Transitioning Weather . . . .

Transitioning Weather . . . .

Last night brought some storms to mid portions, and southern portions of the state.  There was even a brief tornado warning for Gratiot County but I haven’t heard of any damage.  Today is bringing falling temperatures and very windy conditions.  I don’t think we’ll see much sun today although it did manage to peek out a while ago.  It won’t be a good day to do anything outdoors. Our 12:45 PM temperature is 55°F, the humidity is 72%, and skies…

A Gloomy, Damp Sunday . . . .

A Gloomy, Damp Sunday . . . .

After getting almost half an inch of overnight rain, our Sunday is a bit mild but no sun.  I have my doubts that the high temp today will reach 60°F but at least the rain has ended for now.  There is no more rain in our forecast until Wednesday. Our 1:45 PM temperature is 53°F (12°C), the humidity is 94%, and winds are from the south at 4-7 mph.  The wind chill is 51°F (11°C).  The pressure is 29.55 in…

Our sunny Saturday has become cloudy.. . . . .

Our sunny Saturday has become cloudy.. . . . .

Our morning was sunny with frost, but now our skies are overcast.  There is rain in our forecast for overnight, but nothing on radar near us at this time.  Temperatures are right where they should be for this date and no extreme warmups expected anytime soon.  We knew this was coming. Our 3:15 PM temperature is 55°F, the humidity is 59%, and winds are from the SE at 3-5 mph.  The dew point is 37°F and the wind chill is…

Bright But Chilly . . . .

Bright But Chilly . . . .

It’s a nice bright November day and our temperatures, although chilly, are still above average.  It looks like it will remain this way for at least another week.  My husband is still mowing the lawn, something that we are usually finished with by now.  Conditions are still abnormally dry although not at drought stage at this time. Our 3 PM temperature is 58°F (14°C), the humidity is 59%, and skies are clear.  Winds are from the NW at 13-22 mph,…

Mostly Cloudy And Damp . . . .

Mostly Cloudy And Damp . . . .

Our morning has been cloudy and damp from overnight rain.  We received almost 3/4 of an inch over the past 24 hours and I think the rain is over for now.  Skies are cloudy with some breaks, allowing the sun to peek through once in a while.  The past two days have been very warm again, with highs reaching the 70s.  This weather is unbelievable.  We’re supposed to have snow this time of year. Our 12:45 PM temperature is 60°F…

A Rainy Day Ahead . . . .

A Rainy Day Ahead . . . .

Light sprinkles began late last night, then progressed to light, steady rain this morning.  There was 0.29″ in my gauge at 8:30, and the rain has continued since then.  Rain is in our forecast through Tuesday night and we really need it. Our 9:30 temperature is 60°F, the humidity is 96%, and winds are from the S at 3-8 mph.  The pressure is 29.79 in and steady, and the dew point is 58°F.  Visibility is 4 miles with light rain. …

A Little Warmer . . . .

A Little Warmer . . . .

Our 2 PM temperature is 61°F, the humidity is 43%, and winds are from the SE at 4-9 mph.  The pressure is 29.99 in and falling, and the dew point is 33°F.  Visibility is 14 miles and skies are…

Sunny But Cool . . . .

Sunny But Cool . . . .

The morning began with clear skies and a heavy frost.  Most of the tress are bare now except the maples and oaks.  They are still hanging on a bit longer.  Winds from the past two days really did a good job of stripping them.  Today will be more tranquil and the sun should make it feel comfortable.  It won’t be a bad day for early November. Our 11:45 AM temperature is 44°F (7°C), the humidity is 78%, and skies are…

A Typical Autumn Day . . . .

A Typical Autumn Day . . . .

Today will be a normal early November day.  I think the 70 degree weather is now gone, but who really knows?  I’ve seen it happen in late November in the past, and the way the weather has been this year, anything can happen.  Most of yesterday’s rain missed us although we did get a few sprinkles.  Today will be breezy but not like the past two days. Our 10:15 AM temperature is 44°F, the humidity is 73%, and skies are…
