After a very warm Wednesday, a line of thunderstorms moved through the state late last night dropping 0.47 inches of rain in my gauge. Although a severe thunderstorm warning was issued for a brief period of time, there was nothing here but a lot of rain and plenty of lightning. Our weather now will be much cooler for a few days with highs only in the 50s and lows near freezing. We did see a few peaks of sun earlier…
After a very warm Tuesday, we should expect about the same for today. This morning is sunny and partly cloudy and there won’t be quite as much sun as yesterday. Also, winds will be much stronger. Clouds will be on the increase as another storm system moves our way bringing much cooler temperatures once again. We are seeing many more leaves appearing and it’s finally starting to look like May. Our 10 AM temperature is 70°F (21°C), the humidity is…
This is the weather that we have been waiting for. Yesterday was gorgeous, both upstate and here in mid Michigan. Highs were in the low 70s with light winds. Everything is greening up and there are more and more leaves popping out on trees and bushes everyday. I think that spring has finally arrived in Michigan. Our 8:45 AM temperature is 59°F (16°C), the humidity is 50%, and winds are from the SSW at 10 mph. The pressure is 30.18…
We have been in northern Michigan this weekend moving into our new trailer. Our weather has been sunny but very chilly. It finally warmed up a bit late yesterday to around 60°F. Just over a week ago, they had 36 inches of snow from the 2 day storm, and all that remains now are traces of a few large snowbanks and drifts. Our camp owners are a few weeks behind getting things done because of it. Otherwise, we have had…
Rain began early last evening and continued throughout the night. It didn’t rain hard but just a nice, steady rain which left 0.12 in in my gauge as of 9 AM. It continues at this time with more on the way. It’s amazing how a couple of 80 degree days can make the leaves suddenly pop out on the trees and bushes. It’s a welcome sight to be sure. Our 9:45 AM temperature is 64°F (18°C), the humidity is 91%,…
Yesterday reached the low to mid 80s here in Mid Michigan, and with the low humidity, it was very pleasant. It seemed good to air out the house and be able to go outdoors without a coat. Today won’t be quite as warm but we should see a high near 80°F by late afternoon. We have had hazy sun with a fairly light cloud cover most of the morning and brisk winds. I have heard that there is a wild…
Mother Nature is finally giving us some seasonable weather. Yesterday was sunny but chilly. Today, we could see 70°F for the first time in a while. Tomorrow will be even better with highs expected in the upper 70s to low 80s. Unfortunately, I have to work both today and tomorrow but I can still enjoy most of today. As always, the hot weather brings the threat of severe weather and we have already been warned that’s a possibility by mid…
It is very chilly once again here in Michigan but at least we know that it won’t last past this weekend. Forecasts for next week show us above average most days. It is getting very dry and we really need some rain. All the showers yesterday stayed well to our north and all we got was a few sprinkles. Today is beginning with clouds but we should see the sun by afternoon. Highs aren’t expected to rise much above 50°F…
We seem to be having a very hard time warming up this spring. Temperatures just can’t seem to remain at or near normal. All the flowers are late and almost no leaves appearing on bushes and trees yet. At this rate, they won’t be out until mid May. Yesterday and Wednesday were beautiful with highs in the upper 60s to low 70s. Unfortunately, we won’t see that again for a few days as more cold air is descending down from…
Yesterday was almost like a summer day with our high temp reaching the low 70s. I got to sleep with my window open last night for the first time this year. Today, however, will be back to the 50s again and rain. They graded our road yesterday and it is now very dusty, so I hope we do get enough to knock down the dust anyway. Radar isn’t looking too promising right now with most well to our north. Our…
