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…
Our holiday was quite nice. We did have a few sprinkles but not enough to measure. Skies were cloudy most of the day so highs never reached the expected high temperature. This morning is sunny and skies are mostly clear, but thunderstorms are expected this afternoon. Our 9:30 AM temperature is 73°F, the humidity is 80%, and winds are from the NW at 1-3 mph. The pressure is 29.84 in and steady. Skies are mostly clear and visibility is 10…
Our holiday is starting out with cloudy skies and very warm temperatures. The sun looks like it is trying to push it’s way through the clouds, but not doing a very good job. We do have a slight chance for rain later, but all the rain is to our south at this time. We could see highs reaching close to 90 degrees this afternoon, and that should make some people happy. Our 12 noon temperature is 81°F (22°C), the humidity…
Today, we can expect a mix of sun and clouds with possible rain thrown in the mix. It will also be very warm for those on vacation this week. That is pretty much the forecast for most of the week, although 4th of July seems to be the pick day. June has been a wet one for us, and July has been forecasted to be hot and dry. That remains to be seen. I’m surprised that the mosquitoes aren’t worse…
Today began with sun, but now clouds have taken over. We could get a little rain, but most is expected to fall apart before reaching us. We really don’t need any more for awhile. Temperatures should remain in the 70s which will be comfortable. This will be a nice week for 4th of July, but there shouldn’t be much, in the way of rain, to dampen the Holiday for most. Our 2:30 PM temperature is 75°F, the humidity is 66%,…
Today is beginning with cool temperatures, clear skies, and a nice breeze. This is my kind of summer weather. The AC should get a rest today with highs only expected to reach the mid 70s and there is no rain in the forecast until tomorrow night and Saturday. Of course, rain is expected the weekend that we’ll be up north. With a large area of severe weather expected in the country, the storm chasers will be busy today. I just…
The morning began with dense fog and now we have light rain. Radar is showing it to be almost past us, but I don’t think that we will see much, if any, sun today. Temperatures are comfortable and winds are light, so it’s an acceptable day in my book. We are heading up north for the weekend, so I won’t be doing a blog for a few day this weekend. I hope that the weather is decent for us. Our…
The major storms which were predicted yesterday reached us about 7:30 this morning. We got a lot of rain from it but not much of anything near severe. Many areas are without power and have quite a bit of wind damage. We were lucky once again. The weather service is telling us that next month will be a hot one for us. That will make me appreciate autumn even more. As for now, I just wish the rain would stop…
Although no storms are expected today, the bad ones supposed to come in overnight and early tomorrow morning. Right now, our weather is nice with cooler temperatures and plenty of sun. We did receive a little rain yesterday but hardly enough to mention. We need a week with no rain at all. Our 3:45 PM temperature is 81°F, the humidity is 55%, and skies are partly cloudy. Winds are from the SW at 3-7 mph, and the dew point is…
After a stormy Saturday, our Sunday is much cooler but windy. We had no strong storms here, but the western and central portions of the lower peninsula had a few warnings. I haven’t heard any damage reports yet, but I’m sure there are some. We had a little thunder shower around 1 AM which left 0.34″ in my rain gauge. Now our sky is mostly clear and there is no more rain in our forecast until Tuesday. Our 10:30 AM…
