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…
Today’s weather will be perfect with highs near 70°F and plenty of sun. Unfortunately the rest of the week won’t be as nice. There will be another cool down but not like earlier this month. We could also see some rain later in the week but at least it isn’t snow. Our 10 AM temp is 52°F (11°C), the humidity is 42%, and winds are from the east at 7 mph. The pressure is 29.42 in (1024.4 mb) and steady,…
“Oh what a beautiful morning” as the song says, but this is Michigan and not Oklahoma and our weekend weather is spectacular. Yesterday saw clear skies although there were a few cloudy hours in the afternoon. Skies cleared again in the evening and into the night. The high temp was in the normal range for this date and it was pleasant to be outdoors. My dogs love it and are asking to go out often through the day. Our 10…
We have another beautiful, sunny morning. Yesterday looked nice as skies remained clear all day, but north winds made it a bit uncomfortable to be out there. Regardless, it sure was nice to see the sun for a change. Today should also be clear and winds won’t be as strong, but we will see a few more clouds . Also, temps will be in the normal range for a change. Our 9 AM temp is 38°F (3°C), the humidity is…
We received about an inch of snow overnight but it is melting quickly with the sun. We are expecting a lovely day with clear skies and highs in the upper 40s. Yes, it should be about 10 degrees warmer than that, but considering what we have had, I’ll take it. Forecasts are calling for an increase in temps everyday right through early next week with highs at or slightly above normal by Tuesday. Maybe spring is finally here. Our 9:30…
Today is the start of warmer temperatures which should finally be in the normal range by the weekend. This weather is depressing. Not only is it cold but cloudy and wet as well. Our high temps last year at this time were in the mid to upper 70s, and this year we can’t even reach the normal low for our high temp. Yesterday was the first in six days that we didn’t receive any measurable precip. Maybe we are finally…
Our forecast is calling for much warmer and sunny weather for the weekend. That is certainly good news after what we have had. Yesterday was cold and windy with sporadic rain and snow showers. Today the sun is trying to make a showing between the clouds but don’t know how long that will last. Once again we have strong winds and highs aren’t expected to rise out of the 30s. But that will chance starting tomorrow. We still have a…
We were under a winter storm warning most of yesterday as rain and freezing rain continued. The first warning expired at noon, then another was issued later in the day. I couldn’t understand the reason for the second one since there was nothing happening or nothing showing on radar. Temps remained right at the freezing mark so the road salt took care of driving conditions most of the day. But now we have a thick layer of ice covering everything…
For us, the storm wasn’t as bad as predicted. We never did get the strong winds that they had near the western shorelines of the state, and most of the precip was rain and sleet. I heard that the Mackinaw Bridge is closed due to 50 mph winds. It is misting out now and freezing but the sleet cover is keeping it from being that slippery. We only have about 0.2 in of ice/sleet cover this morning. The storm warning…
What a nasty morning! The freezing rain hasn’t started yet but is on the way. A Winter Storm Warning is in effect until tomorrow afternoon and the warning area keeps spreading southward. I have to go to work later and am not concerned about the drive in but getting home tonight is a concern. We have moderate to heavy rain falling at this time and there was 0.38 in in my guage at 8:15 AM. In the past half hour,…
