Sunday, June 10, 2018 South West Michigan – Chilly Rainy Day

Sunday, June 10, 2018 South West Michigan – Chilly Rainy Day

Currently 62 with an E wind of 11 mph dropping that a degree to feeling like 61. Dew Point 58, Humidity 86%, Barometer 29.94 & falling, Visibility 10 mi, Sunrise 6:02 am, Sunset 9:21 pm. Cloudy with a 60% chance of rain. High near 70. E wind 10 – 20 mph.

50% chance of overnight rain, low around 58. E wind 10 -20 mph.

It does NOT feel like June today. It’s sweater weather. I like a good rain, but this is a misty, chilly mess and it’s not a comfortable feeling day. Things are looking to improve as the week goes along, but today is not included in that batch of pleasant weather. In fact, plenty of sun and a few days back up into the 80s are coming our way. Too bad today missed it by just this much. Darn!

Saturday, June 9, 2018 South West Michigan – A Rainy Day

Saturday, June 9, 2018 South West Michigan – A Rainy Day

Currently 60 with an average E wind of 11 mph making no difference so it feels like 60 degrees. Dew Point 58, Humidity 95%, Barometer 30.11 & rising, Visibility 4 mi, Sunrise 6:02 am, Sunset 9:20 pm. 100% chance of rain today. High 71. E winds 10 – 15 mph.

Yup, we have us a rainy Saturday. Expecting nothing severe, no excess rain, nothing to be alarmed about in my area. Just some rain from a big system moving through the middle of America. Hoping it will be gone by tomorrow. We’ll see how that goes.

Friday, June 8, 2018 South West Michigan – Some Clouds, Maybe Rain Moving In

Friday, June 8, 2018 South West Michigan – Some Clouds, Maybe Rain Moving In

Currently 69 with an average E wind of 10 mph making no difference and leaving it to feel like 69 degrees. Dew Point 56, Humidity 62%, Barometer 30.17, Visibility 10 mi, Sunrise 6:02 am, Sunset 9:20 pm. Partly cloudy today with a high near 80. E winds 10 – 15 mph.

Partly cloudy becoming cloudy with a 40% chance of overnight rain. Low 60. E winds 5 – 10 mph.

Feeling a little close today like the humidity might be a bit higher than the 62% reported. It feels like rain coming in. We shall see if the little system moving through tonight and tomorrow is willing to share some precipitation with us. I think we could use it. And even though we seem to be in a slightly cooler patch, I do see the possibility of a couple of 80 degree days coming our way about the beginning of the week. I’m hoping so.

A much better day today as the warmth is returning. Feels good. Looks good. Some rain moving in over the next few days, but hopefully not much of a drop in temperature, so a warm rain? Absolutely welcome.

Found this Hummingbird Moth doing his thing, propagating my lilac bush yesterday. First one I’ve ever seen in person, only seen them in pictures before. Had no idea they were as big as they are. Fascinating little creature out enjoying summer activities.

It’s chilly this morning but hopefully it will warm up this afternoon. And it would truly be nice if it would stay warmed up.  Looks to be a chance of rain Friday and Saturday and I don’t really see much in the line of 80 degrees coming my way, but fingers crossed. It’s summer and I want summer to be warm. Very warm.

Tuesday, June 5, 2018 South West Michigan – Cool Weather Is Back

Currently 54 with a NNW wind of 9mph making it feel more like 51 degrees. Dew Point 48, Humidity 81%, Barometer 29.85, Visibility 10 mi, Sunrise 6:03 am, Sunset 9:18 pm. Partly cloudy today with a high of 69. NNW winds 10-15mph.

It’s chilly this morning again and will be quite cool tonight. Now I don’t see any 80 degrees until sometime next week. Should work back into the 70s this week but looks like that will bring us some rain about Friday and Saturday. 70s are comfortable, so if it can get there, that will be fine. but 60s? 40s? I don’t think so!

Partly cloudy becoming mostly cloudy with a 40% chance of overnight rain. Low 51. WNW winds 10 -20mph.

It really is a bit chilly this morning and my understanding is that tomorrow will be even more so. Tiresome. It’s June. We want warmth and sunshine. We’ve put in our orders but alas…nobody is paying attention. Nothing to do but haul out the long sleeve shirts and get on with things. At least for a few days.

Cloudy to partly cloudy tonight. Low 51. WNW winds 10 -20mph.

We did get .64″ of rain overnight and as cool as it was this morning it was difficult to make myself haul out of bed. Seemed like a dandy day to sleep in. Couldn’t. Had people to meet, places to go…but the thought to stay snugged in and snooze was definitely there. Should be a fine week ahead – not too hot, sunny. No rain in view, at least for the moment, until about next Saturday. Looking forward to it.

Saturday, June 2, 2018 South West Michigan – 1st Weekend In June To Be On The Cool Side

Currently 56 with an average wind from the ENE of 12 mph dropping that down to feeling like 52 degrees. Dew Point 49, Humidity 81%, Barometer 30.03, Visibility 10 mi, Sunrise 6:04 am, Sunset 9:16 pm.

It’s chilly this morning and it will be more so tomorrow with some rain tossed in. By next weekend we appear to be back into the low 80s, but it’s going to take all week to work up to that mark. Should be warmer for the coming weekdays than this weekend. Just a rather crummy 1st weekend of June to contend with. Could be worse.

Friday, June 1, 2018 South West Michigan – Staring The Month Partly Cloudy, Cool

Currently 75 with a N wind of 8 mph doing no damage so it feels like 75 degrees. Dew Point 66, Humidity 75%, Barometer 29.85, Visibility 10 mi, Sunrise 6:05 am, Sunset 9:15 pm. Partly cloudy with a high of 78. N winds 10 – 15mph.

Partly cloudy tonight, low 53. ENE winds 10- 15 mph.

A rather benign beginning for the month of June. That’s okay. Should be a comfortable day to be out tending to some of the tasks ignored with it was so blazing hot lately. A chance of rain on Sunday, which is a big of a bummer, but things can change in a few days, so who knows by then? In the meantime, cooler weather is upon us and that’s fine.
