Some Overnight Rain, Now Cloudy Skies – Mid Michigan

Some Overnight Rain, Now Cloudy Skies – Mid Michigan

We received 0.21″ of rain overnight but now we just have dreary skies.  The rain seems to be over for now but more is in the forecast for tonight.  Our temperatures will continue to be mild until another arctic blast descends on us from Canada next week.  Highs are only expected to be in the 20s.  Our grass is still very green, which is unusual for mid January.    More rain is expected tonight and some thunder isn’t out of the…

A Little Sun, But Now More Clouds – Mid Michigan

A Little Sun, But Now More Clouds – Mid Michigan

There was hope for a little sun this morning, and for a while, the sky was almost completely clear.  Unfortunately, it didn’t last very long.  But some sun is better than none.  Right?  Today is expected to be dry until tonight, then scattered rain and snow showers will move in.  Temperatures will remain well above average for a while longer, possibly until the end of the month. Our 11:30 AM temperature is 39°F, the humidity is 76%, and winds are…

Just Another Gloomy January Day In Mid Michigan

Just Another Gloomy January Day In Mid Michigan

Yesterday became cloudy with rain developing in the late afternoon.   It ended right around midnight and we only received 0.12″.  This morning began with fog and cloudy skies.  It hasn’t improved much since then.  We see so little sun this time of the year, and I like having snow because it doesn’t seem so dark.  We don’t even have that and future forecasts aren’t promising.  In fact, I just heard where February is expected to be on the warm side…

Some Sun Early, But Now . . . . . . Mid Michigan

Some Sun Early, But Now . . . . . . Mid Michigan

It was nice and bright this morning, but now clouds have moved in.  Rain is in the forecast for later this afternoon and tonight.  At least it’s rain and not snow.  Our weather continues to be mild.  Unfortunately, this warm weather is bringing more severe storms to the south, and they sure don’t need anymore of that.  California is having their problems too, so I’m considering us to be lucky. Our 12:30 PM temperature is 38°F, the humidity is 59%…

Sunny But Cold In Mid Michigan

Sunny But Cold In Mid Michigan

After almost a week of gloom, we finally have clear skies.  But with that came very cold temperatures.  It was only 12F when I got up this morning.  We should see a substantial warm-up later but temps will probably not rise above the freezing mark.  Another significant rise in temperatures is coming our way with highs above average.  That will spell more severe weather for the southern states, and I’m sure that they’ve had enough of that. Our 11:45 AM…

Cloudy But Mild In Mid Michigan

Cloudy But Mild In Mid Michigan

Just another gloomy day in mid Michigan, but seeing the sun the past two days was lovely.  We have rain in our forecast for today but nothing so far.  In fact, all the rain yesterday stayed to our south.   We are noticing a little more light now in the evening and it isn’t completely now at 5 PM.   It’s hard to believe that January is almost half over already and we’re still waiting for that hard winter that was predicted. …

Filtered Sun For Our Tuesday – Mid Michigan

Filtered Sun For Our Tuesday – Mid Michigan

Local forecasters told us to enjoy the sun yesterday because today would be cloudy once again.  Well, they were partially right.  We have had sunshine all morning although there is a thin layer of clouds also.  I’ll take it.  Temperatures are above average and winds are light.  It is quite a nice day.  We are expecting some rain later but not that much. Our 12:30 PM temperature is 38°F, the humidity is 78% and skies are partly cloudy.  Winds are…

Finally! Some Sun! – Mid Michigan

Finally! Some Sun! – Mid Michigan

What a difference a day with sunlight makes!  Our local station is already warning us to enjoy it because tomorrow will be cloudy once again.  I can’t remember the last time that we saw the sun but it’s been at least two weeks, maybe longer.  My prime weather guru, Ryan Hall, said that our part of the country will see above-average temperatures for most of the remaining January.  So what does that mean?  That we’ll be pummeled with unrelenting winter…

So Far, No Sun, But I Keep Hoping – Mid Michigan

So Far, No Sun, But I Keep Hoping – Mid Michigan

We were supposed to see a little sun today but so far, it’s a no-show.  Also, temperatures aren’t rising very fast either, and we are far from our expected high today.  It looks like this will be just another blah day in Michigan.  I guess I should just be happy that there is no snow to contend with, and we aren’t getting massive rain amounts like the west coast.  It’s still early and maybe the sun could still make an…

Not Much Change In Mid Michigan

Not Much Change In Mid Michigan

Our weather pattern has become stagnant, but we should see some changes beginning tomorrow.  I don’t think we’ll see much if any sun today, but it would be nice to see a little clearing later.  The past four days have given us wet, chilly, gloomy weather.  We had light snow mixed with rain yesterday, which left a trace of snow on the deck.  Temperatures have remained unchanged, hovering close to the freezing mark.  I don’t mind the cold temps, I…
