So-nothing but sunshine in our forecast for the coming week. No rain. Of course even when there is rain in view for us we rarely get it. Not in my backyard anyway. Pleasant days ahead with temperatures getting back up to the 80 degree range. Perfect September weather.

Currently 74 with an average wind from the SW of 3 mph. Feels like 75 degrees. Dew Point 68, Barometer 29.78, Humidity 86%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:22 am, Sunset 7:56 pm.

So – the crazy thunder from a storm raging way overhead one day and yesterday a storm that came in making daylight vanish and turn into midnight dark. Black as pitch outside my window before that rain started. Didn’t take long to lighten up, but while the darkness was with us – it was dark! Once again, I didn’t get a whole lot of rain here, about a half an inch, but the way the storm came in made it another unusual one. I’m hoping that if we do get rain today there is nothing  harsh or remarkable about it.

Once we get past today the weather clears up and heats up. By Sunday we could be in the upper 80s, just like summer again. It won’t last but we’re set to get there, as of right now. Who knows by the time the weekend comes around, but that’s the story for now.

Currently 62 with an average wind from the E of 5 mph. Feels like 62 degrees. Dew Point 60, Barometer 30.1, Humidity 93%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:21 am, Sunset 7:57 pm.

Cloudy with a 30% chance of an isolated thunderstorm popping up. High 71 degrees. E wind 5 -10 mph.

Cloudy with that same 30% chance of overnight isolated thunderstorms. Low 63. ESE winds 5 – 10 mph.

Maybe some rain today, tomorrow sounds like a better chance with higher temperatures. After that, it looks as if sunny days will be back with us for the week.

Still seeking answers regarding that storm that hit SW Michigan about 5:00 yesterday afternoon. That bizarre sound, like continuous, never-ending rolling thunder way, way up high…like a separate storm was raging very high overhead. We did get some rain – I measured .55″ in my gauge this morning – and the occasional crash of regular sounding thunder during that storm, but that noise. That eerie sound that never stopped for a second until it finally seemed to roll off to the north and east. Never heard anything like that before in my life.

Currently 76 with an average wind from the SW of 8 mph. Feels like 77 degrees. Dew Point 68, Barometer 29.94, Humidity 77%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:20 am, Sunset 7:59 pm.

Mostly cloudy with a 50% chance of scattered showers and/or thunderstorms today. High 77. SW winds 10-15 mph becoming NW in the afternoon.

40% chance of overnight showers and thunderstorms. Low 59. NE winds 5 -10 mph.

A cold front stretching clear from the Central Plains all the way over to the East Coast with strong winds aloft could trigger some severe weather today. At least some showers and thunderstorms. And that appears to include the lower part of Michigan. We certainly don’t need anything severe, but rain showers would be welcome – even if it is Sunday. In the meantime, I don’t know about you but it feels more humid today to me than it has lately. Windows all open waiting for some breezes that don’t seem interested in visiting. All I am doing, evidently, is letting in all the humidity. Oh well…all too soon the windows will be closed for months on end, so whatever is for now is.

Currently 70 with an average wind from the SE of 1 mph. Feels like 70 degrees. Dew Point 57, Barometer 29.94, Humidity 68%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:19 am, Sunset 8:01 pm.

Sunny to start with some clouds showing up later in the day. High 83. SW winds 10-20 mph.

Partly cloudy becoming cloudy with a slight chance of overnight rain showers and thunderstorms. Low 65. SW winds 10-15 mph.

Enjoy today because the mention of rain shows up in the next 4 days of forecasts. Not to say any of it will show up here, but the words are out there, hovering like either a promise if you’re hoping for some rain or a threat if you want clear sunny days.

Whatever our weather today, more than 3,000 victims – plus all of the ripples from impact deaths that were directly attributed to that terrorist attack – will not be here to experience it. Something bad, something evil, has infiltrated our nation working to erase the unity against terrorists, cloud and eradicate the cohesion of a country in defense of enemies. Personally, I believe that was the purpose of the dangerous Politically Correct Game that seemed to be introduced as a way to force folks to accept any and everything. Too many people, too many formerly patriotic people, have as a result accepted defeat from within – all beginning with the stomach-churning pain and horror of the 9/11 attack in New York. We need to shake off whatever is holding us down and rise up to remembering and unite again as a solid nation of people loyal to our country, to our flag, to each other. Nothing to do with the weather you say? Oh really…fragments, remainders, specs of the people incinerated on 9/11 are still swirling around in our atmosphere – raining down on us daily in infinitely minute traces. We just aren’t paying attention anymore.

