Where's The Hail?

A few popup thunderstorms kept things interesting this week! Intense lightning and strong winds don’t exactly make for a relaxing afternoon. But why should we let the Midwest have all the severe weather while we are left with drizzle and some ponding on roadways? I’m still holding out for a real badass thunderstorm complete with hail. Only then will it truly be summertime.

We’ll pick up more rain showers and a few scattered thunderstorms across the state today as a quick upper level disturbance blasts through the Great Lakes region. Although the main cluster of storms should stay well to our north, we’ll still see some breezy conditions with the pressure gradient, some needed precipitation and a few odd thunderclaps. Look for highs today to reach the mid to upper 80s.

That weather should depart early Friday morning. That will set the stage for another weekend of sunny & calm conditions with temperatures touching the low 90s. With mint conditions on deck for Friday, Saturday and Sunday my job will mostly involve rubbing sunscreen on the backs of pretty ladies for the better part of the weekend! We may see a few isolated showers and storms Sunday afternoon and evening. But hey, by then we’re just sitting around waiting for the workweek to start over again. Speaking of work…Looks like more rain is on tap for Monday of next week, so enjoy the weekend!
