We arrived here on Thursday and the temperatures have been very cold for this time of year. Today is actually the first that we can go outdoors comfortably without a jacket. At least the past few days have been sunny, so today we traded the sun for clouds but warmer temperatures. There was a chance for a little rain overnight and this morning but it didn’t happen. Most of the campers left today and I sure don’t envy them the…
Our morning was very wet and we received some much needed rain overnight. Our total was 0.41″ in addition to what we received yesterday. I’m sure that the farmers are very happy. The rain ended by late morning and the skies have cleared up nicely since then. We are expecting some very chilly weather over the weekend but the temperatures should rebound by Memorial Day. We are heading for the campground tomorrow and I doubt that I’ll be posting a…
Today will be the warmest day that we will have for a while. Highs should reach the mid to upper 80s with rain in the forecast for tonight. That should cool us off for the next several days. But we’re expecting a drastic cool down for the weekend with highs only in the 50s and 60s. We received quarter of an inch of rain yesterday and I’m hoping for more tonight. We are heading for the campground on Thursday and…
We finally received rain yesterday afternoon, and it continues into this morning. It wasn’t nearly as much as we hoped for but any is better than nothing. I’m seeing that rain is in our forecast for the next several days and that’s a good thing. Yesterday was very warm early, then the temperatures dropped 10 degrees in about half an hour. We only received 0.15″ but we just had another shower which gave us an additional 0.09″ and it is…
Our temperatures aren’t quite as warm today and there is a pretty strong breeze, so it hasn’t felt as hot as the past two days. This morning was cloudy and we received about 0.03″ of rain overnight. It wasn’t enough to really matter and I’m hoping that we get more tomorrow. Current radar isn’t showing any precipitation in southern lower Michigan at this time. Our 3:15 PM temperature is 85°F (29°C), the humidity is 50% and winds are from the…
We need some rain badly. Farmers are getting their fields planted, and it is so dry that they are leaving clouds of dust behind their tractors as they work. We have a chance of rain tonight and Sunday, and I’m hoping that it happens. Today is hot with a moderate breeze. That’s the only thing that makes it bearable. Also the humidity isn’t really too bad. Our high today could reach 90F which is about 20 degrees above average. This…
I’m usually melting when temps get over 80F, but today is actually quite comfortable. It’s probably because the humidity is so low. We had clouds most of the day and that makes it feel cooler. Now the sun is peeking out. We received a letter from our power company that they will be charging more for electricity that we use during the day. So we have tried to think of a system where the AC won’t be running constantly. We…
Our weather has taken a turn for very warm. Summer-like temperatures will be upon us into the near future. Predictions are for unseasonably hot weather for the upcoming week and into the holiday weekend. We’ll be going up to the campground next week, so that’s a very welcome forecast. Fortunately, with the heat comes a very slight chance of rain which is badly needed. No great amounts are expected however. Our 9:45 AM temp is 68F (20C), the humidity is…
We have a thin layer of clouds this morning but not enough to hide the sun. Today should be wonderful weather-wise with temps reaching a comfortable level in the mid 70s. Winds aren’t expected to be strong so it will be great for getting out and about. There is no rain in the forecast until Wednesday and we really could use some. Our 9:15 AM temp is 66°F (19°C), the humidity is 57%, and winds are from the SE at…
After a beautiful Saturday, our Sunday is a bit cooler with a little rain. The showers are supposed to be done by this afternoon and radar is still showing some small pockets of light rain scattered about. Highs probably won’t even reach 70 today, but if the sun comes out later, it will still be a nice day. We really do need the rain and I wish we would get more than a few sprinkles. Our 12 noon temperature is…
