I have lived in Michigan all of my life and became very interested in the weather after the 1953 Flint tornado. This was one of the few EF5 tornadoes in our state's history (since records have been kept). Although we are not strangers to severe storms in Michigan, EF5 tornadoes are very rare. I live in an area where we rarely get a good thunderstorm, in fact, we haven't had one all summer. When I lived down by Detroit, they were frequent during the spring and summer months. I love experiencing the four seasons here in Michigan and I wouldn't live anywhere else.

Today is much like yesterday.  Light winds and comfortable temperatures.  We sat out last night under a beautiful full harvest moon and a nice fire.  We haven’t had many this year between the hot temps and bugs, but last night was perfect. Our 2:30 PM temperature is 73°F, the humidity is 47% and skies are mostly clear.  Winds are from the north at 2-7 mph, and the pressure is 29.77 in and falling.  The dew point is 52°F and visibility…

A Beautiful First Day Of Autumn . . . . .

Although a bit on the cool side, our first official day of autumn is quite pleasant.  Although there will be a moderate breeze, our temperatures will be right where they should be, and no rain is expected today or tonight.  It’s a good day to get outdoors and get some yard work done. Our 2 PM temperature is 63°F, the humidity is 54% and winds are from the ENE at 2-8 mph.  The pressure is 20.33 in and rising.  The…

Another Gloomy Day . . .

Another Gloomy Day . . .

On this official last day of summer, it really feels like autumn, even though there is not one sign of color.  Maybe it will go from no color to bare trees this year. At least there is no rain today, but more is expected tomorrow.  Temperatures will remain about normal for this time of year.  I’m enjoying the coolness. Our 4:45 PM temperature is 60°F, the humidity is 60%.  Winds are from the NE at 2-7 mph and the pressure…

Too Much Rain . . . . .

Too Much Rain . . . . .

After a rainy Saturday, today started out the same.  Now we have an occasional sprinkle but radar is showing most of the rain well to our south.  The states just to our south are getting severe flooding with training storms moving over them most of the weekend.  Once again, we have been lucky. Our 4:30 PM temperature is 66°F, the humidity is 87% and skies are overcast.  Winds are from the SE at 2-4 mph, and the pressure is 29.91…

More Rain On The Way . . . . .

So far today, we have received quarter of an inch of rain, and we’re being warned that more is on the way.  It has ranged from steady to moderate most of the morning, but it isn’t raining right now.  Radar is showing a break for a while with more coming later.  We really don’t need anymore and could easily go a week without. Our 1:45 PM temperature is 59°F, the humidity is 90%, and skies are overcast.  Winds are from…

A Short Reprieve From The Rain . . . .

After more rain over the past several days, we have much welcomed sun this morning.  Temperatures will be about normal which I love this time of year.  There is still no color but some trees are trying to change.  This is one of the greenest Septembers I can ever remember. Our 10 AM temperature is 60°F, the humidity is 88%, and skies are clear.  Winds are NE at 2-5 mph and the pressure is 30.20 in and falling.  The dew…

Another Rainy Day . . . .

Our morning started with intermittent showers and radar is showing more on the way.  This is expected to last most of our day, so it looks like we’ll be mowing the lawn in the next few days again.  I wish this rain would go where it is needed. Our 10:45 AM temperature is 59°F, the humidity is 92%, and skies are overcast with light rain.  Winds are  from the south at 0-4 mph, and the pressure is 30.02 in and…
