears that most will remain to our south. Winds today will…
We began the day with clear skies, but now it has become mostly cloudy. Winds are light and it feels quite warm. There is no precipitation in our forecast, so outdoor activities today are definitely a go. Our 11:30 AM temp 42°F (6°C), the humidity is 60%, and winds are from the SW at 2-5 mph. The wind chill is 39°F (4°C) and the dew point is 28°F (-2°C). The pressure is 29.92 in (1013.2 mb) and steady. Visibility is…
After a gloomy, blustery weekend, our new week is beginning with sunshine and mild temperatures. I think I’ll bring some outdoor furniture out on the deck today, since the weather looks pretty good over the next several days. It’s nice to sit outdoors even it the temps are a bit chilly. We received quite a bit of rain this past weekend and I’m noticing the grass greening up a little. We need a good thunderstorm to really wake things up,…
Our morning began with clear skies, but now more clouds are rolling in. It turned out to be a pretty nice day with light winds and temperatures in the 50s. There is rain and snow in our forecast for tonight and tomorrow, so guess we just aren’t ahead enough in the calendar yet to be rid of that “S” word. On the positive side, these teaser days will happen more often, and soon we’ll be complaining that it’s too hot. …
My condolences to the people of Mississippi who were victimized last night by devastating tornadoes. I follow a couple of storm chasers on YouTube, and they were busy giving medical aid; transporting people to hospitals and medical facilities following these storms. It was pretty intense. My heart goes out to the victims and those who lost loved ones or pets. These same states seem to get hit every week, but at least most of the storms weren’t as bad as…
