Very July-Like in Mid Michigan

Very July-Like in Mid Michigan

For those wishing for hot weather, we finally got it!  Highs are expected to be in the mid to upper 80s all this week.  The chance for thunderstorms looms over us for the weekend but there is no break in the heat expected until early next week.  What makes it unbearable for me is that there is hardly any breeze.    I have said many times that I don’t like hot temperatures.  It takes all of my energy away. our 9:30…

Not A Very Nice Sunday Morning in Mid Michigan

Not A Very Nice Sunday Morning in Mid Michigan

  Today started out with a little sun, but it didn’t take long for the clouds to start rolling in.  I ran into a light shower on the way to church, but was pleasantly surprised that it wasn’t pouring when I got out.  When I got home, I noticed that there was 0.13″ in my gauge that wasn’t there early this morning.  Now we have light fog with drizzle.  I hope that this doesn’t last all day.  I guess we…

Comfortable, Wonderful Weather for our Saturday in Mid Michigan

Comfortable, Wonderful Weather for our Saturday in Mid Michigan

We couldn’t have asked for a lovelier Saturday.  The sun is bright, temps are in the mid 70s and there is a light breeze.  Perfect in my book.   What’s even better is that there is just a slight chance for rain later in the week and temps should remain at comfortable levels. Right now (11:30 AM EDT), our temp is 74.7°F (24°C) , the humidity is 57%, and winds are from the west at 6 mph.  Our heat index is…

Cloudy and Cooler in Mid Michigan

Cloudy and Cooler in Mid Michigan

After plenty of rain over the past two days, today should be a bit cooler and more comfortable.  Although we didn’t get any severe weather, there was flooding in some areas of the state, and we certainly don’t need anymore rain for awhile.  This has been a very wet year for us although the farmers are loving it.  Our temps should remain in the 70s today, so we can open the windows for a change.  That will seem good Our…

Stormy Weather Expected in Mid Michigan

Stormy Weather Expected in Mid Michigan

Last night brought thunderstorms, but they didn’t do much to cool us off.   The threat of severe weather looms over us today, so we’ll have to keep our eye to the sky this afternoon.   Hopefully, there won’t be much damage done.  Yesterday was very hot and muggy . . . . the type of day that you didn’t want to be outdoors too long.  I sat out for awhile with the dogs, but they didn’t want to stay out for…

A Very Wet Overnight in Mid Michigan

A Very Wet Overnight in Mid Michigan

For a change, my area got some much needed rain.  There was just under an inch in my gauge this morning and rain remains in the forecast for this afternoon.   Some areas had severe weather but we were lucky and just got the rain with a bit of noise.   Radar at this time is showing most of the storms to have moved off to our southwest and they are now centered over eastern Ohio and moving into Pennsylvania.  All of…

A Slight Warmup For Our Wednesday – Mid Michigan

A Slight Warmup For Our Wednesday – Mid Michigan

Yesterday was gorgeous and today should be just as nice.  I tried to go without the AC but broke down and turned it on late in the afternoon.  Today we should see highs in the mid 80s.  It’s hard to believe that it’s heading into mid summer already.  Time goes by too fast.  Radar is showing a little rain in the Detroit area and we could really use some here, but not in the forecast for a few days yet….

A Beautiful Independence Day in Mid Michigan

A Beautiful Independence Day in Mid Michigan

We couldn’t have lovelier weather for our July 4th holiday.  Temps will be very comfortable and clear skies all day.  It will be a quiet one for us since my kids aren’t able to be here this year.  That’s the problem when it falls in mid week.  But with a little luck, we’ll see fireworks which local people will be shooting off, as well as all the noise well into the night.  I love the 4th of July.  It’s my…

Once Again, All Rain Missed Us – Corunna, Michigan

Once Again, All Rain Missed Us – Corunna, Michigan

Many storms passed us by yesterday, but our temperatures were comfortable and there was a nice breeze.  We didn’t need the AC which is always nice.  I really prefer to have my windows open and listen to the sounds of the outdoors.  Our morning is cloudy but we should see the sun later.   Temperatures should be comfortable both today and tomorrow. Our 8:45 AM temp is 65.2°F (17°C), the humidity is 66% and skies are cloudy.  Winds are from the…
