Still a bit humid this morning with some fog around. Temp is currently 66° at 7am. We had .44 of an inch of rain yesterday half of it coming from a pulse storm which popped up.
There is a small chance of a shower or storm today mainly west of 131, however the air will start drying out and rain chances will decrease as we reach the night time hours.
We are entering an extended period of dry weather which will last into early next week.
To the left is the CPC outlook for August 6th to the 12th for SW Michigan – this would put us slightly below normal for the period temperature wise with equal chances of above/below/normal rainfall.
There are two tropical disturbances in the Atlantic which have a 10 to 20% chance of turning into a tropical depression or hurricane over the next week.
In the Eastern North Pacific we have Hurricane Erick whose path will pass south of the Hawaiian islands and tropical storm Flossie southeast of Erick.
I guess I will have to dig up some more educational materials to fill in some space on this blog with the quiet pattern we are entering….

Slim, where do we currently stand for the Summer season with regards to temperature departure from average? As in from June 21 through now? Or are records only kept for Met Summer? I’m guessing from the 21st we are above, and prob from June 1 as well?
OK here is what I came up with. From June 21st until July 29th Grand Rapids has had an average High of 84.9° and a average low of 64.7° that would give GR a mean of around 74.8° and that is above average. From June 1st to July 29th the average high would be 81.1 and the average low would be 61.2 giving GR a mean of around 71.2 so yes this summer at this point is running above average.

Thanks Slim. Where do you look these stats up, or plug the data in? Is it a pay site?
We’ve only had 8 below average days the entire month.
Today will be 9 tommorow will be 10 and Thursday will be 11 who needs the heat …INDY
Thursday would be August, and last nights low of 68 was actually +6 above average. Check your stats.

Sorry don’t live in the city of GR no way near the airport kind of berry only getting only 3 inches of snow last winter in Zeeland at his house remember?? Again 64* cool degrees was the low out at thee YARDofBRICKS NE of GR! …I guess I should put the word of in now lol! INDY ..
Well I don’t live at the airport either, but it’s the only official temps that count. Average lows are around 62, so you were still above average. We had a low of 67, but it doesn’t go in the record books anywhere. We’ve also had 10 90 degree days, but just like your house it doesn’t count. As for snow fall, yes, we were below normal towards the lakeshore in our area. And unlike you, I back it up with pics and hard evidence, not mindless ramblings.
Hmmm
64* degrees out at thee YARDofBRICKS NE GR nother nice cool morning keep them coming love it..Great day to take a ride north! INDY
