There were a line of thunderstorms which crossed over the state from the northwest late yesterday leaving 0.62″ of rain in my gauge.  Severe TS warnings were issued well into the storm and by that time we could […]

Thursday was a sunny, dry day, a tad warmer, enough to break a 6 day streak of sub 80 degree max temps (using rounded to the nearest degree values) but gradually less humid and generally pleasant.  High t […]

We should see highs near 80° today, then another cool down.  I received an alert from one of my weather apps that severe weather is possible for my area tonight.  The high school football season is starting to […]

Wednesday was mostly cloudy, a tad warmer and more humid as our pleasant weather changed into a bit of uncomfortable higher dew points that prompted me to put the A/C on again. We had mid-afternoon showers (0.31 […]

Our lows last night fell into the 40s in some areas which is really cool for this date.  Right now, it is only 71°F and I don’t think it will get much warmer as the day goes on.  It’s even too chilly to open th […]

Thursday was not quite as hot as earlier in the week with temps rising into the upper 80s due to more clouds than sun and stormy evening periods in evening, still quite humid into the evening with the storm. We […]

We had an uneventful drive home yesterday after a week of very nice weather up north.  Conditions there are very dry and they really need rain, but we were happy that the week saw very little while we were […]

I can’t believe how quickly this past week has gone.  Our weather has been much nicer than at home.  It was quite stormy in southern Michigan once again with various severe storm warnings issued.  It seems, ho […]
