Well, the rain is expected to be over for a few days, and this weekend should be very nice if the forecasts are correct. Right now it is cloudy but temperatures are mild and we should see the low to mid 60s later on. We received a little rain overnight, only 0.01″ in my gauge. The sun peeked out for a few minutes a little while ago, but no sign of it since. I put my hummingbird feeder out a…
Radar is showing that the rain has moved well to our southeast and it appears to be over. These past several days have been very wet and the Detroit area has been declared a disaster area because of flooding, especially in the Dearborn area. We didn’t received nearly that much here but enough to make the ground soggy. This weekend is supposed to be very nice however, and we deserve it. Our 9 AM temperature is 42°F (6°C), the humidity…
The rain ended early yesterday and we even say a few glimpses of the sun. This morning we have cloudy skies with a little fog. Highs should reach the low 60s and showeres are a possibility this afternoon. Some of the Detroit area is under water but we lucked out and didn’t get that much. Now we need a warm, dry spell so that I can get my flower beds cleaned out. Our 10 AM temperature is 47°F (8°C), the…
Maybe we should be happy that we aren’t getting severe weather but this much rain causes flooding which can be as bad. Many roads in the Detroit area are flooded as they got almost 2 inches overnight. We received a little over half an inch here. Radar is showing that we’re right on the edge of the showers and I’m hoping that it stays that way since I have some running around to do this morning. On the positive side,…
We received a little under half an inch of rain yesterday and we have much more heading out way. Our temperatures are about 10 degrees lower than where they should be for this date and we aren’t expecting any reprieve until the weekend. Until then, rain is in he forecast along with temperatures below the average. Hopefully, this will be the last cold front. Our 11:45 AM temp is 45°F (7°C), the humidity is 79%, and winds are from the…
We have rain in our forecast for everyday this week. Saturday’s snow event turned into a fizzle. They predicted 3-4 inches for my area and it all came as rain, and not much at that. We were all quite happy. Snow isn’t really unusual for this late in April but we hate when it snows on our flowers. Radar is showing a large area of rain knocking on our door but nothing as yet. I guess we won’t be doing…
Looking outdoors this morning, no one would suspect that we have a snowstorm on the way for tonight. The sun is out and flowers are blooming. There is a brisk wind blowing, however, giving us a warning of what is coming. What began as possible light snow amounts has now become 3-4 inches possible for my area. Oh well, it isn’t the first time that the spring flowers have been peaking out through snow cover. Good thing that they are…
We had rain closing in on us from the southeast and the northwest late yesterday, but none of it reached my area. I see that the Detroit area received some pretty heavy amounts on the CoCoRahs reports this morning. We were lucky because our ground is drenched and many fields still have water standing from these past rains that we’ve had. While the past few days have been very nice, there is yet another cold front moving in on us…
It seems that we just can’t get away from these cold temperatures. We get a few “teaser” days, then back to March weather. I guess that we better enjoy today and tomorrow because the remainder of the week will see highs only in the 40s and 50s. At least we aren’t getting snow. Our 9 AM temperature is 41°F (5°C), the humidity is 77% and winds are from the north at 5 mph. Skies are clear and we had frost…
This last two days were wonderful with plenty of sun and very warm temps. Today will be more normal with highs only in the mid 60s. We had a little rain overnight which left 0.05″ in my gauge. The forecast still calls for rain this morning but radar is showing most of it past us, and clearing skies are a possibility for this afternoon. Our 9 AM temperature is 62°F (17°C), the humidity is 65% and skies are overcast. Winds…
