Our Friday Is Starting Out Cool in Mid Michigan

Our Friday Is Starting Out Cool in Mid Michigan

Yesterday was a perfect temperature with winds from the north all day.   Today will be about the same, but with the brisk north winds, it will feel a bit chilly.  There is more rain in our forecast for the weekend but it shouldn’t be a total washout.  The ground is quite saturated from the rain earlier this week so I’m hoping that we don’t get too much. Our 9 AM temp is 55°F (13°C), the humidity is 52% and winds…

This is a very wet, gloomy morning although the heaviest rain will miss my area.  Southern Michigan is under flood warnings with more heavy rain moving across the lower portions of the state.  We are just getting a few hit-and-miss showers here.  The leaves have really popped out over the last few days and it seems to good to see green again.  My husband just mowed the lawn three days ago and it already needs mowing.  We can expect light…
