A splendid Summer Saturday and a fine beginning to the month of August. Temperature will remain comfortable but there is a slight chance for some rain tonight and tomorrow. None after that until next weekend, so I guess we’d better hope we get a bit of this go-round. Not that it’s going to make any big difference. We can be on the list, next in line almost, but still miss out on much precipitation. We’ll see how it goes this time – as usual. In the meantime, enjoy today. It’s going to be  a dandy.

Currently 61 with an average wind from the NE of 1 mph. Feels like 61 degrees.  Dew Point 54, Barometer 30.13, Humidity 80%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:32 am, Sunset 9:07 pm.

Partly cloudy with a high of 76 degrees. N winds 5 -10 mph.

Some evening clouds will become mostly clear overnight. Low 53. N winds 5 -10 mph.

Feels downright chilly this morning. I hesitate to even think fall…but when I went out to feed the critters, that was the feeling that hovered around. This coming week looks to be in the 70 degree daytime temperature range. Very comfortable for most any and everything outdoors. There is a very slight chance of some rain tomorrow, but the rest of the week hasn’t a hint of precipitation in view. August seems to be coming in mild and without weather dramatics.

Currently 75 with an average wind from the NW of 3 mph. Feels like 76 degrees. Dew Point 68, Barometer 29.79, Humidity 80%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:31 am, Sunset 9:08 pm.

Sun and clouds mix today with a high of 83. NNW winds 10-20 mph.

Clear to partly cloudy overnight with a low of 55. N winds 10-20.

Once again, whatever storms were in the wind decided to travel elsewhere. I didn’t notice any lightening, thunder, wind…I only measured .10″ of rain in the gauge this morning, so we were pretty much ignored by this latest system. Today with this high humidity and high dew point, the air isn’t going to feel all that comfortable but we are heading into a nice cool down. The entire coming week should put us in the 70 degree range, so it should be pleasant summertime weather. So far, nothing drastic, nothing harsh, nothing unexpected in store.

Currently 79 with an average wind from the SW of 1 mph. Feels like 82 degrees. Dew Point 67, Barometer 30.04, Humidity 70%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:30 am, Sunset 9:09 pm.

Mix of sun and clouds today with a high of 89. Light and variable winds.

80% chance of overnight scattered thunderstorms. Some storms could be severe and produce damaging winds. Low around 70. SW winds 10-15 mph.

There is a storm system working its way toward us but, as usual, we never know. Mostly the rain storms slide off in some other direction. This is fine in that we miss the bad stuff but missing out on the rain isn’t always so good. Would welcome some rain. Maybe some thunder and lightening,  but the severe part we can do without. I guess we’ll see what comes our way. Just a heads up that the weather could get a bit feisty during the night.

Currently 75 with an average wind from the NW of 2 mph. Feels like 76 degrees. Dew Point 63, Barometer 29.98, Humidity 69%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:29 am, Sunset 9:10 pm.

Sunshine and clouds today with a slight chance of a rain shower or thunderstorm popping up. High 88. W winds 10-15 mph.

Partly cloudy overnight skies with that same small chance of rain or a thunderstorm showing up. Low 65. NNE winds 5 -10 mph.

There is the threat of some severe weather but it really looks as if it will be traveling, once again, through the upper parts of Michigan, leaving the loser part of Michigan alone. That slight chance of severe weather might be a bit more located in our area about Wednesday night, early Thursday. But that’s iffy – as is usually the case. Just something to keep in mind as a possibility. In the meantime it will be warm and a bit humid. Summery stuff.

Currently 77 degrees with an average wind from the SW of 2 mph. Feels like 78 degrees. Dew Point 66, Barometer 29.98, Humidity 72%, Visibility 10 mi, Sunrise 6:28 am, Sunset 9:11 pm.

Sunny with a high near 90. WNW winds 10-15 mph.

A few passing overnight clouds. Low 67. WSW winds 5-10 mph.

