Today began with cloudy skies and now the rain has moved in. Temps are expected to reach the mid 80s this afternoon and they have a ways to go if that’s going to happen. Temperatures should remain very warm for the remainder of this week and that will seem good. I’m not ready for fall weather yet. Our noon temperature is 69°F (21°C), the humidity is 81% and we have overcast skies and moderate rain. Winds are from the SW…
This morning is dark and dreary with a few stray raindrops adding to the mix. The forecast is calling for a little sun this afternoon and I hope that it happens. The days are becoming noticeably shorter and it is totally dark now by 8:30 PM. These past few days have been chilly but our forecast is calling for hot temps for the end of the week. Maybe that will be summer’s last hurrah but I hope not. I’m just…
Today will only see high temps in the upper 60s, but with the sun, it shouldn’t be too bad of a day. Fall is really in the air and we can see a few trees beginning to show a little color There is no rain in the forecast until the end of this week , and with that the 80s will return once again. Summer isn’t quite over yet and that’s fine with me. What summer we did have went…
Yesterday was damp and cool with our high not even reaching 70°. We had a rain shower, which left 0.23″ in my rain gauge, around noon. The remainder of the day was cloudy with very few peeks of the sun. I don’t think today is going to be much better although there is no rain in the forecast and temperatures should be a little warmer. We are beginning to see some color in the trees and bushes and I’m hoping…
Our day started out with clouds, and rain was showing on radar, but I thought that it would stay to our north. My son had a procedure done at the hospital this morning, and when we were ready to leave, it was pouring. We had some shopping to do after, and when we came out of the store, the rain had stopped and there didn’t seem to be anymore heading our way on radar. Right now, the clouds remain and…
The storms that were predicted on Tuesday never happened, at least not in my area. I haven’t heard of any damage reports so I think that the severity was a false alarm. That happens a lot in weather predicting here in Michigan. That’s not to say that some didn’t get some pretty good thunderstorms, but very few, if any, reached severe level. The cold front has now moved through and our highs today will barely reach “warm”. At first they…
With Hurricane Dorian dominating the headlines, Michigan could have it’s own drama unfolding if today’s forecast is accurate. We have the possibility of strong to severe storms moving in late this afternoon. My county has already had two tornadoes this year and I certainly hope that it doesn’t happen again today. I feel so bad for the people in the Bahamas with what they’re going through. It’s a nightmare to be sure. I pray for their safety and that this…
This morning is a bit cool and clouds have moved in over the past few hours. We don’t have much planned for today. My kids are all here and we had our last home campfire of the year last night. It doesn’t really seem like we had much summer this year . . . . .only July and half of August. Now it really feels like fall. I keep hoping that we will have an extended autumn but extended forecasts…
There was only supposed to be a slight chance of rain for today but that has already changed. Now it looks like there will be a good change for rain almost all day. Hurricane Dorian has become a category 5 storm although it looks like Florida will be spared at this time. Not so for the Carolina’s as they are now bracing for impact. The Bahamas are getting the full force of Dorian at this time and I’m afraid that…
The New Lothrop tornado was first evaluated as an EF0. I think that it will be more like an EF2 after all assessments are done. There is every bit as much damage as what was done by the March 20th tornado that struck my area. This just shows that anytime a severe TS waning is issued, one must be prepared for tornadoes as well. This tornado formed so quickly that there was no time to issue any warnings,. Thankfully there…
