The Heat Is On . . . .

The Heat Is On . . . .

We are under a heat advisory with heat indexes reaching triple digits.   Yesterday felt like walking into a furnace and today, and the next few days, won’t be much better.  They are saying that we could break some records today and tomorrow, and that wouldn’t surprise me.  This is a good day to spend it at a lake somewhere, with plenty of sun block. Our 9:15 AM temperature is 83°F, the humidity is 73%, clear skies, and winds are from…

Extreme Heat Watch . . . .

Extreme Heat Watch . . . .

After a very stormy past two days, we should see quite a bit of sun and very warm temperatures in our near future.  Thunderstorms are a possibility but nothing severe is expected.  We had a lot of rain Wednesday and even a tornado in the Detroit area.  Out total rainfall for the past two days was 1.14″.  This  morning is cloudy with a few peeks of the sun.  There isn’t much precip showing on radar at this time. Our  9:15…

Significant Storms Expected Today . . . .

Significant Storms Expected Today . . . .

A round of severe storms is likely later today.  Radar now is showing small cells developing in various parts of the state.  We just had a quick shower and I’m sure there’s a lot more coming.  It is significantly cooler today, and that makes me very happy since our AC went out yesterday.  The repair man can’t come until this afternoon.  So it won’t be too bad. Our 10 AM temperature is 71°F, the humidity is 91%, and skies are…

Summer-Like Weather . . . .

Summer-Like Weather . . . .

Su Today really feels like summer with temps well into the 80s, and clear skies.  We had to go into Lansing this morning and the drive was beautiful.  I plan to spend the remainder of the day outdoor.  We have a stormy system heading our way for Wednesday, and it could be very turbulent.  I hope it remains tranquil for us. Our 3:30 PM temperature is 86°F (30°C), the humidity is 42%, and skies are mostly clear.  Winds are from…

A Nice Summer Day . . . .

A Nice Summer Day . . . .

It’s a beautiful day.  The sun is bright, temperatures are warm, and there is just enough breeze to keep it comfortable.  Yesterday was cloudy most of the day, and we had a few sprinkles early.  There wasn’t even enough rain to register in my rain gauge.  We expect the next rain event on Wednesday, and we are already warned that conditions could be right for severe weather. Our 1 PM temperature is 74°F, the humidity is 50%, and winds are…

Dry But A Bit Cooler . . . .

Dry But A Bit Cooler . . . .

We have cloudy skies this morning and today will be a little cooler than yesterday.  There is a very slight chance for some sprinkles but probably not.  I don’t think that we’ll see much sun today either, so it’s just going to be kind of be a blah day.  So far, it hasn’t felt much like summer but the local weather gurus are promising that it’s coming.  In fact, next week is looking like our high temps will make it…

A Mix Of Sun And Clouds . . .

Our day began with clear skies and plenty of sun.  It has now become more cloudy but the sun manages to make an appearance every so often.  It’s not a bad day.  Temperatures are comfortable and winds are light, so quite pleasant to be outdoors.  We do have a chance for rain, but just a little showing on radar northwest of us.  Our highs are supposed to remain in the 70s this week with no really hot weather expected anytime…

Cloudy And Cool . . . .

Cloudy And Cool . . . .

We were under a severe thunderstorm watch most of yesterday afternoon, and there were various cells of storms which formed, but I don’t think any reached severe criteria.  All we had here was a brief shower that left 0.11″ in my gauge.  A few areas reported small hail, but that was about it.  We do have a slight chance for rain today, and it is quite windy once again. Our 2PM temperature is 71F, the humidity is 53%, and skies…