Count on a close, humid, hot day. Tomorrow and Wednesday will likely be on the warm side, too, but then the chance of some rain around Thursday should bring in a bit of relief from the heat. By then I suspect any lessening of the temperature will be welcome. Most certainly not in the dire conditions of some parts of our nation sweltering under days and days of 100+ heat, but 90 and humid in Michigan is hot enough. Any outside chores might better be tended to early to avoid as much of it as you can. That’s my plan, anyway.

Currently 81 with an average wind from the W of 1 mph. Feels like 83 degrees. Dew Point 65, Barometer 29.91, Humidity 63%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:27 am, Sunset 9:12 pm.

Sunny skies with a high about 86 degrees. WNW winds 10-15 mph.

Mostly clear overnight sky. Low 61. W winds 5 -10 mph.

Tomorrow we should be brushing close to 90 but as today, the humidity isn’t supposed to be out of sight, so shouldn’t be too terribly uncomfortable. As for the rain chances we had yesterday, I’m not sure about anyone else’s backyard, but mine got precious little of it. Brief, sporadic batches of light rain. I measured a whole .09″ this morning in the rain gauge. I could see storm elsewhere on the radar but nothing even close here. As is so often the case. In the meantime, enjoy this lovely summer weather. I know I will.

Currently 78 with an average wind from the SW of 5 mph. Feels like 80 degrees. Dew Point 72, Barometer 29.92, Humidity 87%, Visibility 5 mi., Sunrise 6:26 am, Sunset 9:13 pm.

Partly cloudy to mostly  cloudy with a 50% chance of showers and thunderstorms. The possibility for severe storms exists. High near 85. WSW winds 10-20 mph.

70% chance of evening thunderstorms should give way to partly cloudy skies after midnight. Storms may contain gusty winds. Low 67 degrees. W winds 10-20 mph.

There seems to be a chance of some severe weather later today, maybe overnight but tomorrow should shape up to be a grand day. Just have to weather whatever comes out way until then. Right now it’s quite muggy, the air is close and heavy. A good rain might help clear that out – looking forward to it.

Currently 69 degrees with an average wind from the SSW of 3 mph. Feels like 69 degrees. Dew Point 68, Barometer 30.13, Humidity, 97%, Visibility 7 mi., Sunrise 6:25 am, Sunset 9:14 pm.

30% chance of showers or thunderstorms in the morning becoming mostly cloudy and hazy with a slight chance of afternoon rain. High 83. SW winds 5 -10 mph.

40% chance of overnight shower or thunderstorms. Cloudy and hazy conditions continue. Low 71. S winds at 5-10 mph.

Quite humid this morning with a slight haze in the air. We did get, according to my rain gauge measurement, .80″ of rain last night. Slight mist this morning when I went out to feed the critters. We could get a bit more rain today, tonight and tomorrow but Sunday remains looking excellent. Looking forward to the niceness of Sunday, but have no aversion to an equally nice rain today and maybe tomorrow. Can easily do without storms, but a gentle rain is nothing short of lovely. Keeping things green and hydrated while giving us a chance to enjoy doing inside chores. A win/win situation.

Currently 72 with an average wind from the SE of 3 mph. Feels like 71 degrees. Dew Point 55, Barometer 30.20, Humidity 61%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:24 am, Sunset 9:15 pm.

Mix of sun and clouds today with a small chance of a stray shower possible. High 82. SW winds 5 -10 mph.

Increasing clouds with a 50% chance of overnight showers or thunderstorms possible. Low around 65. SSW winds 5 -10 mph.

The possibility of a bit of rain keeps cropping up but so far it’s not amounting to anything. It may at some point. A fair chance tomorrow night through Saturday showing up yet with Sunday still sounding about perfect.

Still watching disturbing numbers come out as a result of the historic flooding in Germany and Belgium. I think it’s up past 200 now. So tragic. Extreme weather around the globe continues to make me feel blessed about where we are here in SW Michigan. We get some good and some bad but rarely anything as harsh and dangerous as so many other places on this planet.  Feeling blessed at the same time feeling sorry for others not so fortunate. It’s basically a crap-shoot, isn’t it? Life on this earth of ours can be a puzzle and a pain or mellow and manageable – and anything in between. What a world!
