Severe weather a Possibility In Michigan Today

Severe weather a Possibility In Michigan Today

The Weather Service is already warning us that this could be a very stormy day.  There are already storms moving into the state from the southwest and some watches have been issued.  They are saying that there is a low risk for severe weather up here where we are, but I think that the southern half of the state will be more prone to be hit.  Hopefully there won’t be a lot of damage. Our 9:30 AM temp is 64°F…

A Dreary, Wet Saturday in Northern Michigan

A Dreary, Wet Saturday in Northern Michigan

Yesterday was gorgeous until the late evening when rain moved in from the southwest.  We didn’t get any here at camp until about 9:30 PM, then overnight.  I’m not sure how much but I’m guessing about 0.10″.  Skies should clear later on and highs should reach the upper 70s  We could still see a few showers yet this morning. Our 9:15 AM temperature is 68°F, the humidity is 90%, and winds are from the SSW at 2 mph.  Skies are…

Very Chilly In Northern Michigan

Very Chilly In Northern Michigan

Our drive up to camp was quite wet as we ran into off and on showers all the way up.  By the time we reached Indian River, it was dry.  At least we didn’t have to set up in the rain.  This morning, however, is very chilly with the temperature at only 43°F at 7 AM.  There was a fog advisory out early but I didn’t see any, and now the sun is shining with mostly clear skies.  I think…

I Can’t Believe That All The Rain Missed Us – Mid Michigan

I Can’t Believe That All The Rain Missed Us – Mid Michigan

We were supposed to get a good rain last night, and as usual, we didn’t get a drop.  It all “trained” through the southern part of the state and we remain high and dry.  Some areas near Detroit got up to 4 inches and I’m sure that there is some flooding.  Who said that computers are always accurate? Our 10 AM temp is 72°F (22°C), the humidity is 67%, and winds are from the east at 7 mph.  The dew…

A Chance For Some Much Needed Rain Tonight – Mid Michigan

A Chance For Some Much Needed Rain Tonight – Mid Michigan

We have significant rain in our forecast for later today and tonight.  I hope it happens.  We haven’t had a good rain in about a month with every storm just missing us.  This forecast seems quite hopeful though.  Today will bring highs in the 80s, then a cool-down for the remainder of the week.  That sounds good to me. Our 10:15 AM temperature is 78°F (26°C), the humidity is 61%, and winds are from the WSW at 5 mph.  The…

Sunny And Very Warm In Michigan

Sunny And Very Warm In Michigan

We have a couple of very warm days to deal with before the next cold front moves in.  Highs today are expected to reach the low to  mid 80s once again, but then cooler air will come for the week’s end.  Rain has been scarce for us lately but we could see some over the next few days.  The lawns are all turning brown and I’m getting tires of having to water everything every night.  But the good thing is…

Another Almost Perfect Day For Mid Michigan

Another Almost Perfect Day For Mid Michigan

I can’t say enough about our weather lately.  It’s been gorgeous.  We didn’t have to turn on the AC at all yesterday as there was a nice breeze all day and temps in the upper 70s.  Oh, how I wish this could last for the next several months.  We deserve it after the spring that we had. Our 9:45 AM temperature is 67°F (19°C), the humidity is 62% and winds are calm.  The pressure is 30.03 in (1016.9 mb) and…

Cooler Weather In Our Forecast – Mid Michigan

Cooler Weather In Our Forecast – Mid Michigan

  It seem that our weather has suddenly gone from summer to almost autumn.  We had one month of real summer weather and now it feels like fall is in the air.  The days are getting shorter and some schools are already starting classes.  We did get a little rain yesterday morning and we could use more, but our next chance for rain isn’t until Monday.  I’m not complaining because our weather has been gorgeous.  I’m just hoping that fall…

Sunny, Warm But No Rain – Mid Michigan

Sunny, Warm But No Rain – Mid Michigan

It seems like everyone but us got some rain yesterday, even though it wasn’t very much.  Our lawn is brown and nothing is growing but the weeds.  It does seem good that it’s staying short for awhile.  Our next real chance for rain isn’t until tomorrow night, and with our luck, that will miss us too. Right now (10:15 AM) our temperature is 73°F (23°C), the humidity is 77%, and the dew point is 65°F (18°C).  Winds are from the…

Last Night’s Storms Totally Missed Us – Mid Michigan

Last Night’s Storms Totally Missed Us – Mid Michigan

Looking at the radar last night, I was certain that everything would be wet this morning.  It didn’t happen.  It managed to fall apart just before reaching my area.  I’m seeing rain right now approaching but it doesn’t appear to be much.  We really do need a good soaking, especially for the farmers.  It was bad enough that they had to plant late, but now aren’t getting any much needed rain.  It’s hard to believe that summer is almost over…
