Sunday, July 31, 2022-SW Michigan-Farewell To July – Already

Sunday, July 31, 2022-SW Michigan-Farewell To July – Already

Currently 65 with an average wind from the SE at 3 mph. Feels like 65 degrees. Dew Point 62, Barometer 30.07, Humidity 73%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:31 am, Sunset 9:09 pm.

Mostly sunny today with a high in the mid 80s. SW winds 5-10 mph.

Partly cloudy with a low in the mid 60s. SW winds 5-10 mph with gusts to 20 overnight.

Today will be another winner – the last of the month of July. Can’t believe how fast it’s flown. Look for some rain on Monday and again Wednesday on into early Thursday. Still looks like at least one day touching 90 degrees, but that’s down from the original 3 they were talking about. Hey – we can take one. Easy. Anyway, enjoy today, it’s going to be a good one.

Saturday, July 30, 2022-SW Michigan-A Great Summer Day In Store For Us

Saturday, July 30, 2022-SW Michigan-A Great Summer Day In Store For Us

Currently 68 with an average wind from the S of 2 mph. Feels like 68 degrees. Dew Point 64, Barometer 30.15, Humidity 71%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:30 am, Sunset 9:06 pm.

Sunny with a high in the lower 80s. SW winds around 10 mph.

Mostly clear overnight with a low in the upper 50s. SW winds 5 mph.

Great weather for us today. Not overly warm, no wind to speak of,  clear blue skies. I guess this is about a perfect summer day. Look for some rain perhaps around Monday. And for the heat to ramp up starting about Tuesday. But for now, this weekend is going to be terrific. Enjoy.

Friday, July 29, 2022-SW Michigan-Enjoy Today, Heat Is Coming Back

Friday, July 29, 2022-SW Michigan-Enjoy Today, Heat Is Coming Back

Currently 70 with an average wind from the SW of 3 mph. Feels like 70 degrees. Dew Point 58, Barometer 29.92, Humidity 63%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:29 am, Sunset 9:07 pm.

Sunny. High in the mid 70s. W winds 5=15 mph.

Mostly clear overnight. Low in the mid 50s. NW winds around 10 mph becoming light.

Yesterday and today, with very comfortable 70 degrees, could hardly be improved on. Hopefully you’ve been able to enjoy them because it is, unfortunately, coming to an end.  The heat will now once again begin to build until about midweek next week when we will be flirting with 90 degrees again for several sweltering days. Most likely dip into the 90s once or twice. The only thing we can hold on to then is at least we won’t be dealing with the 100-degree days so many other places around our nation have had to cope with this summer.  And even when we do heat up to uncomfortable temperatures, it rarely sticks around very long. We’re pretty lucky here in SW Michigan. Do try to keep that in mind when you’re sweltering under the 90 degrees and grumbling about the heat :>)

Thursday, July 28, 2022-SW Michigan-Enjoy The Seventy Degree Days

Thursday, July 28, 2022-SW Michigan-Enjoy The Seventy Degree Days

Currently 70 with an average wind from the SSW of 3 mph. Feels like 70 degrees. Dew Point 67, Barometer 29.8, Humidity 89%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:28 am, Sunset 9:08 pm.

Party sunny with a 20% chance of morning showers and thunderstorms in the morning. High in the upper 70s. W winds 10-20 mph.

Mostly clear overnight with a low in the upper 50s. W winds 5-10 mph becoming light.

Today, tomorrow…lovely 70-degree days that won’t be with us much longer than that. The heat begins to build soon after and next week we’ll be back in the upper 80s, maybe some 90s. So this is a small but welcome respite from all of that warmth. A light rain this morning left everything fresh and clean looking. Perhaps there will be some rain about next Monday but not a great chance. We’ll see how it goes.

Wednesday, July 27, 2022-SW Michigan-Gloomy Morning Perhaps Some Afternoon Rain

Wednesday, July 27, 2022-SW Michigan-Gloomy Morning Perhaps Some Afternoon Rain

Currently 68 with an average wind from the SE of 2 mph. Feels like 68 degrees. Dew Point 68, Barometer 29.82, Humidity 94%, Visibility 9 mi., Sunrise 6:27 am, Sunset 9:09 pm.

Partly cloudy (it says) with a 30% chance of showers and a slight chance of a thunderstorm. High in the lower 80s. SW winds 5-15 mph with gusts to 25.

Partly cloudy with a 20% chance of overnight showers. Low in the lower 60s. SW winds 5-10 mph in the evening becoming light.

I see not so much as an iota yet this morning of a partly cloudy sky. Pretty much entirely overcast. Not a great chance for rain this afternoon or overnight but there is some. Wouldn’t be a bad idea. Only other slight chance for show showers seems to be about next Monday night. Other than that, dry and heating up. Next week promises to be much warmer than this one.

