Murphy's Weather

Currently 68 with an average wind from the ENE of 4 mph. Feels like 68 degrees. Dew Point 57, Barometer 30.14, Humidity 70%, Visibility 10 mi, Sunrise 6:23 am, Sunset 9:16 pm.

A mix of sun and clouds today. High 77. NE winds E 5-10 mph.

Partly cloudy overnight skies. Low 57. Light and variable winds.

Some sun, some clouds, but no rain is currently expected. At least not until about Thursday night. Then it could continue through Saturday. Not a 100% guarantee, about a 50/50 chance. But that’s enough to make finding the umbrella and keeping it handy a good idea. And Sunday, as of right now, is looking wonderful with sunshine galore. We’ll see how it goes, but that’s the story for now.

Currently 66 with an average wind from the SW of 6 mph. Feels like 66 degrees. Dew Point 65, Barometer 30.03, Humidity 90%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:22 am, Sunset 9:17 pm.

Sunny. High 85. WNW winds 10-20 mph.

Partly cloudy tonight with a low of 59 degrees. N 10-15 mph.

Our weather is consistent if nothing else. And that’s okay as nothing drastic is going on. Just comfortable summer temperatures, some clouds, some sun. Weather we can work with no matter what’s going on.

And speaking of what’s going on, this is the morning of the Blue Origin Space Flight and I’m so anxious to see this safely happen. To think there is an 82 year old gal in there is blowing this old lady’s mind. I am thrilled. The weather in Texas looks look for launch as I’m typing, so this is an exciting few minutes – the flight will only last 11 minutes – but they will be astronauts none-the-less. And to see the view of our planet from 60 some miles above is phenomenal. Can’t wait. Praying for safety and joy.

Currently 74 with an average wind from the NW of 6 mph. Feels like 74 degrees. Dew Point 61, Barometer 30.16, Humidity 66%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:21 am, Sunset 9:18 pm.

Plenty of sunshine today. High 86. NW winds 5 -10 mph.

Clear overnight skies. Low 62. WNW winds 5 – 10 mph.

So – most of the rain tucked into our week weather forecast has been either removed or relocated. Now there is a slight chance for some at the end of the week. However, we all know what that means. Nothing, basically. By tomorrow it will have evolved into something different. Or not. Nothing like being positive and that’s something that’s a tad iffy when it comes to the weather. We CAN be positive that basic summer weather will be ours for three or four months, but the day by day content? Ha! And when you take a look at all the air currents, high pressure systems, low pressure systems, etc. that make up what we end up with? It’s crazy and I find it amazing that we can actually successfully predict any of it in any small measure. The big picture? Absolutely. That’s primarily easy. But breaking it down to small views? Not quite as easy as it would seem. Anyway, enjoy the sunshine and tomorrow…after that? Yeah, right….

Currently 79 with an average wind from the S of 1 mph. Feels like 79 degrees. Dew Point 60, Barometer 30.21, Humidity 55%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:20 am, Sunset 9:18 pm.

Plenty of sunshine today. High 86. Light and variable winds.

Clear overnight skies. Low 62. N winds 5 – 10 mph.

Once the thin layer of overcast clouds cleared out, there remains a lovely blue summer sky. Should be about a perfect summer Sunday with a nice week coming our way. Mother Nature has given us a checkerboard pattern for a forecast – sunny, rain, sunny, rain, sunny, rain. Well, that’s the way it’s laid out right now. Who knows as the week progresses? For now it looks nicely tidy and even-handed. Whatever comes along, I’m fairly certain you can count on today being a delight. So go forth and enjoy.

Currently 71 with an average wind from the NNE of 4 mph. Feels like 71 degrees. Dew Point 63, Barometer 30.11, Humidity 78%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:18 am, Sunset 9:18 pm.

Partly sunny until midday then becoming mostly sunny. High in the upper 70s. NE winds 10-15 mph.

Clear overnight skies. Low 60. Light winds.

Well, I don’t know but I don’t really see any sunny anything out there, partly or not. However, there’s supposed to be some clear sky out there – somewhere. I guess evidently not outside my window. Fingers crossed that some will show up. Tomorrow should be a great day with sunshine and comfortable temperature. A nice Sunday for about anything you plan on doing that requires being outdoors. All in all, a good weekend – even if some of the predicted clear sky doesn’t evidently want to put in an appearance right yet. Patience, that’s what Mother Nature requires from us. Good thing I have such a vast amount of it to call on. LOL

Currently 71 with an average wind from the E of 7 mph. Feels like 72 degrees. Dew Point 66, Barometer 30.01, Humidity 89%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:18 am, Sunset 9:20 pm.

