It is cool and breezy this morning.  Yesterday brought popcorn showers and thunderstorms to the state and we got one which only lasted about 5 minutes, but it was a very hard rain.  There was 0.05″ in my gauge t […]

Our morning is bright, cool, and pleasant.  I slept with the windows wide open last night and it felt so good.  I’m thankful for my AC on hot nights, but there is nothing like a nice, cool breeze and fresh air f […]

Yesterday brought a rain event like we haven’t seen in a very long time.  We received a total of 2.05″.  The rain began about 7 PM and continued through the overnight with thunder.  We were lucky since many ar […]

A long line of thunderstorms are training over an area from Chicago to north of Toronto, Ontario.  We received an inch of rain in about 20 minutes a few hours ago, and light rain has continued since then.  R […]

We received a stray shower early this morning although it didn’t amount to much.  There was only 0.03″ in my gauge  at 8 AM, then another 0.02″ after that.   The radar looked like we should get a lot more, but […]

Yesterday, we thought for sure that we would get some much needed rain.  There was a large area of yellow/red cells on the radar from the early afternoon.  It moved very slowly toward us and didn’t near our a […]

This morning has been a mix of clouds and sun.  It looked like we were in for a good storm, but it managed to slide just to our south and east.  The threat of storms remain in our forecast and we could a […]

Although our morning is sunny, there is a line of thunderstorms approaching from the northwest.  I’m not sure if they will hold together considering that our humidity is quite low, but they have continued […]

We can expect our temps today to be unseasonably warm with our high near 90°F.  Last night was very warm with the low never falling much below 70°F.  Skies were clear all day and the humidity was quite low, so […]

Yesterday was a gorgeous day with clear skies, light breezes, low humidity, and temps in the 70s.  In fact, it was perfect in my book.  I got a lot done, getting screens on the rest of my windows, and the rest o […]

It will finally start to feel like summer today, after below normal temps over the last few days.  Highs near 90° are expected early next week and many will welcome it.  As for me, that’s a bit too warm for my […]

This  blog is getting done a bit late today because I was at work this morning.  Our temps are a bit cool for this time of year but I’m seeing some very hot weather in our extended forecast.   It seems to alw […]

This morning is very mild after a line of showers and thunderstorms moved over the state overnight from the northwest.  They didn’t reach us until 6:30 this morning, and all that that remained were some light […]

Today is beginning with mostly clear skies, cool temperatures, and there is a slight chance of rain later in the day.  I love the month of June.  Everything seems so green and fresh,  Nature hasn’t been af […]

Today is the first day of summer, meteorlogically speaking, and it looks like it will be a good one.  There is no rain expected and decreased winds from what we have been having.  It’ll be a good day for f […]

Hello to everyone from Weatherbug Backyard.  It will seem great to hear from all of you again.  This is my first post on Weatherquack, and am still trying to figure it out.  I haven’t found how to add pictures, bu […]
