Tuesday, August 14, 2018 South West Michigan – Gonna Be A Hot One

Tuesday, August 14, 2018 South West Michigan – Gonna Be A Hot One

Currently 75 with a WSW wind of 6 mph. Feels like 75. Dew Point 67, Humidity 78%, Barometer 29.95 & falling, Visibility 10 mi, Sunrise 6:46 am, Sunset 8:45 pm. Sunny to partly cloudy, high 89. W winds  10 – 15 mph.

Partly cloudy with a low of 67. SW winds 10 – 15 mph.

Still holding out the chance of some rain Wednesday through Friday, but in all honesty, the percentage seems to be dwindling. And we are still in need of some good soakings. All I know is we’re definitely not getting any today and it’s going to be a mighty warm one – again.

Monday, August 13, 2018 South West Michigan – Clouds Beginning To Gather

Monday, August 13, 2018 South West Michigan – Clouds Beginning To Gather

Currently 73 with a SE wind of 2 mph. Feels like 73 degrees, Dew Point 65, Humidity 90%, Barometer 30.10 & rising, Visibility 8 mi, Sunrise 6:45 am, Sunset 8:47 pm. Sunny to partly cloudy. High 87. Light and variable winds.

Partly cloudy overnight skies. Low 64. SW winds 5 – 10 mph.

Not much of a breeze stirring the humid air this morning, so it does feel rather close. Chances are building that we could get some much needed rain beginning on Wednesday right through about Saturday. You would think in all of those possible days, we’d catch a break and get some precipitation, wouldn’t you? My fingers are crossed. We shall see.

Sunday, Aug. 12, 2018 South West Michigan – Hot Summer Weather Continues

Sunday, Aug. 12, 2018 South West Michigan – Hot Summer Weather Continues

Currently 79 with an E wind of 5 mph. Feels like a warm 83 degrees out there already. Dew Point 63, Humidity 59%, Barometer 30.11, Visibility 10 mi, Sunrise 6:44 am, Sunset 8:48 pm. Sunny today with a high of 86. ENE winds 5 – 10 mph.

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

Wonderful – but dry – summer weather continues. For some – like for instance my youngest son whose home A/C has died – this hot summer weather isn’t really so wonderful, but for those of us who can duck into the A/C cooled house for relief, it’s pretty good. There is a small chance of a bit of rain about midweek, but for now, dry is the way things continue around here.

Saturday, August 11, 2018 South West Michigan – Sun, Clouds, Perhaps A Bit Of Rain

Saturday, August 11, 2018 South West Michigan – Sun, Clouds, Perhaps A Bit Of Rain

Currently 68 with a W wind of 4 mph. Feels like 68 degrees. Dew Point 62, Humidity 81%, Barometer 29.98 & rising, Sunrise 6:43 am, Sunset 8:50 pm. Partly cloudy with a 40% chance of an afternoon shower or thunderstorm. High 87. W winds 5 -10 mph.

Mostly clear with q low of 61. N winds 5 – 10 mph.

Not a bad Saturday and I do hope for those who only have the weekends free that the rain skips on over us and leaves them a dry two days off.  We could use the rain, but those who work all week long need those two days to wander around in the great outdoors and tend to whatever needs doing. If it must rain, I would hope it can hold off until Monday. That might be a busy day for me, but I can either dodge the raindrops or am lucky enough to be able to put off what I need to do to another day if necessary. At any rate, starting the weekend off just fine for now. Warm and dry.

Friday, August 10, 2018 South West Michigan – Sunny And Pleasant

Currently 72 with an ENE wind of 9 mph. Feels like 72 degrees, Dew Point 65, Humidity 79%, Barometer 29.98 & rising, Visibility 10 mi, Sunrise 6:42 am, Sunset 8:51 pm. Nothing but a sunny sky today with a high of 84. E winds 5 – 10 mph.

Clear overnight skies, low 62, ESE winds 5 – 10 mph.

A perfect day to be doing just about any and every thing you’d want to be doing on a summer’s day. This is a fine one coming up with not one single thing to complain about in my little world.

