Thursday, July 20 Southwest Michigan – Rain Mainly Swept South Of Us
Currently 70 degrees with a West wind of 7 mph only skirting around the edge, so 70 is exactly how it feels. Dew Point 67, Humidity 91%, Barometer 29.99, Visibility 10 mi. Cloudy morning with the chance of rain to a partly cloudy afternoon. High in the upper 80s. W winds 10 – 15 mph.
A few passing clouds overnight, low 63. Light winds.
Once again the massive precipitation ran off and left us behind. We could have used a little more rain. I only measured .02 in the gauge this morning. Not enough to completely darken the parking lot. Looking at the radar last night, there was a huge, enormous blob of green and yellow and orange and….well, plenty of moisture in the air, all looking as if we were going to be included in the fun. Not to be. The rain mainly stayed in Spain….no, no…that’s a musical….The rain mostly clung to the edges of the big area of high heat crawling across the middle of the country and so the leading edge of it is to the south of us. As long as the rain associates with that heat, I think we’re all happy it’s avoiding us. We are going to have a hot couple of days but nothing like they’re dealing with to the south of us.
