Mostly Clear With A Chance For Thunderstorms Later . . . . .

We had a beautiful Memorial Day with highs in the low 80s, then falling into the 50s at night.  Yesterday was also very nice and a period of sunny, dry weather is expected for the next week.  Maybe summer is here.  We could see a thunderstorm this evening but nothing severe. Our 2:30 PM temperature is 75°F, the humidity is 38%, and skies are mostly clear.  Winds are from the north at 3-5 mph.  The pressure is 29.95 in and…

Happy Memorial Day . . . .

Happy Memorial Day . . . .

After a wet, chilly weekend, today is shaping up to be almost perfect weather wise.  Temps will be very warm with very light winds, and it will be a perfect day to be outdoors doing anything.  We have a period of warm weather ahead and most will say that it’s about time.  Unfortunately many of those who headed up north didn’t have very nice weather until today, when most will be heading home.  We’ve been there and done that. Our…

A Wet Sunday . . . .

A Wet Sunday . . . .

We had drizzle all day Saturday, and today we have rain.  It isn’t a very nice holiday weekend for those going camping or planning outdoor activities.  Also the temps won’t be very warm.  I’m happy just to stay home and watch the INDY 500. Our 2:45 PM temperature is 58°F, the humidity is 94%, and skies are cloudy with light rain.  Winds are from the ESE at 0-4 mph and the pressure is 29.99 and steady.  The dew point is…

Much Cooler Weather . . . .

After record high temperatures, we are now below average once again.  This has been the pattern for most of the past year.  It has been very strange for most of the country and there doesn’t seem to be an end to it.  This morning is beautiful but chilly.  The sun is shining and the sky is perfectly clear, and no rain expected today. Our 10 AM temperature is 52°F, the humidity is 55%, and winds are from the NE at…

Our 2 PM temperature is 82°F, the humidity is 57%, and winds are from the…

Severe Thunderstorm Watch . . . . .

We have a line of storms approaching from the southwest and some could be destructive.  They are saying that the chance for tornadoes is low but high winds and hail can be just as bad.  I’m anticipating that they will arrive in our area around 4 or 5 PM. Our 2:30 PM temperature is 87°F, the humidity is 47%, and skies are mostly cloudy.  Winds are from the SSW at 6-19 mph and the pressure is 30.12 in and falling. …

Unseasonably hot weather . . . .

According to the NOAA weather map, we are in the area for possible severe weather, although locals are saying the chances are very small.  In fact, this threat will exist for the next three days.  Michigan Weather  Chasers are predicting that Tuesday will have the highest threat.  Today began with warm temperatures and clear skies.  Now more clouds have moved in.  We can expect thunderstorms later today. Our 1 PM temperature is 83°F, the humidity is 49%, and winds are …

A Warmup Begins . . . . . .

A Warmup Begins . . . . . .

Today starts a period of very warm weather, and with that comes the possibility of more severe storms.  We could see highs  in the mid to upper 80s early next week, and the humidity is expected to be quite high.  As for today, we should see the low 70s if the sun can ever find it’s way through the clouds.  It’s also quite breezy and that detracts from the air temperatures.   The very warm temps will begin tomorrow and last…

Finally, A Normal Spring Day . . . .

Finally, A Normal Spring Day . . . .

We finally have a day that really feels like spring.  However, there is another round of cold air coming our way the first of next week, and we are already being warned about possible severe weather.  This has really been a habit this year.  NOAA finally came out and said that Michigan is the #1 safest state as far as natural disasters go.  I’ve said that for years. Our 4:15 PM temperature is 66°F, the humidity is 24%, and skies…

Rain On The Way . . . .

Rain On The Way . . . .

We have rain approaching us this afternoon, and a very slight chance that some could be severe.  We had a little sun this morning, but that is now gone.  Unbelievably, it is quite dry and I’m noticing that the farmers are kicking up a lot of dust while they are fitting their fields.  I’m sure that those who have already planted would be happy with some rain. Our 12:30 PM temperature is 54°F, the humidity is 52%, and winds are from…
