Mid Michigan Weather

We have rain in our forecast for this afternoon, and radar is showing it already in the western portions of the state.  I’m hoping that most stays to our south, but even at that, it isn’t expected to be that much.  There is another cold front coming and temperatures this weekend are expected to only reach the 60s.  That’s okay.  I brought some warm clothes with me.  Yesterday was perfect with clear skies all day and comfortable temps and humidity….

We drove up here yesterday under sunny skies and very warm temperatures.  We are expecting this weather to remain through the weekend with just a chance for rain on Friday.  After all the rain that we’ve had, the mosquitoes are terrible but with plenty of bug spray, we’ve pretty much conquered that problem.  It is a bit cooler up here in Indian River than at home with highs only in the mid 70s.  For me, that’s better than the mid…

Today will really feel like summer with highs expected in the upper 80s.  The weekend was a bit chilly but nice for working in the yard.  Sunday night finished off with a shower which left 0.19″ in my gauge.  This morning is sunny and we do have a chance for some random thunderstorms later on. Our 10 AM temperature is 73F (23C), the humidity is 57%, and skies are clear.  Winds are from the W at 6-12 mph and the…

Today is starting out with light to moderate rain and temperatures much cooler than what we have had.  There was only 0.08″ in my rain gauge at 9 AM, but we have had heavier rain showers since then.  Northern Michigan received flooding rain amounts yesterday, mainly Traverse City, but we had just a few off and on sprinkles throughout the day.  We just can’t seem to get a break from this rain lately.  We are told that it is from…

Rain is something that we don’t need, but there seems to be no end to it.  The forecast is calling for  up to an inch of precip over the next few days.  Storms formed yesterday afternoon, but all we got was a few sprinkles and it is sprinkling out right now.  Our hot weather appears to be over for now, and highs will only make it into the 60s this weekend. our 9:15 AM temperature is 71F (22C), the humidity…

Highs reached near 90F yesterday and a few storms developed, but we only had a few sprinkles here.  It’s amazing that we haven’t turned the AC off over the past 3 days, and it looks like we’ll be needing the furnace again come the weekend.  This weather is crazy! Our 8:45 AM temperature is 73F (23C), the humidity is 81%, and winds are calm.  The pressure is 29.92 in (1013.2 mb) and steady. The dew point is 67F (19C) and…

A very warm day led to some afternoon thunderstorms on Saturday.  We barely caught the edge of them, and there was only 0.08″ in my rain gauge this morning.    Today will be another hot day with highs expected to reach near 90F.   Next weekend will bring yet another cold front with highs on some days only reaching the upper 60s.  This weather seems to be having a stability problem.  Why can’t we just have temps around 80F and stay there?…

There was 0.38″ of rain in my gauge which was a bit of a surprise.  The areas around me didn’t record nearly that much, and we  sure didn’t need it.  I see that there are new flood warnings up for the Saginaw-Bay City area, as if they need that.  My husband managed to get the lawn mowed yesterday in spite of intermittent sprinkles throughout the day. I’m seeing people in the town of Sanford trying to deal with the devastation…

Friday was a drizzly, damp day but at least it was warm.  Today is looking to be better although there are still a lot of clouds.  There is filtered sun shining through and it’s warm enough to go out without a coat.  Winds are very light and almost calm.  Our forecast is calling for more sun this afternoon and highs climbing into the upper 70s.  We’ll take it! Our 11:15 AM temperature is 71F (22C), the humidity is 66%, and…
