A Wet First Day Of Spring In Mid Michigan

A Wet First Day Of Spring In Mid Michigan

Our morning is very mild although temperatures will be falling throughout the day.  The high reached 60° right after midnight, and has been dropping since then.  We have some very cold air coming for the weekend and it will feel more like January tomorrow.  Winds will be very strong today and we could see gusts in the 30 mph range. Yesterday wasn’t a bad day with temperatures in the low 50s most of the day.  But, as usual, the winds…

Some Stormy Weather Heading Our Way – Mid Michigan

Some Stormy Weather Heading Our Way – Mid Michigan

Our official first day of spring is beginning with some light fog and cloudy skies.  We received a small amount of rain overnight with a lot more on the way.  We could see our first thunderstorms today and tomorrow and I always welcome that.  It seems that everything really comes to life after a thunderstorm.  The buds come out of the trees and the grass greens up substantially.  The rain isn’t supposed to get here until late this afternoon and…

The Last Day Of Winter In Mid Michigan

The Last Day Of Winter In Mid Michigan

Most days this past winter season have seen above average temperatures, and this seems to be continuing as spring approaches.  We have seen quite a few sunny days which is a bit unusual for February and March in Michigan.  I am hoping that it continues into the next few months since we had almost no summer last year.  It would be nice to have some normal weather for awhile.  Any snow that we got was gone within a few days,…

A Mild St Patrick’s Day In Michigan

A Mild St Patrick’s Day In Michigan

St. Patrick’s Day should be quite pleasant here in mid Michigan.  Our morning is starting out a bit damp but it should clear up later in the day.  Highs should reach the upper 40s.  Unfortunately, with this Corona virus going around, there won’t be much celebrating, at least not in public.  We received 0.03″ of rain overnight and I doubt that we will get anymore today. Our 9:15 AM temp is 38°F (3°C), the humidity is 87%, and skies are…

Filtered Sun And Very Chilly For Our Monday – Mid Michigan

Filtered Sun And Very Chilly For Our Monday – Mid Michigan

Yesterday was a bright, beautiful day but a bit on the chilly side.  Winds weren’t too strong so it was quite nice to be outdoors.  Skies were clear all day and the sun is really starting to feel warm.  My furnace didn’t run all afternoon and that’s always nice.  This morning was really cold when I got up and the temperature has gone up a little since then.  We aren’t expecting many warm days this week but I’m seeing one…

Another Cloudy Day In Mid Michigan

Our morning is starting out with cloudy skies and freezing temperatures.  This is expected to be our coldest day but at least we aren’t expecting any frozen precipitation.  We could see a little sun later and the strong winds of yesterday have subsided.

Windy But Sunny For Our Friday The 13th – Mid Michigan

Windy But Sunny For Our Friday The 13th – Mid Michigan

Winds are very strong this morning but skies are partly cloudy.  Highs are expected to reach the upper 40s but the wind will make it feel much colder.  We received a hint of rain overnight, only 0.01″ in my gauge.  i’m happy that we didn’g get anymore since our lawn is still wet and spongy.  In fact, we have spots that remained wet all last year.  Hopefully, this upcoming spring and summer season will be dryer. Our 8:45 AM temperature…

Another Cloudy But Mild Morning – Mid Michigan

Another Cloudy But Mild Morning – Mid Michigan

There isn’t really much to say about today’s weather except it is just more of the same.  We received a trace of rain overnight, and cloudy skies continue.  Yesterday was quite mild, but today will be even warmer with highs in the 50s expected once again.  We could see a little sun later on.  In face, it’s trying to peek out now. Our 10:30 AM temperature is 42°F (6°C), the humidity is 83%, and winds are from the SW at…

Warm, Cloudy, And Rainy For Our Tuesday – Mid Michigan

We received 0.31″ of rain overnight and radar is showing that it has moved out of our area.  We could see some sun this afternoon and our temperatures will remain on the mild side.  Yesterday’s high got into the low 60s once again but strong winds made it feel much cooler.  They always say that March is the windy month and that has proven true lately.  Although much cooler weather is on the way, highs will continue to be above…

Very Warm Temperatues Outdone By Strong Winds – Mid Michigan

Very Warm Temperatues Outdone By Strong Winds – Mid Michigan

Yesterday was a beautiful day but strong winds took the joy of it away.  We sat out for a bit, somewhere out of the wind and it was quite nice.  Skies were completely clear all day and our furnace didn’t run all afternoon.  Today is still seeing temps in the upper 50s, but it is still windy and now clouds are moving in.  Rain is in the forecast for tonight and we could see a substantial amount.  With that will…
