Cloudy And Cooler In Mid Michigan

Cloudy And Cooler In Mid Michigan

Today will be a bit cooler than normal, and a few showers will hang around.  We aren’t expecting much rain and most of it missed us yesterday.  There was only 0.06″ in my gauge this morning.  It shouldn’t be too bad weather-wise so we’ll take it. Our 9:30 AM temp is 56°F (13°C), the humidity is 78%, and winds are from the SW at 2-6 mph.  Skies are cloudy.  The pressure is 29.55 in (1000.7 mb) and steady.  Visibility is…

Heavy Rain In The Forecast For The Next Few Day – Mid Michigan

Heavy Rain In The Forecast For The Next Few Day – Mid Michigan

After an absolutely wonderful day Tuesday, today is starting out very wet.  Highs rose into the mid 70s yesterday even though local weather gurus are showing our high to only be around 70°F.  I was sitting outdoors  with no coat and was actually hot, so I know that it was warmer than what they said.  My windows were open most of the day and it seemed good to air out the house.  Rain began late last night and there was…

A Beautiful April Morning In Mid Michigan

A Beautiful April Morning In Mid Michigan

We couldn’t ask for a nicer start to the day than what we have.  The sun is shining, the birds are singing in full chorus, and it is quite warm.  We do have rain in our forecast for later today, but we’ll just enjoy this wonderful morning while it lasts.  We had a little rain yesterday morning which measured only 0.04″ in my gauge. Our 9:30 AM temperature is 55°F (13°C), the humidity is 68%, and winds are from the…

A Bright, Beautiful Morning In Mid Michigan

A Bright, Beautiful Morning In Mid Michigan

Yesterday was lovely and today should be just as nice.  We took a drive out to Sleepy Hollow state park in Laingsburg, and couldn’t believe how many people were out there.  The parking lots had more cars that we usually see in mid summer, and even the beach area was very active.  The governor’s stay at home order isn’t working out too well.  They keep giving us numbers of new cases of the virus, and the number of deaths, but…

A Lovely Spring Day Expected In Mid Michigan

A Lovely Spring Day Expected In Mid Michigan

Today looks to be quite nice with no rain in the forecast and highs near normal.  The wind will be a bit brisk but that’s okay.  We should see quite a bit of sun and that is always nice.  I think we’ll take a ride out to the park today and enjoy the outdoors for a change.  Our governor has released us from house arrest.  In the midst of pending lawsuits, she finally gave in. Our 9:45 AM temp is…

A Little Sun This Morning In Mid Michigan

A Little Sun This Morning In Mid Michigan

Today is supposed to be cloudy but our morning is very sunny so far.  Highs should reach near the normal mark and it should be a decent day, even if we don’t see much sun.  There is no rain in the forecast until early next week, and the farmers are busy getting the fields ready for planting.   The trees are starting to show some green and my daffodils are in full bloom.  I love this time of year. Our 9:30…

Cloudy But Milder in Mid Michigan

Cloudy But Milder in Mid Michigan

It seems good to have a mild morning for a change.  We received 0.27″ of rain yesterday and that seems to be over for a few days.  The weekend isn’t looking too bad and our highs should reach closer to normal in the extended forecast.  It’s about time! Our 9:30 AM temperature is 41°F (5°C), the humidity is 92%, and skies are overcast.  Winds are from the NW at 1-5 mph and the dew point is 39°F (4°C).  The pressure…

Yesterday was dry for the most part, but then snow showers began in the late afternoon and the snow accumulation was about 0.2″.   Late last night, it warmed a bit and the snow changed to rain.  Now there is no sign of snow.  We will see our temperatures begin to moderate a bit today, and we should see highs closer to normal over he next week.  We received 0.22″ of precipitation total yesterday. Our 9AM temperature is 37°F (3°C), the…

Another Cold Day In Mid Michigan

Another Cold Day In Mid Michigan

We should be seeing highs in the 60s this time of year and Mother Nature is giving us only 40s.  What’s worse is that this is expected to continue through the weekend.  We were having nicer weather in March.  Yesterday brought intermittent snow showers which didn’t accumulate, but who wants to look outdoors and see snow falling the end of April?  I sure don’t. Our 10:15 AM temperature is 39°F (4°C), the humidity is 41% and winds are from the…

March Weather Has Returned To Michigan

March Weather Has Returned To Michigan

We woke to about half an inch of graupel this morning.  Rain moved in about 11 PM last night leaving 0.13″ in my gauge.  Temperatures fell, winds picked up and the rain changed to frozen precip.  That will be the order of the day I’m afraid.  At least we have a little sun this morning but that won’t do much to warm in up.  Highs are only expected to reach near 40°. Our 9:15 AM temp is 36°F (2°C), the…
