Wednesday, Aug. 7, 2024-SW Michigan-Calm, Quiet Week

Currently 66 with an average wind from the ENE of 12 mph. Feels like 66 degrees. Dew Point 58, Humidity 73%, Barometer 30.06, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 6:40 am, Sunset 8:55 pm.

Sunny with a high in the upper 70s. E winds 5-10 mph with gusts to around 20.

Mostly clear with a low in the mid 50s. E winds 5-10 mph.

Nothing going on with our weather at all this week. Nothing extreme in the temperature area, no precipitation to expect. Vary quiet all the way around. A little on the cooler side that some would like for this time of the summer, but I suspect it will manage to warm up again sooner or later. In the meantime, this would be a good week to take advantage of any outdoor activities.

Feels like September out there to me. Likely not the only one – I haven’t seen the Hummingbird feed this heavy since before he left last year for the winter. It can warm up any time now and be fine. Looking at a dry week coming up once this system moves on with temperatures in the 70s for the most part. Not sure where that super hot summer predicted for us is hiding, but I’m not seeing it from here.

Plenty of clouds to day and perhaps some rain. Could get some tomorrow too. We’re going to stay in the high heat area through the weekend but we should see a week of 70 degree days coming up. Sounds downright comfortable doesn’t it? That wandering Jet Stream is going to dip a bit to the south and leave us out of the heat that’s melting the rest of the country. We will be grateful to see that happen.

A small chance of rain today but a good chance of high temperature. Could get close to 90 degrees today – again on Saturday. The temperatures will drop back down into something more comfortable next week. Still summer warm, but not seeing any 90s. Very likely some rain on Thursday and Friday but none showing up for the weekend. Good enough.

Our temperatures are going to rise until we get to this weekend. Saturday looks like it could reach 90 degrees. Sunday maybe not so much and next week is looking comfortable in the 70s.  Upper 70s and perhaps tipping into 80, but much less than what we could be getting this weekend.  Possible rain Wednesday – more possibility for Thursday and Friday. But the weekend, although hot, should be dry. At least we’re facing nothing drastic. Just summery weather.
