We had a thunderstorm yesterday afternoon which dropped 0.74″ of rain on us. Overnight, we received another 0.03″, so I think we have enough rain for a while. Today was supposed to be the beginning of our cool-down, but now the high is expected to reach the upper 80s once again. The rest of the week should see highs only in the 70s. That sounds wonderful to me. This has been the hottest summer that we have had in a…
Okay, I think I’m ready for autumn. This 90°F weather is really getting to me. It’s too hot to even go out and sit. Even my outdoor cats don’t want any part of it and would rather hang out in the basement. That’s okay. I keep a fresh bowl of water on the deck for them, or any other creatures that need it. Occasionally I see a raccoon or an opossum out there as well. I also keep the moats…
After two rather stormy, wet days, today is expected to be partly sunny, and we are beginning to see the sun peek out a little now. Wednesday brought some heavy, abundant thunderstorms which dropped an inch and a quarter of rain on my area, while others received over two inches. I think that southern Michigan has enough rain for awhile. Yesterday brought a few more small cells of heavy storms and there were even a few funnel clouds spotted, but…
The Weather Service is promising us some rain today. We could also see some heavy, if not severe, thunderstorms. These are already occurring up north but we’ve yet to see any rain here. In addition to that, many areas are under a heat advisory. The radar is very active right now, showing the formation of many storm cells, with most still staying well to our north. I haven’t watered any of my garden the past few days, so I’m banking…
There isn’t much to say about our weather except that each passing day is much like the last . . . . . warm, breezy and dry. There were quite a few pop-op showers and thunderstorms yesterday, but all we had was one 30 second downpour, which left 0.02″ of rain in my gauge. Other areas east of us had some severe storms, which caused some tree damage. There was even a tornado which moved off into Lake Huron as…
Today was supposed to be quite wet for us, but so far, the rain has remained to our north. Showers and thunderstorms are in the forecast for most of the day so I hope we get a little rain anyway. I feel so bad for the folks in Kentucky. I wish these extreme storms would happen in the west where their reservoirs are drying up. But it never happens where it is needed. Same with the brush fires. One of…
Hot and dry is what we can usually expect this time of year, and that’s exactly what we are getting. It’s been a few years since we have seen weather like this and it seems pretty good. Unfortunately, my family and I are all stuck home with Covid. No one is deathly ill, but just enough to be annoying. I hate being sick. It seems like such a waste of time, but it is what it is. I’m happy that…
I had to go to the ER last night. After feeling crappy all day, I was suddenly so weak that I couldn’t get out of my chair. My husband called the ambulance and I was diagnosed with Covid. So now I’m stuck at home for two weeks, but it could be worse. At least this current strain isn’t as severe as the first ones were, so the ER doctor assured me that I would be alright. Our weather today is…
Temperatures are quite warm today and skies are cloudy. We had a few sprinkles of rain yesterday and there were a few showers which appeared on the radar map, but they were few and far between. We could see that again today but chances are very slight. At least with the cloudy skies, that should keep the temperatures at a comfortable level. Today is my husband’s birthday and we are both a bit under the weather, so I’m hoping that…
After an almost perfect day yesterday, today brings much of the same. Highs should reach near 8oF, but the humidity and dew point is low, so it will be very comfortable. There is no rain expected any time soon and the remainder of this week should be seasonable. But they are already warning us that the 90s will be back next week. I was hoping that we would be done with that for the year. Our 2 PM temperature is…
