The weather service has now confirmed that Michigan had 10 tornadoes Thursday night. That number may rise with more investigation. Prayers go out for the tornado victims in Kentucky and Missouri yesterday. St. Louis was hit hard. We had some severe weather also but nothing like Thursday night. There are still many without power. We were very lucky here where I am. Our 1:45 PM temperature is 55°F, the humidity is 79%, and skies are overcast. We had a few…
After a very stormy nights, we woke to clear skies and bright sunshine this morning. The storms rolled through my area between 11 pm and midnight. They brought heavy rain and strong winds with them. I think my area got off easy and I haven’t heard of any significant damage nearby. There were tornado and severe storm warnings for about 4-5 hours, mostly to our western counties. There were many reports of possible tornadoes but we have to wait for…
We have been warned for the past week that tonight may be challenging for us weather-wise. Conditions will be good for severe storms moving across our state. My area is right on the line between the major threat and the lesser threat, if that means anything. The storms are expected here at around midnight. Our 2 PM temperature is 80°F, the humidity is 56%, and skies are partly cloudy. Winds are from the SE at 4-6 mph, and the pressure…
After a dry Tuesday, I think that we may see some rain today or tonight. Some areas got quite a bit of rain yesterday, but all we got was a slight period of mist. Everything is nice and green and still damp from last week’s rain, and they are still telling us that we could see strong or severe storms late tomorrow. We’ll just have to wait and see on that one. Our 11 AM temperature is 71°F, the humidity…
We had cloudy skies but warm temps first thing this morning. Now there is light rain moving in from the southeast and temperatures are falling. I think we’ve seen our high for the day. Yesterday was beautiful with summer-like temperatures and windows were open all night. We aren’t expecting anymore dry weather until Thursday. They are also warning of possible severe weather late Thursday. Hopefully we’ll be spared. Our 3 PM temperature is 70°F (21°C), the humidity is 83%, and…
It is very warm today, and even the wind coming in my windows feels like the furnace is on. I’m not complaining. It feels really good after the up and down temps that we’ve lately. Unfortunately, we are expecting more storms on Thursday. We have to expect that when it gets this warm this early in the year. We have a mix of sun and clouds right now but there is no precip in the forecast. Our 2:15 pm temperature…
We couldn’t have nicer weather for Mother’s Day. All my kids are home and we sat outdoors yesterday, then a cookout for dinner. Today will be just as nice but a bit cooler. It will still be comfortable. Our 10 AM temperature is 55°F, the humidity is 51%, and skies are clear. Winds are from the NE at 2-6 mph, and the pressure is 30.28 in and rising. The dew point is 37°F and visibility is 10 miles. Yesterday’s high…
Today has temperatures closer to where they should be although we did have frost this morning. Skies are clear and it’s quite a nice day. There is no rain in the forecast and winds are light. Perfect for getting some yard work done. Our 1:15 PM temperature is 59°F (15°C), the humidity is 36%, and winds are from the NE at 2-10 mph. The pressure is 30.13 in (1020.3 mb) and falling. The dew point is 30°F (-1°C) and visibility…
Yesterday was perfect with plenty of sun and clear skies most of the day. Then in the early evening, a thunderstorm developed just to our west, and we received another 0.18″ of rain from it. It was a bit of a surprise and just happened suddenly. Regardless, I think we have enough rain for a while. Today, we have mostly clear skies with a few scattered clouds, but temperatures are much cooler. Still not a bad day. Our 11:30 AM…
After 3 days of wet, cool weather, we have sun and warm temperatures today. Our total rainfall since Sunday is 1.33 inches. That’s a good watering for the newly planted fields in our area. I’m hearing that parts of our state are having drought conditions, so I hope that they benefited from some of this rain. Our 2 PM temperature is 73°F (23°C), the humidity is 47%, and skies are mostly clear. Winds are from the west at 4-9 mph,…
