Almost A Perfect Day . . . . .

Almost A Perfect Day . . . . .

Although it’s a little too windy to be perfect, it’s still a lovely day.  At least it isn’t raining and cloudy.  Highs should reach the mid 70s today, so that’s perfect in my book.  I have heard that temperatures next week will be hot, but looking at the forecast for this upcoming week, they don’t seem too extreme. We’ll take it. Our 1 PM temperature is 73°F (23°C), the humidity is 52%, and skies are mostly clear.  Winds are from…

More Rain Expected . . . .

More Rain Expected . . . .

There is a dome of hot air heading our way from the west  The cool spell, that we have right now, will be history next week.  The western US is expecting the worst of it with triple digit temperatures.  I’m hoping that it doesn’t get that hot here.  It’s been a long time since we’ve had that kind of weather and it’s something that we can do without. Our 1:15 PM temperature is 72°F, the humidity is 43%, and skies…

Our 10:45 AM  temperature is 63°F (17°C), the humidity is 67%, and winds are from the W at 4-10 mph, gusting higher at times.  The pressure is 29.73 in (1006.8 mb)…

Yesterday was quite pleasant until the storms moved in.  There were no storm warnings, but were told that some storms could be heavy.  We had an intense downpour around 3 PM which left  0.80″ in my gauge.  Then a little more rain happened  overnight, dropping another 0.10″.  Livonia, a suburb of Detroit, was hit by an EF1 tornado, which resulted in the death of a little boy, and his mother critically injured.  This same system moved east resulting in more…

Storms On The Way . . .

Storms On The Way . . .

We are expecting some pretty significant thunderstorms this afternoon.  There are none showing on radar at this time.  Skies are cloudy with a little  filtered sun shining through.  We will see a moderate decrease in our high temperatures over the next week, on some days not even reaching the 70s.  I’ll take that over the  90s anytime. Our 11:45 AM temp is 77°F (25°C), the humidity is 76%, and winds are from the south at 10-13 mph, gusting higher at…

A Very Summer-Like Day . . . .

A Very Summer-Like Day . . . .

Today will be one of the hottest that we’ve seen this year, maybe even a record breaker.  It will usher in more rain and thunderstorms tonight and tomorrow.  Then much cooler weather will be around for awhile as the 8-14 day temperature map shows.  I love it.  Hot weather and I just don’t get along too well. Our 11:15 AM temperature is 79°F, the humidity is 64%, and skies are lightly cloud covered.  Winds are from the SW at 4-7…

Rain To Start The Day . . . . .

Rain To Start The Day . . . . .

Rain began late yesterday afternoon and continued through the overnight.  There was 0.19″ in my gauge this morning, and we had a fine mist at that time.  Now it is just cloudy and we should see some clearing late in the day.  I don’t think that temps will reach the expected high unless the sun makes a showing. Our 3 PM temperature is only 67°F (19°C), the humidity is 87%, and winds are from the east at 1-5 mph.  The…

First Day Of Meteorological Summer . . . . .

First Day Of Meteorological Summer . . . . .

Summer begins today according to the Weather Service, and I agree.  It will feel very summer-like with highs expected in the upper 70s.  Our day is beginning with a light cloud cover and filtered sun.  There is a chance for rain later on and overnight.  There will be just enough breeze to keep it comfortable, so it should be enjoyable. Our 11 AM temperature is 71°F (22°C), the humidity is 47%, and winds are from the SE at 3-8 mph. …

We had to go to Detroit early this morning, and the weather is lovely.  Skies are almost clear and the temperature is perfect.  Temperatures will remain in the 70s through the weekend, then back to the 80s again next week.  I’m loving it as long as it doesn’t get very humid. Our 3 PM temperature is 74°F (23°C), the humidity is 30%, and winds are from the SW at 5-9 mph.  The pressure is 30.26 in (1024.7 mb) and falling,…

Not A Bad Day . . . .

Not A Bad Day . . . .

After a mostly dreary Tuesday, today is pretty nice.  Temperatures will rise into the upper 60s and it is breezy but not too bad.  It’s perfect for getting some yard work done.  The current forecast isn’t calling for anymore rain until Saturday.  That’s fine.  I think we have enough for now. Our 1:15 PM temperature is 64°F (18°C), the humidity is 70%, and skies are partly cloudy.    Winds are from the north at 3-9 mph, and the pressure is 30.21…
