Last night brought some strong, noisy thunderstorms which I slept through, that left 0.34″ in my gauge. I see that many places got much more than that, and even some severe storms in the southwest corner of the state. We could see more tonight. Right now, it is very warm and humid, with highs expected to reach the upper 80s, and they are well on there way now. We do have a chance for rain today, but the chances increase…
It really feels like the dog days of summer. It is very hot and muggy . . . . just a good day to stay indoors unless you have a pool. All the storms which were suppose to arrive last night totally missed us, but the worst ones are expected tonight. I hope we don’t get anything severe right at bedtime. Our 1:15 PM temperature is 84°F, the humidity is 67%, and the dew point is also 67°F. It’s very…
Today will be a winner, but strong storms could be our fate for tomorrow. So far we aren’t included in the projected severe area, but that could change. We’ll have to see how that develops. Our 11:45 AM temperature is 83°F, the humidity is 68%, and winds are from the S at 1-5 mph. Skies are partly cloudy, and the pressure is 29.98 in and steady. The dew point is 67°F and visibility is 11 miles. Yesterday’s high was 84°F,…
Our morning has had a mix of clouds and sun, and it has now become mostly sunny. Highs should reach the low 80s and there is the possibility that we could see some rain. Other than that, there isn’t much more that can be said. Our 12:15 PM temperature is 79°F (26°C), the humidity is 66%, and skies are partly cloudy. Winds are from the WNW at 2-6 mph. The pressure is 29.97 in (1014.9 mb) and steady, and the…
After rain all day Wednesday and 2.44″ inches of rain, today is sunny and very pleasant. I’m already hearing that we have the possibility is seeing severe weather this weekend, but only very slight. That seems to be when we get it. So enjoy today while it lasts. Our 5:15 PM temperature is 79°F (26°C), the humidity is 63%, and skies are partly cloudy. Winds are from the ESE at 2-5 mph, and the pressure is 29.92 in (1913.2 mb)…
Post Tropical Storm Beryl left her calling card last night and early today. The rain has finally stopped and radar is showing most of it past us. There was 2.52″ in my rain gauge at 8:30 this morning, and we received another 0.43″ since then. Temperatures have cooled off remarkably and it feels good. It won’t last, however, with highs back into the upper 80s again next week. We are under a flood watch until 8 PM tonight, but we…
My knees are hurting, so Beryl must be on the way. I’m surprised that the barometer isn’t lower than it is. Winds aren’t supposed to be an issue, but we are expecting large amounts of rain. A flood watch is in effect. As for today, we can expect showers and thunderstorms with rain developing tonight. Temperatures will still be very warm, but cooler than yesterday. Right now we have hazy sun and a thin cloud cover. It’s actually quite nice….
The Gulf coast of Texas is bracing for what could be a significant hurricane. Storm surge is expected to be massive, as well as a widespread tornadic event. As for us, we could see the effects on Wednesday, with thunderstorms and heavy rain amounts which could cause flooding. At this time, it appears that Beryl will be moving right over us, and of course, this could change. A more accurate prediction will be available tomorrow. Our 10:15 AM temperature is…
Today couldn’t be nicer. Temperatures are warm, but not too hot. There is a light breeze and it isn’t too humid. Unfortunately, we have hurricane Beryl to look forward to. Of course it won’t be as bad as what Texas is expecting, but we could see a very large rain event from it. Local meteorologists are predicting 2-3 inches in parts of the state. This is expected on Wednesday and into Thursday and it won’t be pleasant for anyone on…
Mid Michigan was pounded by severe storms yesterday afternoon. There was even on unconfirmed tornado, somewhere in the thumb area. Other than that, there was wind damage reported in Clare county. All we got was a few claps of thunder and some sprinkles. Today is cloudy and cooler temperatures. I think we may be able to leave the AC off for a change. Rain remains in our forecast for later this afternoon. Our 11 AM temperature is 69°F (21°C), the…
