Murphy's Weather

Temperature 70 degrees with a weak NNE wind of 3 mph making not one iota of difference, so it feels like 70 degrees. Dew Point 68, Humidity 96%, Barometer 29.99 & rising, Visibility 8 mi. A mix of sun and clouds with a high of 92. SSW winds 5 – 10 mph.

100% chance of overnight thunderstorms. Some storms could be severe. Low 71. S winds 5 – 10 mph.

A good day to be seeking out nice cool places to hide in. The picture is of a scene from a recent riverboat trip and it looks like a fine place in which to do just that.  I won’t be there, of course. I’ll be out tending to errands that must be done today – in the heat. Alas and alack. Nothing to do about it but be glad it isn’t icy and snowy and bitter cold.  And I can most certainly do that. I’d rather have this any day. Good thing, ’cause here it comes :>)

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.

Currently 72 with a W wind of 3 mph totally ignoring the playing field, so it’s feeling like 72. Dew Point 65, Humidity 79%, Barometer 30.04 & rising, Visibility 10 mi. A mix of sun and clouds with the possibility of a stray shower or thunderstorm showing up this afternoon. High 87. Light and variable winds.

Clear this evening becoming cloudy with a 50% chance of overnight showers or thunderstorms. Low 67. Light and variable winds.

Not feeling bad this morning but it’s going to warm up nicely by later today. Sounds as if we could see close to 90 by Sunday. We’ll see how it goes. The oppressive heat in the states to the south of us could jolly well stay to the south. Even for me, those numbers they’re tossing around are way too high. Actual temperatures in the upper 90s and into the 100 range – nope. Don’t want any part of that.

Currently 70 with a SSW wind of 4 mph ignoring that number so it feels exactly like the 70 it is. Dew Point 63, Humidity 90%, Barometer 30.06 & rising, Visibility 9 mi. Plenty of sunshine today with a high near 86. WSW wind 5 – 10 mph.

A few passing clouds, low 65. SW winds 5 – 10 mph.

Going to be hot for awhile here but I see they’ve tossed in the chance of rain about every day for the next 5 or so. Swell. That means the humidity is going to go through the roof again. That’s a bummer. I love the heat. I really enjoy the rain. But put them together and not so much. Nothing to do about it except be grateful we aren’t going to be dealing with the extremely high temperatures so many other states have going for them this summer. And I am. Grateful.

Currently 66 degrees with a WNW wind of 6 mph ignoring that so it still feels like 66. Dew Point 61, Humidity 85%, Barometer 30.36 & rising, Visibility 10 mi. Mostly cloudy morning, partly cloudy afternoon. High 74 with a NW wind 10 – 15 mph.

Mostly cloudy early becoming clear overnight. Low 57. NNW wind 10 – 15 mph.

Yesterday was sheer gruesome. The humidity was so bad it felt as if you could hardly breath. The temperature never got real high, but that humidity…. So today, even though it’s still high, feels like a total different animal. Thank God.

The rabbits have graciously left me one stalk of Queen Ann’s Lace and one Blue Chicory. Good enough, I say. They’ve had fun and I still get a little color out in my tiny backyard.
