Mid Michigan Weather

Today will be on the mild side, ahead of a strong cold air mass which will affect our weather for the next week.  Tomorrow will be the worst with very strong sustained winds and gusts as high as 60 mph.  Today will be rainy with the possibilities of some thunder.  In fact, we heard a little thunder yesterday with the rain, but it was off in the distance.  Some storm chasers reported hail between Owosso and Chesaning.  We received almost…

This morning is dark and dreary with freezing rain.  There’s a thin layer of ice on the trees, bushes and my deck.  Temperatures will be on the rise so it isn’t expected to be long lasting, and hopefully the ice will melt very soon. Our 11:30 AM temperature is 32°F, the humidity is 95%, and skies are overcast with rain, although I think most has stopped  for now.  Winds are from the S at 1-4 mph and the pressure is…

Our Christmas Day has cloudy skies and temperatures about where they should be for this date.  We have no precip and winds are light.  Freezing rain is in the forecast for tomorrow morning, so I’m glad I don’t have to go anywhere.  I hope no one gets what northern Michigan got last March.  Freezing rain is far worse than a blizzard. Our 3:30 PM temperature is 35°F. the humidity is 73%, and skies are cloudy. Winds are from the NE…

Our weather today will be uneventful with mainly clouds, but we could see a few peeks of the sun.  Temperatures will be above average and there is no precipitation in the forecast.  Friday, however, will bring possible freezing rain, and much colder temps for next week. Our 11 AM temperature is 32°F, the humidity is 80%, and winds are from the ESE at 2-5 mph.  The pressure is 30.14 in and falling.  Visibility is 10 miles.  Yesterday’s high was 50°F…

Although quite cold, today had clear skies and it was great to see the sun again.  With Christmas just a few days away, snow is out of the question for this year.  We had constant snow cover since November 30 until two days ago.  Now I’m hearing that we can expect some mild weather to start the new year. Our 4:30 PM temperature is 26°F, the humidity is 60%, and skies are mostly clear.  Winds are from the SW at…

We had a light covering of snow yesterday morning, but it has all melted since then.  Now most of the snow is gone except where the snow piles were.  Our white Christmas is not going to happen this year.  After the past two weeks, I don’t really care.  We’ve already gotten enough snow for the year as far as I’m concerned, but I know that’s not going to happen.  At least, if these polar vortexes would stay up in Canada,…

We have a reprieve from the frigid temperatures of the past week, and we have lost about half of our snow pack.  There is still about three inches on the ground and a few patches of ice in the driveway.  Today will be very warm, but then the cold temps will return again tomorrow.  At this time, it is predicted that more warm weather will close out the year and into early January. Our 1:30 PM temperature is 44°F, the…

We can look forward for some loss of snow and warmer temperatures over the next few days.  I’m hoping that this frigid air will be gone for awhile.  Ryan Hall, YouTube weather analyst, is predicting above normal temps for the end of the month and into early January. In fact, having a white Christmas is questionable at this time.  I think I’ve had enough “white” to last the rest of winter. Our 12:30 PM temperature is 29°F. the humidity is…

Our weather hasn’t changed over the past few days.  We still have mostly cloudy skies, very cold temps, and occasional light snow.  We should start seeing warmer temps beginning tomorrow, when the highs should finally rise above the freezing mark. Our 10:30 AM temperature is 17°F, the humidity is 60%, and winds are from the south at 7-14 mph.  The pressure is 19.96 in and steady.  The dew point is 5°F and visibility is 10 miles.  Yesterday’s high was 21°F…

We are under the influence of another arctic blast from Canada which continues to keep our temperatures much colder than they should be.  Highs today may not even make it out of the teens.  Yesterday was partly sunny but clouds moved in overnight and we got a snow shower which didn’t give us much more in accumulation.  Thankfully, we are expecting some 40 degree weather by mid week and that should rid us of some of this snow.  We currently…
