After an afternoon of sprinkles, we finally got a good rainfall overnight. There was 0.42″ in my gauge this morning, and many areas of the state received more than an inch. The eastern lower part of the state was under a flood warning but haven’t heard of the extent of any flooding. Radar is showing some light rain moving across the mid sections of the state, but most of it has moved well off to our east. The sun has…
Rain is in our forecast for today, and radar is showing it slowly approaching us. At this time, however, it appears to be light with no significant storms developing. Thunderstorms are supposed to develop this afternoon but that remains to be seen. I was hoping that we’d get some rain since I haven’t watered my garden in a few days, and it is getting pretty dry. The northern portions of the state seem to be getting a good drenching, if…
This morning began with a few sprinkles, and the radar is showing rain over us, but nothing is happening right now. We are expecting intermittent showers throughout the day and temperatures will remain below average. The leaves all seem to be out full now and everything is lush green. This is expected to be a cool June and so far, that is what’s happening. With all the stormy weather that has been happening in other states, the weather here in…
We have yet another beautiful day to enjoy. Highs will only make it into the 70s although it is quite breezy. Extended forecasts for the fist half of June are calling for temperatures a little below average, so that sounds perfect to me. I love having the windows open in summer in stead of the AC, so this is a treat. Our 1:15 PM temperature is 76°F, the humidity is 29%, and winds are from the west at 4-15 mph. …
Today is perfection as far as I’m concerned. The sky is clear, temperatures are comfortable, and breezes are light. We couldn’t ask for a nicer day. Yesterday was mostly cloudy and we did have a few drops of rain. We went shopping in Owosso and it poured while we were in the store, but the roads were barely wet here at home. I’m still in the process are planting flowers. It’s slow but sure process this year. I have some…
Today will be the hottest day that we have had so far this year. I’m not sure if any records will be broken, but I know that it will be much to hot for me. I don’t plan on being outdoors much, in spite of it looking gorgeous out there. My dog, on the other hand, thinks it’s wonderful and has been asking to go out about every half hour. We have more cooler air descending on us from the…
Today’s weather will feel more like July than the end of May, but who’s complaining? For those planning any time in or on the water, it will be ideal. It is a bit breezy but that will make it feel a little cooler. Highs are expected to reach the upper 80s, so a nice breeze will feel great. There is still no rain in the forecast until Tuesday night and that’s fine. We can use a dry spell. Our 1…
We have gorgeous weather for our holiday weekend with summer-like temperatures. Today should reach the low 80s and highs near 90°F tomorrow. There is no rain mentioned in the forecast until Wednesday, so that will give the lawn a good chance to dry out. Mowing has been a real challenge this spring with all the rain that we have gotten. It’s hard to believe that it is the end of May already. I’m sure that this summer will go by…
Today feels like a day in July with the air so full of moisture. We have had stop-and-go rain since this morning, although showers are becoming more numerous as the afternoon wears on. We had showers overnight which gave us over quarter of an inch of rain. I’m not sure how much more we’ll get today. It is moving in on us right out of the south, and there still seem to be quite a bit still on the radar. …
We have mostly clear skies, light breezes and comfortable temperatures. It’s the perfect day for doing some gardening. I went out and bought more perennials today, as I’m trying to change all my gardens to them so I don’t have to keep replanting every year. I’m getting too old for that and am looking for the easy way out. Friends gave me some peonies last year, and they looked terrible all summer after I planted them. I wasn’t sure that…
