Starting Out To Be A Very Nice Thursday – Mid Michigan

Starting Out To Be A Very Nice Thursday – Mid Michigan

Although our temperatures aren’t where they should be, it still has been a very nice morning.  There was a frost but since nothing is planted yet, there was no harm done.  The early spring flowers, which are in bloom, don’t seem to mind the frost.  There isn’t any precipitation expected today, so it’s a good day to be out and about.  The next few days, as well as the weekend, should be much warmer, and hopefully, the spring weather will…

Feels More Like Winter Than Late April – Mid Michigan

Feels More Like Winter Than Late April – Mid Michigan

It is now 1:30 pm and our temperatures haven’t even made it into the 40s yet.  I don’t think that they are going to.  Highs today are expected to reach the low 40s, and if the sun comes out, it just may happen.  Regardless, it’s much too cold for April 27.  Last year on this date, the temp reached 78°F. Yesterday was also cold and windy, which made it feel even colder.  We had a few sprinkles but hardly enough…

A Cloudy, Damp Tuesday For Mid Michigan

A Cloudy, Damp Tuesday For Mid Michigan

Compared to the last few days, today is miserable.  It is cold, damp, and windy.  We have had a few periods of sprinkles but no significant rainfall today.  We had a little rain yesterday but the temps were much warmer.  We still have another day like this before we will have a warm-up.  The National Weather Service is predicting a cooler than normal May for our part of the country.  That will leave a lot of uncertainty as when to…

Much Cooler After Sunday’s Storms – Mid Michigan

Much Cooler After Sunday’s Storms – Mid Michigan

Yesterday was another very warm although windy day.  Storms didn’t arrive until the evening, and we did receive a lot of rain but nothing severe.  There was a total of 1.10″ in my gauge this morning.  Today feels more like late March once again.  The next two days are expected to only see highs in the 40s.  That’s much too chilly for this time of year.  We get these teaser days and then back to the cold.  It’s hard to…

A Summer-Like Day In Mid Michigan

A Summer-Like Day In Mid Michigan

Today’s weather was a real treat with highs reaching the low 80s.  We had sun all day with a few scattered clouds here and there.  Clouds are on the increase now with possible showers moving in late tomorrow.  We received o.41″ of rain overnight but some areas got well over an inch.  There are a lot of flooded fields around and the farmers are hoping for a dry spell to happen soon. This upcoming week will be cooler than normal…

A Beautiful Start To Our Friday – Mid Michigan

A Beautiful Start To Our Friday – Mid Michigan

Although we have rain in the forecast for this afternoon and tonight, this morning is lovely with plenty of sun and mild temperatures.  Our daily highs have been a bit below average but this weekend will make up for it.  We can expect temperatures to reach the upper 70s to near 80 degrees both Saturday and Sunday.  Unfortunately, that leaves us open for the possibility of strong to severe thunderstorms on Sunday.  Next week is expected to be a bit…

Sunny And Much Warmer Today In Mid Michigan

Sunny And Much Warmer Today In Mid Michigan

It seems that our cold, unseasonable weather is leaving us and we can look forward to some real spring-like weather.  Temps should reach well into the 50s today, and everyday this week will continue to get a little warmer.  We could see the mid 70s by Sunday.  This morning is quite pleasant with clear skies and light winds.  There is more rain moving in tonight and early Thursday, but not that much is expected.  The grass is green and buds…

A Snowy Day After Easter – Mid Michigan

A Snowy Day After Easter – Mid Michigan

Our Easter Sunday was quite nice.  There was some cloud cover  in the early afternoon, but we had sun most of the day.  Temperatures were a bit chilly but not as bad as today.  It feels more like late March than mid April, and we are expecting up to an inch of snow.  The Detroit area could get as much as 2-3 inches.  Next weekend should see temperatures in the low 70s, so at least that gives us something to…

A Sunny Saturday In Mid Michigan

A Sunny Saturday In Mid Michigan

Our Friday was very blustery and cold.  Hopefully, the winds won’t be as bad today and we will have more sun.  Temperatures are not expected to rise out of the mid 40s, but that won’t be too bad if it’s sunny and not windy.  We can only hope.  The radar showed rain over us much of the day, but the air was too dry and we had no precip at all.  I’m looking forward to the warmer temps that are…

Another Wind Advisory Day For Mid Michigan

Another Wind Advisory Day For Mid Michigan

Yesterday was very windy with gusts close to 50 mph in parts of the state.  Today isn’t quite as windy but still expecting gusts close to 40 mph.  Skies were clear early but now the sky is filled with clouds once again.  We can expect a significant warm-up by Thursday of this coming week, then temps are supposed to be much warmer the week after.  May is only two weeks away so it’s about time.  I’m ready for it!  We…
