We are expecting highs today in the low 90s with the possibility of a thunderstorm developing. We sure could use the rain and it would also help with the heat. I’m not fond of weather this hot, so I’m happy that it isn’t supposed to last long. Temps should be closer to normal after today. Yesterday was pleasant but too warm to spend much of it outdoors. The next few days will be better. Our 1PM temperature is 90°F (32°C),…
Happy Independence Day to everyone! I hope that everyone is enjoying great weather and having a wonderful time with friends and family. As for me, I have a case of bronchitis which has been hanging on now for a week. It seems to be getting better but not fast enough. Highs today will reach into the low 90s so maybe I should go out and sit in the heat for awhile. Today we have plenty of sun and our air…
After some welcomed rain on Sunday, our Monday is shaping up to be quite nice. It is a typical July day in Michigan with very warm temps and high humidity. We received half an inch of rain yesterday and there is a slight chance for some today, but I think it’s over. The radar isn’t showing anything developing and heading our way. After a cloudy morning, the sun is now appearing and the skies are clearing. Our 1:30 PM temperature…
Although the sky looks threatening, and we have had a few sprinkles, we have had no rain worth mentioning. There was only 0.05″ in my rain gauge this morning. Storms keep popping up on our radar but they always seem to miss us. Our 1:15 PM temperature is 77°F (25°C), the humidity is 78% and skies are overcast. Winds are from the E at 1-3 mph, and the dew point is 66°F (19°C). The pressure is 29.83 in (1010.2 mb)…
Our day started out with cloudy skies, and very warm and humid. It is quite breezy and it feels like thunderstorm weather. So far, there are some popping up on radar but not in my area. I’m hoping that one or two come our way. Our 1:45 PM temperature is 82°F (28°C), our humidity is 63%, and winds are from the SSW at 4-7 mph. Skies are cloudy and the pressure is 29.92 in (1013.2 mb) and steady. The dew…
It looks like a lovely day out there, but we can still see a lot of smoke in the air and we are being warned to not go outdoors without a good mask. The Air Quality Index is still at an unhealthy level and it is suppose to improve this weekend. We had a thunderstorm just miss us last night, as it moved to our north. We did get a few sprinkles from it but not enough to matter. The…
We had a little thundershower early this morning which dropped 0.19″ in my gauge. The smoke seems even worse today than yesterday, but we’re suppose to be rid of it by the weekend. This is certainly a crappy way to spend the summer. We wait a long time for nice weather, then we get this. What’s even worse is that I have what appears to be a bad cold. I usually don’t get colds, and I’m wondering if it isn’t…
Our air continues to be ripe with smoke and I’m feeling it. My throat is scratchy and I’m coughing. I thought I was getting a cold but I don’t think so. The air quality is supposed to improve as the day goes on, but for today, we’re stuck indoors. The AQA ends tonight at midnight. This is such a waste of a summer day, when it’s dangerous to be outdoors. My husband went to the store yesterday afternoon and said…
We received 0.69″ of rain yesterday. It came in intermittent showers which occurred most of the day. Most were light to moderate, but we did have some that were quite heavy. Regardless, we are happy for what we got. We could still see some today but not like yesterday. Our morning is damp and cloudy and a bit breezy. We are once again plagued with smoke-filled air from the Canadian wildfires. I’m seeing that they are getting some rain up…
Thunderstorms moved into our area around 6PM last night leaving 0.29″ in my rain gauge. We were under a severe thunderstorm warning which was issued after most of the storm had passed. Way to go, NOAA! No matter, we didn’t get anything severe, just a nice storm with plenty of thunder and lightning. The Detroit area and others in southern Michigan got it much worse, and they are reporting power outages and trees down in various places. Radar is showing…