Tuesday, July 26, 2022-SW Michigan-Should Be A Fine Summer Day

Tuesday, July 26, 2022-SW Michigan-Should Be A Fine Summer Day

Currently 64 with a calm wind from the SSE. Feels like 64 degrees. Dew Point 58, Barometer 30., Humidity 64%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:26 am, Sunset 9:10 pm.

Mostly sunny today with a high in the upper 70s. Light winds.

Partly cloudy with a 30% chance of some overnight rain. Low in the lower 60s. Light winds.

Seems like a pleasant summer day in store for us today. Maybe some rain tonight and on into tomorrow morning. I’m hoping we do get some because it looks like a long dry week ahead of us with no precipitation in sight. At least not for now. This week should remain in the comfort summer zone but look for the week after to heat back up into the hot zone. It’s summer, after all.

Monday, July 25, 2022-SW Michigan-Cooler Week Ahead

Monday, July 25, 2022-SW Michigan-Cooler Week Ahead

Currently 67 with an average wind from the NW of 5 mph. Feels like 67 degrees. Dew Point 54, Barometer 29.98, Humidity 64%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:25 am, Sunset 9:11 pm.

Sunny with a high in the mid 70s. NW winds 5-15 mph with gusts to around 25.

Partly cloudy overnight with a low in the mid 50s. W winds around 10 mph in the evening becoming light.

Looks like 70-degree temperatures coming our way all week. Perhaps some rain Tuesday night though Wednesday morning but otherwise clear skies for us. Should be a pleasant week for our area.

Sunday, July 24, 2022-SW Michigan-A Rainy Sunday Morning

Sunday, July 24, 2022-SW Michigan-A Rainy Sunday Morning

Currently 69 with an average wind from the NE of 4 mph. Feels like 69 degrees. Dew Point 67, Barometer 29.81, Humidity 100%, Visibility 7 mi., Sunrise 6:24 am, Sunset 9:12 pm.

70% chance of morning showers and thunderstorms, then partly sunny with a slight chance of afternoon showers. High in the lower 80s. SW winds 10-20 mph becoming W 15-20 in the afternoon with gusts to 30.

Mostly clear. Low around 60. NW 5-15 mph with gusts to 25 in the evening.

Had some great thunder rolling with wonderful rain last night. Once we get past today, no rain seems to be in our picture until perhaps Tuesday night into Wednesday morning. Otherwise, the week is looking pretty good. No extreme temperatures and plenty of sunshine. Should be a winner coming up.

Saturday, July 23, 2022-SW Michigan-Watch Out For Strong Overnight Storms

Saturday, July 23, 2022-SW Michigan-Watch Out For Strong Overnight Storms

Currently 76 with an average wind from the S of 3 mph. Feels like 76 degrees. Dew Point 68, Barometer 29.92, Humidity 82%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:23 am, Sunset 5:13 pm.

Mostly cloudy until about midday then some clearing possible. A 30% chance of showers and thunderstorms. High around 90. SW winds 10-15 mph with gusts to 20. Heat index to 96 degrees.

90% chance of showers and thunderstorms overnight. A low in the low 70s. SW winds 5-10 mph with gusts to 25.

Strong winds aloft that are traveling our way could bring us some severe storms with very strong winds, especially this evening. Be watchful and prepared. Hopefully much of it will swing to the south of us, but don’t count on that. It’s going to be hot and humid today and unless things chance, as of now, it won’t cool off to real comfort overnight. Those potentially damaging winds aren’t going to be blowing away our heat as quick as we’d like.  It will be cooler tomorrow than today, but the rain seems set on holding on and continuing through tomorrow morning.  Just do keep an eye on the sky and developments later today and into tonight.

Friday, July 22, 2022-SW Michigan-Hot With Chance of Weekend Rain

Friday, July 22, 2022-SW Michigan-Hot With Chance of Weekend Rain

Currently 68 with an average wind from the SSW of 1 mph. Feels like 68 degrees. Dew Point 64, Barometer 29.83, Humidity 83%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:22 am, Sunset 9:14 pm

Mostly sunny with a high in the upper 80s. W winds 5-15 mph with gusts to around 25.

Partly cloudy with a 40% chance of overnight showers and a slight chance of a thunderstorm. Low in the upper 60s. SW winds 5-10 mph with gusts to 20 in the evening.

Looks like a warm couple of days and unfortunately for those who have the weekends to be out and about, it looks like a good possibility of some rain. Hopefully it will be mostly overnight on Saturday but keep those umbrellas – or alternate plans – ready just in case.