Cloudy with a 30% chance of afternoon showers. High 73. E winds 10-15 mph.

Cloudy becoming partly cloudy after midnight. 20% chance of showers. Low 62. NE winds 5 -10 mph.

So…measured .20″ of rain in the gauge. We simply are not getting all the rain other folks are. Not even close. If we don’t get any this afternoon or evening, nothing in sight for the next week. We will, however, be getting some rather warm weather this coming Sunday and Monday. It’s summer after all, so to be expected.  Looking forward to it. But then, I really do like hot summer weather. I like rainy days, too, but since those seem to be on the scarce side for our area, so I’ll just be happy with the sunshine. Might as well be, right?

Currently 73 with an average wind from the SSW of 10 mph. Feels like 73 degrees. Dew point 68, Barometer 29.93, Humidity 83%, Visibility 7 mi., Sunrise 6:16 am, Sunset 9:19 pm.

70% chance of showers and thunderstorms today. High in the upper 70s. W winds 10-20 mph with gusts to around 30.

Mostly cloudy with a 40% chance of overnight showers and thunderstorms. Low lower 60s. NW winds 5-10 mph becoming NE overnight.

Measured .40″ overnight rain. Had a nice little rain a little after 2:00-even some thunder. It was lovely. Today gives us a fair chance for some more rain, maybe tonight, might be tomorrow. Then a week of clear sailing ahead with no rain in view, temperatures in the 80s…as of now, anyway. Things probably changing as I type this. So right now I’d say it does look as if we’re in for a nice weather weekend and beginning of the new week. After that? The usual wait and see game, I reckon.

Currently 74 with an average wind from the SE of 1 mph. Feels like 75 degrees. Dew Point 69, Barometer 30.09, Humidity 91%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:17 am, Sunset 9:21 pm.

Starting with some sunshine but developing clouds with about a 15% chance of a stray shower popping up. High 81. WSW winds 10-15 mph.

Mostly cloudy with a 30% chance of late thunderstorms developing. Low 72, SSW winds 10-15 mph.

There seems to be a fairly good chance of us getting some strong storms late tonight and into tomorrow morning. That doesn’t mean we will, of course, ’cause our weather hardly ever work out the way it’s predicted. And, again as usual, we could hovering on the fringe area of the strong storm line. Or at least not in the bull’s eye zone. However, that storm system is moving our way through Wisconsin and will eventually head across the big lake toward Michigan. So we should be prepared just in case. Doesn’t hurt and could possibly help. One of these days, the predicted weather will come about so being prepared just makes sense.

Currently 73 with an average wind from the SW of 4 mph. Feels like 75 degrees. Dew Point 70, Barometer 29.97, Humidity 93%, Visibility 8 mi., Sunrise 6:16 am, Sunset 9:22 pm.

Mostly cloudy with a 50% chance of showers and thunderstorms. High 76. WSW winds 10-15 mph with gusts to around 20.

Partly cloudy with a slight chance of precipitation. Low 64. WSW winds 10-15 mph.

Okay, so the forecast keeps throwing in the chance for rain, but none keeps showing up. None. Except for tomorrow. No rain in the picture then. So maybe that’s when we’ll get some? I’m not sure. All I know is there doesn’t seem to make much sense planning your days around a thunderstorm here lately. I reckon there’s a good chance that even if you cart your umbrella around with you, you probably aren’t going to be needing it. Or maybe you will…goodness knows at this point. My forecast is for you to be able to get on with things and forget about being rained out…or maybe not.  All I’m sure of is I’m getting good and tired of typing the word rain and having no idea of what it even means anymore.  Bottom line? We haven’t had any sunshine the past few days, but then again, we haven’t had any rain either. End of story.

Currently 67 with an average wind from the ENE of 7 mph. Feels like 67 degrees. Dew Point 63, Barometer 30.09, Humidity 86%, Visibility 9 mi., Sunrise 6:13 am, Sunset 9:21 pm.

Mostly cloudy with a 40% chance of showers and a slight chance of afternoon thunderstorms. High in the upper 70s. E winds 5 -10 mph with gusts to 25.

70% chance of overnight showers and thunderstorms. Low in the upper 60s. Light winds.

They keep forecasting rain but so far none has shown up. Still looking for some today, tonight, tomorrow. Might get some sunshine Wednesday though. At least the sky is looking like it could turn into a rainy day or evening. Reckon the only thing to do is keep the umbrella handy and get on with things. As usual.
