Mid Michigan Weather

After a sunny afternoon on Tuesday, clouds moved in by evening, and multiple thundershowers developed.  The first arrived around 6:30 PM, which dropped  0.46″ of rain.  Then another line of storms arrived just before midnight and dumped another quarter of an inch.  Finally, a small cell developed just to our west, and brought another downpour after midnight.  Our total rainfall was  0.74″.  Today has been dreary but no rain.  We are expecting to see a little sun this afternoon sometime….

We had a nice thunder shower early yesterday evening which left 0.21″ in my gauge.  It was one of many rain cells which moved over southern Michigan yesterday, and gave some areas over an inch of rain.  We had just a nice shower with a little thunder .  Today has been sunny but a little muggy.  Temperatures are right where they should be for this time of year, and nothing dramatic is expected any time soon.  It’s been a nice…

We have yet another wonderful day . . . . . about as nice as you can get for July in Michigan.  There is a small chance for a pop-up shower, but I doubt that it will happen.  Yesterday was quite warm, and if there had been more breeze, I could have done without the AC.  The same goes for today.  The sky is mostly clear, but there is a light cloud cover, and I’m wondering if it could be…

Today will be another winner with nice temperatures and low humidity.  We should have enough breeze to keep the house cool with open windows, and no precip is expected anytime soon. Our 1:15 PM temperature is 77°F (25°C), the humidity is 51%, and skies are mostly clear.  Winds are from the SW at 3-7 mph, and the pressure is 30.03 in (1016.9 mb) and steady.  The dew point is 55°F (13°C) and visibility is 11 miles.  Yesterday’s high was 79°F…

Today is a day that I dream of when thinking about summer weather.  The sky is mostly clear, and temperatures are very comfortable in the 70s.  It’s just breezy enough to open the windows and get a nice air flow through the house.  The best part is that this weather is expected to last through the weekend and into early next week.  I’m loving it! Our 1:45 PM temperature is 76°F (24°C), the humidity is 50%, and winds are from…

Today actually feels chilly compared to what we’ve been having.  It’s perfect for doing outdoor work.    It’s a bit breezy but just comfortable.  We are expecting dry weather through the weekend and into early next week.  It’s about time.  We did have a very brief shower, or a hard sprinkle would be more accurate, early yesterday afternoon.  There was only 0.01″ in my gauge from it. Our 2:45 PM temperature is 73°F, the humidity is 54%, and skies are partly…

Our morning has been sunny, but now we have a fast formed little line of showers moving over us.  All we are getting is a few sprinkles, and there is still a lot of blue sky showing.  We only had a 30% chance of seeing any rain today, and by golly!  It happened!  Temps will be much cooler today, and I think that we may just be able to go without the AC. Our 1 PM temperature is 72°F, the…

There were storms last night and even a few tornado warnings.  They were for the SW counties of the state.  I haven’t heard if there were actually any tornadoes, but there was wind damage reported.  My area was once again spared.  Our forecast is calling for more possible storms this afternoon, but so far, all is quiet. Our 1:30 PM temperature is 81°F (27°C), the humidity is 70%, and skies are partly to mostly cloudy.    The Heat Index is 84°F…

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…
