Saturday, July 22 2017 Southwest Michigan – Once Again Rain Eluded My Area

Currently 74 degrees with an E wind of 7 mph not engaged, so it feels just like the 74 that it is. Dew Point 69, Humidity 93%, Barometer 29.76 & falling, Visibility 9 mi. Cloudy today with the possibility of a stray thunderstorm. High 82. ENE 5 – 10 mph.

Partly cloudy tonight, low 67. E winds 5 – 10 mph.

So…yesterday, once again, there was an enormous mass of multi-colored moisture on the radar that almost totally managed to miss us. Seriously. How does this keep happening?  I measured .01″ of rain in the gauge this morning. Crazy. Looking at that map last night, there appeared to be no way on earth we wouldn’t be included in some of that. I guess there was a way, ’cause we were not to be a part of it. Now what I really, truly want to see is this pattern to continue on through the coming winter. I’d love to be able to say, each and every morning, well…..again all that big blob of wintry precipitation completely missed us. Yeah…we’ll see how it goes. In the meantime, plenty of rain falling to the south of us, but here? Not so much.

  1. It’s amazing how quickly these storms can fall apart. One minute they’re on the radar, and the next, they are gone. We only had 0.01″ in the gauge at 8:30 too, but it’s been raining steady now for the past 45 mins.