Tuesday, August 7, 2018 South West Michigan – Some Morning Sun, Afternoon Rain

Currently 72 degrees with a calm wind. Feels like 72 degrees. Dew Point 69, Humidity 93%, Barometer 29.98 & rising, Visibility 8 mi, Sunrise 6:38 am, Sunset 8:55 pm. Partly cloudy morning with a 40% chance of afternoon showers and thunderstorms. High 81. NW winds 5 – 10 mph.

40% chance of overnight showers and thunderstorms. Light and variable winds.

A find morning with enough sunshine to make it feel better than the high Dew Point and Humidity would suggest. We did get .05″ rain yesterday, which isn’t much but some. Perhaps we’ll get more later today and tonight. Do hope so. We are in need.

Monday, August 6, 2018 South West Michigan – Finally Some Rain

Monday, August 6, 2018 South West Michigan – Finally Some Rain

Currently 72 with a W winds of 12 mph. Feels like 72 degrees. Dew Point 67, Humidity 87%, Barometer 30.04, Visibility 2 mi, Sunrise 6:37 am, Sunset 8:57 pm. 60% chance of showers and thunderstorms. Some storms could possibly be severe. 1″ of rain possible. High 83. SW winds 10 – 15 mph.

Same for tonight with a low of 66. W winds 5 – 10 mph.

Woke to the lack of light pouring in through the window and the sound of gentle rain. So far, it’s gentle even though some wild weather could be in store for us later on today. In the meantime, I’ve measured .11″ of rainfall in the gauge already and thankful to say it’s still raining. An easy rainy day. How I would love to be able to stay right here and enjoy it but no…Monday is a busy day, so umbrella in hand, I shall be out and about in no time. Drat!

Sunday, August 5, 2018 South West Michigan – Hot Today, Maybe Rain Tomorrow

Currently 79 with a SSW wind of 13 mph. Feels like 83. Dew Point 68, Humidity 68%, Barometer 30.03 & rising, Visibility 10 mi, Sunrise 6:36 am, Sunset 8:53 pm. Partly cloudy today with a slight chance for a scattered shower or thunderstorm. High 91. SW winds 10 -20 mph.

40% chance of overnight showers and thunderstorms. Low 72. SW winds 10 -20 mph.

It’s a stuffy feeling morning, going to get good and hot like it did yesterday. Been watching leaves fall here and there at an alarming rate. It’s SO dry, the poor things haven’t a chance of holding on. And I’m not saying all the leaves are falling, but far too many of them in spots. We are surely in need of a good rain or two.

Saturday, August 4, 2018 South West Michigan – Hot Weekend In Store

Saturday, August 4, 2018 South West Michigan – Hot Weekend In Store

Currently 76 with an average wind from the S of 6 mph hardly rippling the air, so it feels like the 75 degrees it is. De Point 65, Barometer 30.07, Humidity 68%, Visibility 10mi, Sunrise 6:35 am, Sunset 8:59 pm. Mostly sunny today with a high of 92-93. SW winds 10 -15 mph.

Partly cloudy tonight with a low around 72. SSW winds 5 – 10 mph.

Whew! The heat came back with a vengeance and the A/C units will be humming this weekend. Very possibly a couple of 90 degree days for us, which is pretty darn warm. Monday is a busy day – my busiest, so of course, there are storms in the forecast. We shall see. In the meantime, I’m staying in, staying cool and staying busy with indoor stuff. Best way I know to handle 90 degree days :>)

Friday, August 3, 2018 South West Michigan – The Heat’s Gonna Come Back

Friday, August 3, 2018 South West Michigan – The Heat’s Gonna Come Back

Currently 64 with a NNW wind of 5 mph making no difference in how it feels, so it’s 64 degrees out there. Dew Point 63, Barometer 30.04 & rising, Humidity 97%, Visibility 9 mi, Sunrise 6:34 am, Sunset 9:01 pm. Partly cloudy to day with a high of 82. W winds 5 – 10 mph.

Clear overnight skies, low 60. WSW winds 5 – 10 mph.

Okay, so another storm system went scudding by…and I do mean right on by. Even had a Weather Alert out of it. What we did not get was a single drop of rain. The storms continue on their march either to the north, south, east or west of here. We continue to stay much too dry.

And in addition to no rain, which we truly do need, we are getting the heat back. Supposed to be in the 90s tomorrow and Sunday. That ought to help dry things out even more. Right now, there’s a fair chance for some rain on Monday, but we’ll have to wait and see how that goes.
