A cool, dewy 47 this morning. Temp should top out just over 80 today which will be the first 80 degree day here since July 4th. Coldest spot in the yoop: Baraga 7NW- 29

Received just under an inch and a half today, even some pea size hail... 4.2" for the month.

Doesn't happen often, and usually short lived.

Shoreline all the way up through Wis is poppin. 73, a tad humid here. Showers/storms starting to develop west over in Baraga County... garden could use a drink.

I'm crossing my fingers for a warm August. I need the heat to push my garden over the finish line. Terrible grow season this year.

47 for the low here this morning with some patchy fog earlier. This is the 7th night in July with low temps in the 40's. Decent rain chances this afternoon/evening.

Will be a cool and breezy day here with some afternoon showers again. High only in the low to mid 60's. An early taste of Fall for the north woods the next few days.

Smoke has mostly cleared up this way. Nice day on tap with a high forecast of 70 and a decent shot at some thundershowers later in the day.

You'll really be disappointed with my yard. I mow just once in late Aug or early Sept.

Sadly, have only seen one honeybee all Summer. Mostly just bumblebees, and even they are oddly small in size. Of course there's a plethora of wasps and hornets, as usual. Got stung on my hand last week. Do notice a ton of caterpillars this year.

Mosquitos and bugs in general have peaked and on a downward trend. August is my favorite month of Summer.

It's not just the snowpack, since June 1st MQT has received 5.34" of rain. It did get dry for a week or so in early June but otherwise ground is nice and damp and everything green and lush.

A cool 46 this morning after hvy rainfall and storms. Sunset 7-10-23, Hwy 41 west in Negaunee

73 for the high today with showers and storms currently pushing through the area. Looks like near to slightly below average temps with off/on rain chances the next week or so. No complaints.

Tad chilly here this morning with a low of 43. Plenty of 30's reported in the interior with the coolest being 32 at Stonington.

Even tho where I live is tucked outta the way and not impacted too much by the influx... I still, strongly dislike the tourists!

Looks like a decent stretch of weather here the next week with minimal rain, lots of sun and temps in the 70's. Have had 4.23" of rain this month which is around an inch above normal for this area. Most of the UP has avoided any serious dryness with the exception of the far western part.

Not to go OT but It's been 8 years since I've had a television and a provider. It was the best decision I ever made.

Locally, the smoke isn't near as bad today as the past couple days. I can see haze in the sky but at the surface I don't smell anything. The E UP, however, looks horrible currently.

Don't have a television. But I'm not surprised they're pulling something outta their ass.

Found this.... prob explains it. Here's why you smell plastic from a forest fire: "Wood fires emit a ton of volitile organic compounds (voc) Most of these VOCs are noticeable to our noses as the familiar "campfire" smell, but they breakdown quickly when exposed to UV radiation from sunlight. Other VOCs like benzene, formaldehyde and acrolein are released and they outlast the "campfire" VOCs. It's these chemical compounds that you're smelling as the smoke wafts around for a few days then settles to the ground and reaches your nose. Thus the plastic chemical smell."

The air has a very odd burnt electric/plastic smell. Have never smelled anything like this before with wildfire smoke.

Breezy, smokey, and 52 here at noon. A two day rain total of 1.68" brings the monthly total to 3.25". Woods are lush and green.

High of 79 today before rain developed and spread across the area couple hours ago. So far .83 and counting. Plenty of rain chances the next couple days with cooler, more seasonable like temps. Can't believe it's almost July.

Nice. What area did you visit? Too bad streams and rivers are entering their seasonal lows, especially with the dry stretch. Come back in early Autumn.
