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…
Our day is beginning with clouds but very nice temperatures. I was able to sleep with my window open last night and that was wonderful. I felt a few sprinkles when I went out earlier but we aren’t expecting any great amounts of rain today. That’s a good thing with all the flooding. I haven’t been near the river since the storms, but I would imagine that it is pretty high. Thankfully, my area hasn’t had any devastating floods that…
We came back home yesterday and could see many flooded fields as we traveled through the Mt. Pleasant-Clare area. US 10, which passes Midland, was completely closed due to flooding. They are saying that this is a 500 year event and so many people are affected. These types of weather events are so sad as Mother Nature can be so cruel. The owners of our campground said that there was 4 inches of snow on the ground last week up…
After 2 days of rain, yesterday finally broke out in a little sun by late afternoon. Today is expected to be very nice but we have to head for home. Highs here are expected to be in the low 70s. That’s warmer than what is expected at home. I’m seeing pictures of disastrous flooding in mid portions of the state with the failure of several dams. Some areas received as much as 8 inches of rain. We got about 3…
We continue to have a few sprinkles this morning but it shouldn’t last too long. Today is expected to be fairly nice after two days of continuous rain. There are flood warnings at home and they received over three inches of rain over the past 48 hours. We didn’t get nearly that much here in northern Michigan, just enough to make it miserable. The owners of our campground showed me pictures from a week ago. They had 4 inches of…
This isn’t the first time that the weather forecast has changed from what it was supposed to be. Originally, it was supposed to start raining late Saturday night, all day Sunday, and be done by noon today. Not going to happen. It looks like today will be another wash out with rain possibly extending even into early tomorrow. We will probably leave tomorrow since the weather is so ditsy. At least we had a nice day to get our trailer…
Yesterday was very nice here in Indian River, but the next two days will be very wet and cold. We went down to the inlaw’s cabins on Lake Huron in Cheboygan yesterday afternoon, and couldn’t believe how much of their yard that was lost. Their flag pole is gone as are several trees which were near the shoreline. They will be coming up from Florida on June 1 and I sent Chris a message warning her of what to expect. …