Currently 61 with an average wind from the S of 1 mph. Feels like 61 degrees. Dew Point 54, Barometer 30.09, Humidity 77%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:18 am, Sunset 8:03 pm.

40% chance of some morning rain. Afternoon partly cloudy. High 77 degrees. SW winds 10-15 mph.

Partly cloudy with a low of 59. SSW winds 5 -10 mph.

The morning started out with a lot of blue sky, a few patchy clouds, but it’s clouded up fairly solid right now. Rain? Doubtful, but the opportunity is hanging around out there. Should be a good weekend with temperatures in the low 80s. One site mentioned a bit of rain on Sunday but most hold out for a pleasant weekend. Nights are getting chilly now, too chilly already for me by morning, but nothing I can do about it but start thinking Spring already. Which I do – every single year. Too much chilliness coming up until fine weather – more to my taste – comes back. Alas…..

Currently 56 with an average wind from the WNW of 1 mph. Feels like 56 degrees. Dew Point 54, Barometer 29.95, Humidity 85%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:17 am, Sunrise 8:05 pm.

Sunny morning could bring along a few afternoon clouds and a very slight chance of a rain shower. High 71. NW winds 10-15 mph.

Clear to partly cloudy. Low near 50. NNW winds 5 -10 mph.

A bright rather chilly morning will become a comfortable sunny day. For the most part. Maybe a passing cloud or two, but nice, none-the-less. Sounds like a handful of great days coming with a terrific weekend. Plenty of people will be out and about taking advantage of the time between too hot and what’s eventually coming, too cold. We are definitely heading into Fall.

Currently 66 with an average wind from the W of 4 mph. Feels like 66 degrees. Dew Point 56, Barometer 29.71, Humidity 74%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:16 am, Sunset 8:06 pm.

Lots of sunshine today with a high around 73 degrees. WNW winds 10-20 mph.

A few passing overnight clouds with a very small chance of a rain shower.s Low 52. NW winds 10-15 mph.

Nice weather is with us. This weekend could bring us a few clouds but temperatures perhaps around 80 degrees. Next week seems to hold out some hope for rain, but we all know how that goes around here. Even with the heavy weather that rolled through Michigan yesterday, I measured .20″ of rain in my gauge. Virtually nothing to speak of here. So keeping fingers crossed for rain next week seems to be a waste of useful things to do with out fingers. We’ll have to see, but I’m not making any bets on precipitation.

Currently 60 with an average wind from the SE of 4 mph. Feels like 60 degrees. Dew Point 56, Barometer 29.78, Humidity 74, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:14 am, Sunset 8:08 pm.

Partly cloudy to mostly cloudy with a 60% chance of rain and thunderstorms. Some storms may be severe. High around 80. SW winds 15-25 mph.

Partly cloudy overnight skies with a 24% chance of a stray shower or thunderstorm. Low 57. W winds 10-15 mph.

Hate to count on it, but there does seem to be a pretty good chance we might see some rain today. Perhaps even something a bit harsh later today – about the time everyone is driving home from work, actually. Things change. Especially things weather related so who know. Just be aware that the opportunity is out there as of now.

Currently 74 with an average wind from the SW of 6 mph. Feels like 73 degrees. Dew Point 50%, Barometer 29.92, Humidity 45%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 7:13 am, Sunset 8:10 pm

A mix of sun and clouds today with a high of 75. WNW winds 10-15 mph.

Clear overnight skies with a low of 52. SSW winds 5 -10 mph.

Today is a dandy. Nice temperature, low humidity. A perfect Labor Day. In fact, this has been an unusually nice 3 day holiday weekend. Something Michigan doesn’t always get. Enjoy today because by tomorrow afternoon we could be facing some thunderstorms. A chance of a few being severe.
