Thursday, July 11, 2024-SW Michigan-Could Get Rain Later

Currently 70 with a  calm wind from the N. Feels like 70 degrees. Dew Point 65, Barometer 30.08, Humidity 96%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:14 am, Sunset 9:21 pm.

Areas of dense morning fog. Mostly sunny until midday becoming partly sunny with a 40% chance of showers with a slight chance for a thunderstorm. high in the lower 80s. Light winds.

Partly cloudy with a 20% chance of overnight showers and thunderstorms. Low in the lower 60s. Light winds.

That visibility of 10 miles is debatable as some areas are involved in extremely dense fog. This will burn off quickly, but those trying to cope with it need to be cautious. Looks like a rainy day tomorrow but so far, the weekend seems to be offering sunny days. Perhaps some rain during the nighttime hours, which wouldn’t be all that bad. Long as the rain plays by the rules and only falls in the dark. Could be some very warm days coming up this weekend and on through perhaps Tuesday. Could find ourselves in 90 degrees again. This we’ll have to keep an eye on. But the possibility is there.

Wednesday, July 10, 2024-SW Michigan-Rainy Remnants Of Beryl

This was from early this morning before the Internet went down. Back up gain, so here goes:

Currently 68 with an average wind from the N of 13 mph. Feels like 70 degrees. Dew Point 65, Barometer 29.77, Humidity 96%, Visibility 7 mi., Sunrise 6:13 am, Sunset 9;21 pm.

This is actually shreds of what once was Hurricane Beryl giving us all this precipitation.  Seems as if clear days will be ours once this rolls along to it’s next destination.  So far the weekend is looking good. Let’s hope that continues to be the case.

All the was from the Caribbean to us is a mighty long run with plenty of damage along the way.  Look for some sunny days once this clears out – and as of now, this weekend should be fine. Things can change but for now it’s clear sailing ahead which should help dry things out nicely.

Mostly sunny with a high in the lower 80s. Light winds becoming SW 5-10 mph in the afternoon.

Party cloudy with a 20% chance of overnight showers. Low in the mid 60s. S winds around 10 mph.

So yesterday didn’t quite live up to expectations until afternoon, but then it did manage to step up. Today is exactly as  predicted.  It’s a marvelous, sunny, calm day. Look for some rain to put in an appearance Monday through Wednesday. After that more sunshine. Sounds fair. A half and half week.

Saturday, July 6, 2024-SW Michigan-Cloudier Than Expected

Currently 68 with an average wind from the WNW of 10 mph. Feels like 68 degrees. Dew Point 63, Barometer 29.89, Humidity 90%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:10 am, Sunset 9:23 pm.

Partly sunny becoming mostly sunny. There is a 20% chance of showers and thunderstorms. High in the mid 70s. W winds 5-10 mph with gusts to 20.

Partly cloudy overnight. Low in the upper 50s. Light winds.

Okay, so today hasn’t quite lived up to expectations. The entire weekend was supposed to be sunny and warm. Those clouds out there would leave that forecast in doubt. No rain so far, but the slight chance is hanging around for the day. Tomorrow is still looking fine. I reckon we’ll see, but thus far, that’s the hope. Look for the chance for some rain on Monday and Tuesday but clear days to follow.

Currently 72 with a calm wind from the N. Feels like 72 degrees. Dew Point 66, Barometer 29.82, Humidity 79%, Visibility 7 mi., Sunrise 6;10 am, Sunset 9:24 pm.

A mix of sun and clouds today with a 60% chance of rain and thunderstorms. There is a slight risk for severe weather today. High around 80. S winds around 10 mph becoming W with gusts to 20 in the afternoon.

Partly cloudy with a 30% chance of showers and thunderstorms. Patchy overnight fog. Low in the lower 60s. W winds around 10 mph.

So far it’s not a bad little morning. That could change as the day progresses. Seems as if rain with possible thunderstorms could be part of our afternoon picture. Still looking at a fine, dry weekend with rain coming our way on the beginning of the week. Don’t know about your area, but there were few fireworks this year. Nothing local. I could hear some, occasionally, off in the distance. Not sure of why but the fact that costs of everything are out of sight right now, perhaps it was a matter of not being able to afford it this time around. Wouldn’t be surprised.

Not a bad day of holiday weather for us. At least we’re not facing the deadly record breaking heat that California and Oregon is dealing with today. We’ll be warm but not unbearable. Look for a rainy Friday, then again the beginning of the week. So far, the weekend is still looking grand and dry.

Very close feel to the morning. Feels like it could and probably should rain. Whether it will or not remains to be seen. Seems as if we can look for a sunny day for our July 4th. Might be a hot one, but bright. Some rain coming in for Friday and as of right now, the entire weekend is looking dry. Should be a dandy.

Very probably going to see rain today, tonight and tomorrow. Clear on Thursday and Saturday. Looks like alternate days, rain and none coming our way. Interesting and who knows if that’s what we’ll really get? Our weather pattern has a tendency to change its mind frequently.
