August 19, 2017 in Mid Michigan

Yesterday began with light showers, then became mostly sunny by sunset.  We only received 0.02″ of new rainfall, just enough to get the grass growing again.  Today will be mostly cloudy with a chance of more rain.  We are heading to the Detroit area this afternoon to spend a day with the kids, so I’m hoping that it isn’t too wet of a day. Our 8:45 AM temp is 64°F (17°C), the humidity is 85%, and winds are from the…

Cloudy and September-Like in Mid Michigan 8/18/17

Cloudy and September-Like in Mid Michigan 8/18/17

After a rather stormy Thursday here in Michigan, today is chilly and windy.  There were a few tornadoes spotted in the thumb area with some damage reported, but our weather here remained quite tame.  We had a few good downpours, but other than that, nothing even close to severe.  We received about 1/4 inch by the time the rain ended.  This has been a strange summer, weather-wise, and it will be interesting to see what September will be like.  Our…

8/14/17: Partly Cloudy and Mild in Mid Michigan

We have a lovely morning with very mild temps and plenty of sun.  It should be a mostly dry day with the possibility of  rain later.  I love the cool temperatures that we’ve been having at night and it seems so good to turn off the AC and open the windows.  This has been a very rainy summer for us, but because of it, everyone’s gardens are doing great.  I haven’t had to water mine nearly as much as I…

Clear and Sunny in Mid Michigan

What a beautiful morning that we have.  I’m glad that I’m not working today and will definitely get out on my bike.  This summer is passing so quickly that I don’t feel that I’ve done nearly the things that I planned on doing.  Soon  fall will be hear, and then the winter holidays again.  Such is life I guess, but I will certainly enjoy today and the great weather that we have. Our 9:30 AM temp is 63°F, the humidity…

Storms Came In Clusters on Thursday – Mid Michgian

Clusters of thunderstorms formed over most of the state all day yesterday, dumping large amounts of water in very short times.  We were fortunate that they waited until we got home.  Our first storm happened about 6 PM when we received 0.35″ in 15 minutes.  After that, we got occasional sprinkles but nothing heavy.  Overnight, another line of thunderstorms  came our way but only gave us another 0.10″  It died out shortly after passing us.  Many areas received over an…
