We had dense fog early this morning but now it is bright and sunny.  It will be a very nice day and warm enough for outdoor activities.  The rain that we got hasn’t lessened the fire danger much, although my area isn’t as bad as further north.  There was a wildfire near Houghton Lake but I haven’t heard anything about it lately, so I assume that it is under control.

Our 12 noon temperature is 60°F, the humidity is 78%, and skies are clear.  Winds are from the east at 2-5 mph, and the pressure is 29.93° in and steady.  The dew point is 53°F and visibility is 10 miles.  Yesterday’s high was 63°F and the overnight low was 39°F.  Average temps for this date are 62°F/41°F.  Record temps for Oct.11 are 79°F (2003) and 28°F (2009).  Sunrise was at 7:47 AM and sunset will be at 6:59 PM.
