A Real Spring-Like Day Ahead For Mid Michigan

A Real Spring-Like Day Ahead For Mid Michigan

Today is expected to be our warmest yet this year, with temperatures reaching near 60°.  This morning is bright and sunny making it easier to get up one hour early due to DST.  It will take me a good week to adjust and I really wish that they would stop this nonsense with changing the time.  I like standard time myself, but I just wish they would leave it on one or the other.  We brought out some of our…

Rain And Snow For Our Friday – Mid Michigan

Rain And Snow For Our Friday – Mid Michigan

We woke to half an inch of snow this morning.  It began as rain and there was a total of 0.15″ in my gauge at 8:30 AM.  Much of it has already melted and temperatures will remain in the mid 30s today.  This is just a one day event because it is expected to be significantly warmer the next two days.  In fact, we could see 60° on Sunday.    This is typical for March in Michigan.  We can have winter…

Sunny But Chilly This Morning – Mid Michigan

Sunny But Chilly This Morning – Mid Michigan

Our morning is beginning with sun and breezy.  We could see some rain or snow later on but not much as far as accumulations are expected.  This has been a dry period for us which is unusual for this time of year.  I can’t help but wonder if this summer will be very dry with the precip amounts below average from what we usually have.    Our last 2-3 years have been so wet, especially last year.  Michigan could benefit from…

A Cloudy, Cooler Wednesday In Mid Michigan

A Cloudy, Cooler Wednesday In Mid Michigan

Today will be a little cooler than the past several days, but highs will remain above average.  This entire winter season has been like this and snow amounts are definitely at a deficit, at least here in the southern half of the state.  The upper peninsula continues to have up to 2 feet in some places, so anyone wanting to participate in winter sports should go there.  Northern lower Michigan still has enough for snowmobiling and skiing also. Our 11:45…

Above Normal Temperatures Continue In Mid Michigan

Above Normal Temperatures Continue In Mid Michigan

After a very warm Monday with plenty of sun, today won’t be quite as nice.  Temperatures will be slightly cooler and we probably won’t see as much sunshine.  Conditions will still be better than normal so we can’t complain.  The Nashville, TN area was hit by deadly tornadoes early this morning and my prayers go out for all of those affected.   We have a little filtered sunlight this morning with mostly cloudy skies.  We had a slight chance for rain…

A Long-Term Warmup For Mid Michigan

Temperatures made it into the upper 40s yesterday and that got rid of most of our snow.  This weather is expected to continue all week and most of us are loving it.  There isn’t really any rain in the forecast anytime soon so it looks to be a very nice week, weather wise. Our 10:45 AM temperature is 41°F (5°C). the humidity is 79%, and skies are partly to mostly cloudy.  Winds are from the NW at 3-9 mph, and…

March Is Coming In Like A Lamb – Mid Michigan

March Is Coming In Like A Lamb – Mid Michigan

Today is the first day of spring meteorlogically speaking, and it will certainly feel that way.  Highs will be in the upper 40s and we should see quite a bit of sun according to the forecast.  This upcoming week will be quite warm with temps even close to the 60 degree mark on Thursday.  Of course, we know how quickly that can change.  We have an average of 1.5 inches of snow pack with about 75% snow cover this morning. …
