Yesterday was a beautiful day but a rogue thunderstorm moved in shortly after 10 PM last night. It was a small cell which came from the NNW dumping 1.19 inches on us along with a lot of lightning. We were under a severe thunderstorm warning for about half and hour but there was no strong wind or hail. The lightning was frequent but no strikes close by. The Saginaw and Midland areas reported some damage but the storm mellowed quite…
If we didn’t break a record yesterday, then we came very close. The official high was in the upper 80s but my thermometer, and the one in our car said 90°F. There were some showers and thundershowers that made their way across the state last night, but they totally missed my area which is fine. Our lawn is still saturated from the last round of rain that we had earlier this week. We continue to have a chance of rain …
After a very warm Thursday, today is expected to be even warmer with highs in the upper 80s. The past two days have been wonderful with clear skies and low humidity. A change will be coming with thunderstorms in the forecast for the weekend, however it won’t be a total washout and temperatures will remain very warm. Our 8:45 AM temp is 70°F (21°C), the humidity is 53%, and skies are clear. Winds are from the southwest at 3 mph…
This morning is just lovely! I can’t say anything more than that. This weather will persist over the next several days but more rain is expected for our holiday weekend. At least it doesn’t sound like it will be a total washout and temperatures will be very warm. I’m happy with that. Our 10:30 AM temp is 66°F (19°C), the humidity is 64%, and skies are clear. The rising pressure is 30.20 in (1022.4 mb) and winds are from the…
This has been a very wet month so far, and temperatures seem to have a very hard time warming up. Although the upper 60s are considered to be normal for mid to late May, it seems to me that it is usually much warmer by this time of year. At any rate, the next few days are expected to be nice. Unfortunately, there is more rain in the forecast for the holiday weekend. I haven’t been doing very well with…
It will not be a very nice day for outdoor activities although I guess it could be worse. Highs will only make it into the low 60s and there will not be much sun. Yesterday brought us a little rain but there was only 0.06″ in my gauge this morning. Most was intermittent sprinkles and mist, just enough to make it miserable. I’m wishing that it would warm up and stays that way. Our 10:30 AM temp is 58°F (15°C),…
It is wet and dreary this morning but everything looks so green. It is quite a contrast from a few weeks ago. Today will see off-and-on rain showers with a few thundershowers thrown in for good measure. We received 0.31 in overnight and light rain continues at this time. Our 8:30 AM temperature is 58°F (15°C), the humidity is 93% and skies are cloudy with light rain. Winds are from the SE at 5 mph and the pressure is 29.90…
Yesterday was a perfect temperature with winds from the north all day. Today will be about the same, but with the brisk north winds, it will feel a bit chilly. There is more rain in our forecast for the weekend but it shouldn’t be a total washout. The ground is quite saturated from the rain earlier this week so I’m hoping that we don’t get too much. Our 9 AM temp is 55°F (13°C), the humidity is 52% and winds…
After a very warm Tuesday and Wednesday, today will have temps closer to normal. We had highs of 80° the past two days but with the low humidity, it was quite comfortable. Winds will swing back to the north today bringing cooler temperatures but still in the low 70s. This weather is glorious and we have waited a long time for it. Our 10 AM temperature is 68°F (20°C), the humidity is 61% and skies are clear. Winds are from…
There was quite a display of lightning late last night as storms approached our area. The rain began around midnight and continued most of the overnight. There was 0.55 inches in my gauge at 8:30 AM and it is still sprinkling a bit. This morning is very warm and humid. Hopefully, we’ll see a little sun this afternoon. Our 8:45 AM temp is 61.5°F (17°C), the humidity is 93% and skies are overcast with sprinkles. Winds are from the north…
