Sunday, July 21, 2024-SW Michigan-Pleasant Summer Sunday

Currently 77 with an average wind from the S of 3 mph. Feels like 77 degrees. Dew Point 64, Barometer 30.12, Humidity 64%, Visibility 10 mi, Sunrise 6:23 am, Sunset 9:14 pm.

This is a delightful Sunday morning even with a chance of showers later on, so far this is a dandy day. Look for some rain coming in perhaps Monday night, maybe Tuesday and Wednesday. Or…maybe not. At any rate, our temperatures will be going up as the week progresses. Next weekend, as of now, is looking like a hot one. We’ll see how it goes but in the meantime, hope you can enjoy this day.

Saturday, July 20, 2024-SW Michigan- A Pleasant Day For Us

Currently 70 with an average wind from the SSW of 5 mph. Feels like 70 degrees. Dew Point 58, Barometer 30.15, Humidity 68%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:22 am, Sunset 9:15 pm.

This should be a nice day to be out and about. A good weekend, in fact. Take advantage of this one as the next weekend looks to be a sweltering hot one. Could change by then, but for now, it’s looking hot. In the meantime rain could be coming in or us late Tuesday and perhaps last until Thursday. Seems like comfortable temperatures this week. Summery, but comfortable.

Currently 66 with an average wind from the WSW 6 mph. Feels like 66 degrees. Dew Point 56, Barometer 30.23, Humidity 65%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:21 am, Sunset 9:15 pm.

Sunny. High in the upper 70s. Light winds becoming W 5-10 mph in the afternoon.

Clear in the evening becoming partly cloudy. Low in the mid 50s. Light winds.

Chilly enough this morning to make me not want to get up – or wish I could turn on the furnace from the bed so when I did force myself to get up, it would be warm. Much to my kitten’s unhappiness, I closed the bedroom window last night. Nothing I hate more than being cold. And this morning was simply too cold.

Look for sun and clouds for the next few days but rain will set in about next Tuesday and could last through Thursday.

Felt like a fall morning today. Not a fan. Don’t be looking for any drastic rises in our temperatures for a while. And no rain in sight, for now, until about next Tuesday and Wednesday. Should be a decent summer week with nights cool enough for good sleeping with windows open. Me? I like it warmer, but hey…I’m a true summer fan.

What a pleasant week coming up. No rain in sight – as of right now – until a week from today, actually. Mostly sun with some clouds floating around once in a while. No drastic heat. This is simply a lovely summer week in store for us. And yes, we all know how fast something can crop up, but looking ahead now, nothing. The Jet Stream is giving us a break as it shifted to the south, leaving us out of the sweltering southern heat. We aren’t being burdened with all the heavy rain that’s causing flooding problem in the southern tier of our nation. We are in the sweet spot this week. Enjoy it best you can would be my advise.

Had a terrific thunderstorm last night. Started with a startling loud blast that slowly rumbled off into the distance taking it’s sweet time. Then evolved into what sounded like an audible version of Christmas ribbon candy…something that folded in on itself over and over and over. Very distinctive sound, this one.  Today, no rain so far in my little backyard, but plenty of clouds and gloom. Appears we will have sunshine the rest of the week, without drastic hot temperatures. Sounds good.

Had a proper thunderstorm lat night around 2:30. Plenty of thunder, lightening, and rain.  There is the possibility of some rain and severe weather this evening/over night as the cold front comes through. This cold front will eventually drop our temperatures into the 70s by Wednesday. Should be a comfortable week later on but today will still be warm. Tomorrow not so much, but still not into the 70s yet.

Could be warm and muggy for a day or so but the Jet Stream in beginning a nice dip to the south. This will leave us in cooler weather starting about Tuesday. Might get some rain Monday and Tuesday but sunshine after that. Our week will become more livable as it goes along.

Not sure about the next three days beyond they’re going to be hot. Rainy? Well, several websites are indicating a chance of rain, but the one I like (mainly because I like hot and dry) isn’t saying much about rain. So it’s a wait and see thing beyond the heat which seems to be a given.

It’s a very pleasant morning. Some clouds, but plenty of sunshine. Tomorrow is looking good but Sunday through Tuesday appear to be bringing us some rain.  Warm temperatures ahead but nothing drastic. We are in the midst of Michigan’s very livable summer. We’re so lucky not to be faced with hurricanes, dangerous heat, etc. We usually get a nice variety that manages to stay out of the harsh ranges so many other states have to deal with.
