Friday, August 17, 2018 South West Michigan – Abnormal Dry Conditions Continue
Currently 70 with a NNE wind of 1 mph. Feels like 70 degrees. Dew Point 70, Humidity 100%, Barometer 29.93 & rising, Visibility 6 mi, Sunrise 6:49 am, Sunset 8:41pm. Partly to mostly cloudy with a 40% chance of thunderstorms. High 84. NE winds 5 – 10 mph.
Same thing for tonight with a low of 64. NNE winds 5 – 10 mph.
All of those chances for a ‘stray’ shower followed suit and wandered far enough away from my area of the state that dry continues to be the word here. There are places in Michigan getting an occasional rain, but certainly not here in SW Michigan. Abnormal Dry seems to be verging on serious Drought and it isn’t good. And today is so humid you could almost wring the moisture out of the air – but it’s not helping our dry vegetation. Not one bit. We simply need rain!
