Murphy's Weather

Currently 69 with a SW wind of 9 mph skipping about but making no difference in how it feels – like the 69 degrees that it is. Dew Point, Humidity 86%, Barometer 29.95 & rising, Visibility 9 mi, Sunrise 6:33 am, Sunset 9:02 pm. Cloudy with a chance of afternoon showers or thunderstorms. High 83. SW winds 10 -20 mph.

Cloudy with a chance of a shower or thunderstorms, becoming partly cloudy overnight. Low 63. WSW winds 5 -10 mph.

Not a bad morning going on. Looking forward to the opportunity for some afternoon rain, but it’s rather on the iffy side. We did get .09″ of overnight rain, which is good, but not nearly as much as we need. It’s bizarre with all the rain and flooding going on elsewhere, how much we need a bit of rain here. Mother Nature never seems to get things evened out. Wish she’d try harder.

And just saw a map of how many fires are blazing on the West Coast. It’s truly frightening. Now talk about needing a mess of rain! And there, it looks like nothing serious is on the horizon to help them out. Scary – and sad.

Currently 71 with a WSW wind of 5 mph hardly stirring the air so it feels like the 71 degrees it is. Dew Point 63, Humidity 77%, Barometer 29.93, Visibility 10 mi, Sunrise 6:32 am, Sunset 9:03 pm. Cloudy morning with the chance of a stay shower or thunderstorm, decreasing clouds in the afternoon. High 82. WSW winds 5 – 10 mph.

Partly cloudy tonight with the chance of a stray shower and thunderstorm. Low 64. SW winds 10 – 15 mph.

Still no sign of the sun, but we know it’s up there, so good enough. And still no rain here. Other parts of the state got a goodly amount last night. My understanding is there were even some tornado concerns and flooding over by the Detroit area, but still very dry here. We could sure use some of the excessive precipitation that’s falling all over the place other than here. Eventually we’ll get some.

Temperature 66 with an ENE wind of 5 mph skipping about but making no difference, so it feels like 66 degrees. Dew Point 61, Humidity 86%, Barometer 30.04 & rising, Visibility 9 mi, Sunrise 6:31 am, Sunset 9:04 pm. Morning clouds and sun will be come all clouds in the afternoon with the chance for a stray shower or thunderstorm popping up. High 82. E winds 5 – 10 mph.

Mostly cloudy to partly cloudy tonight with that same chance for a stray shower or thunderstorm. Low 61. ENE winds 5 – 10 mph.

Supposed to be seeing some sun out there among the clouds but no…hard as I try I see nothing of the sort. Pretty solid cloud cover up there this morning. There’s a better chance tomorrow and Thursday for a stray shower to pop up. Lots and lots of precipitation way to the south, but Michigan seems to be staying up out of the fray for the time being. Can’t believe all the rain the East Coast seems to be stuck in, they can’t seem to get a break. No such weather going on here, which we’re all happy about. We do need rain, but not as much as what’s falling on the coast.

Currently 63 with an ENE wind of 1 mph making not one iota of difference, so it feels like 63 degrees. Dew Point 60, Humidity 90%, Barometer 30.08, Visibility 10 mi, Sunrise 6:30 am, Sunset 9:05 pm. Partly cloudy with a slight chance for a shower or thunderstorm. High 81. ENE winds 5 – 10 mph.

About the same tonight with a low near 60. NE winds 5 – 10 mph.

Just saw the long-range forecast for my area during the month of August – near or slightly below normal temperatures, which would put it in the 70 degree mark. Not a bad thought. Not hot, not cold, just comfortable? Who could possibly argue with that? Certainly not me. The very thought of not having to use the A/C for the month is a delight. Windows open, breezes blowing in? Perfect. Now we’ll see how close that prediction comes.
