It won’t be as extreme as the 2021 Heat Dome, which brought new all-time records to many locations in the Pacific Northwest, but much of next week is likely to see highs above 100° in the Tri-Cities.

An up […]

This is our third consecutive day of 90 degree weather.  At least the humidity and dew points are quite low.  There have been a few pop-up thunderstorms in parts of the state, but unfortunately, not near us.  Th […]

This is just the start of a long, dry, hot period in our weather.  We do have a chance for some pop-up showers or thunderstorms, but not enough rain, if we even get any, to really do any good.  The rain that we h […]

The Moose Fire started near Salmon, Idaho on July 18, spreading to over 3,000 acres (1,200 ha) by the following morning. During the day on the 18th, smoke from this fire spread to the east and northeast into […]

I’m hearing that we are in for an extended stretch of record-breaking heat which will affect the plain states as well as the northeastern portions of the country.  My first thought is that I hope nothing happens […]

Our day has been dry so far, but radar is showing rain slowly heading our way from the southwest.  We aren’t expecting any great amounts but enough to keep the ground moist.  It’s nice not having to water e […]

Originally, we didn’t have rain in our forecast.  Now that has changed  We see a large area of rain coming at us from Lake Michigan, and although not heavy, it doesn’t seem to be diminishing either.  This has ch […]

Temperatures today are perfect and the humidity is decent.  This has been quite unusual for Michigan in the summer.  Normally by this time, the humidity is very high almost everyday.  This year it has been qu […]

After a mostly cloudy Monday, we did receive a little rain during the overnight.  There was 0.14″ in my gauge this morning, and I’m seeing some showers on the radar.  One just missed us and there are no more f […]

I know that I often complain that all the big storms miss us.  Well, that wasn’t the case last night.  We had two powerful storms move over us late last night about an hour apart.  The first  dropped 0.74″ of rai […]

This afternoon is very warm and quite windy.  We have a pretty good chance for some afternoon or evening thunderstorms to develop and some could be heavy.  We are in the “slight chance” area for any severe w […]

Yesterday’s weather was perfect with highs in the upper 70s and a nice breeze.  Skies were clear all day.  We do need rain and it has been pretty sparse lately.  Any rain in our forecast isn’t expected to be mu […]

Baltimore’s Daily Precipitation record was broken on July 9, 2022 when 1.36” was recorded, superseding the previous record of 0.99” in 1970. Though these amounts are not unusual for July, what is unusual is that […]

A steady line of storms has developed just to our south but they are moving to the ESE, so totally missing my area at this time.  Our forecast called for a very slight chance of rain, but I’m seeing more rain […]

Today began with a few drops of rain but not enough to even measure.  Southern Michigan got hammered with heavy thunderstorms, measuring well over an inch in many places.  A line of heavy, severe storms moved to t […]

After some overnight, much needed rain, our Tuesday is cloudy and very humid.  We received 0.42″ overnight with a little thunder and lightning.  Skies are expected to clear later and highs should make it into t […]

All my kids were home for the weekend and we made a big fire last night in celebration of our country’s birthday.  Someone on the next road was shooting off a fantastic display of fireworks which lasted for about […]

Today is the beginning of the 4th of July weekend and our weather is expected to be great.  They predicted rain for us this afternoon, but right now, it seems doubtful.  We sure could use it.  Yesterday’s high ro […]
