The severe weather that was to happen yesterday never did. In fact, we got no rain at all here. Most of it remained in northern Michigan and the U.P. I haven’t heard reports of any damage although some were pretty strong. Today is much cooler with lower dew points and I don’t think that we will need the AC. Right now (10:30 AM), our temp is 76°F (24°C), the humidity is 61% and winds are from the NW at 8…
The weather service is warning that we could see severe storms later today and tonight, but this morning is clear and very pleasant. We have a grey haze to our sky caused from the wildfires in Canada. After a couple of cooler, dryer days, we will be back in the heat again with more humidity. That is expected to result in some heavy, if not severe, thunderstorms this afternoon and tonight. I hope that they don’t cause too much damage…
Although we received a few day reprieve from the stifling heat and humidity, unfortunately, it won’t last long. I guess we have to accept that it is July and this is normal. The weather service is saying that we could get severe weather tomorrow night, and we certainly don’t need any of that either. At least the sun is out and there is no rain in our forecast for today and that’s a good thing. Our 9:15 AM temperature is…
This weather is such a blessing after the heat of the preceding week. Yesterday was gorgeous and we were able to turn off the AC at night for a change. Today should be nice also with cooler, dryer air and we can have our windows open for a change. I love it! Our 9 AM temp is 60°F (16°C), the humidity is 76% and skies are clear except for a grayish hue from the wildfires to our north in Canada. …
Our weather today couldn’t be nicer. Humidity and dew points are lower, and temperatures are comfortable with a nice breeze and clear skies. My son was here for the weekend and we spent most of today siting outdoors until he had to go home. I have the AC on but I’m sure that we’ll be able to turn in off this evening. The fresh air will be wonderful tonight. Our 2:45 PM temperature is 79°F (26°C), the humidity is 40%,…
The heat has been stifling along with the humidity and high dew points. I’m ready for a cool down. It seems that we always go from one extreme to the other. We had a quick shower early yesterday which left 0.12″ in my gauge but it didn’t cool it done any. At least we aren’t dealing with an earthquake like California is. I have family in LA right now and but they said that they felt it by aren’t reporting…
NOAA has issued a special weather statement that we may expect heavy thunderstorms this afternoon and evening. There were a few in the state yesterday but we received one heavy shower early in the afternoon. It dropped 0.37″, just enough to get everything wet. It didn’t do anything to dampen our Holiday cookout. It was very hot yesterday and the dew point and humidity were very high all day making it uncomfortable to be outdoors even for a few minutes. …
Today will be perfect for anyone planning on spending it in the water. Highs will reach the upper 80s to 90°F, and there may be a few pop-up thunderstorms, so they’ll have to watch for those. But the day should remain mostly dry and sunny. Right now (9 AM), our temperature is 70°F (21°C), the humidity is 70%, and skies are overcast. The dew point is 60°F (16°C). Winds are from the ENE but calm at present. The pressure is…
Yesterday saw a mix of sun and clouds with some thunderstorms thrown in the mix. We received 0.29″ of rain in all, and none were severe. Between the storms was some sun and it was hot and muggy. Today won’t be quite as warm but there is still a chance for more rain. Our 9:15 AM temperature is 71°F (25°C), the humidity is 96%, and skies are overcast. The dew point is 70°F (21°C). The pressure is 29.9 in (1012.5…
Yesterday was quite uncomfortable even though the temps were a little cooler. Today will see higher temperatures and possible storms. We did get a brief shower around 9:30 this morning but it only dropped 0.03″ in my gauge. There were heavier storms to our north and there are some pretty dramatic pictures of shelf clouds taken in various areas. The picture that I’m using for my feature image was taken this morning near Birch Run. I didn’t see one here…
