Finally, An End To This Heat In Sight – Mid Michigan
Today should be the last of this oppressive weather. A cold front will move through with more storms expected, then some decent weather will be a welcome relief. We should see highs only in the 70s for the remainder of the week. This has been an unusually stormy early September for Michigan. I hope that it is over for the remainder of our autumn season.
Right now (11 AM), our temp is 84°F (29°C), the humidity is 66%, and skies are mostly clear. Winds are from the southwest at 10 mph, gusting to 16 mph.
