This has been a very dry month for us and burn bans have now been issued. We haven’t had any rain since the first week of March, and none is expected until possibly Tuesday. I’m in the mood for a good thunderstorm to green things up a bit. The lawn is brown and dead-looking and it’s time for nature to start waking up. Our 9:15 AM temp is 26°F (-3°C), the humidity is 68%, and skies are partly cloudy. Winds…
It seems a bit strange to have such an extended period of dry weather at this time of the year here in Michigan. This is usually our rainy/stormy time of year. There isn’t any rain in the forecast until next Tuesday and that’s only a 50% chance at that. Seeing what is going on in the east, we have been very lucky. Our 9:15 AM temp is 27°F (-2°C), the humidity is 71%, and winds are from the NW at…
This morning is very chilly with temps in the teens. We did have a lovely sunrise which compensates a bit, but it would certainly be nice for warmer weather to arrive. Our snow is gone except for shady areas and we’re hoping that there will be no more this season. Ou 8:15 AM temp is 19°F (-7°C), the humidity is 70%, and winds are from the NW at 5 mph giving us a wind chill of 14°F (-10°C). The pressure…
After all the snow that we have had, it seems strange to have clear, dry weather for so many days in a row. Now the forecast is saying no precip until next Tuesday. We still have small patches of snow where it is always shady and it doesn’t get quite warm enough to melt. But, for the most part, we don’t have any snow cover left. Looking at the CoCoRahs reports this morning, that seems to be true for most…
While much of the eastern US are reeling from storms of one kind or another, Michigan is quite tranquil but very chilly. I guess we can’t complain. Another nor’easter is knocking on the door of the eastern seaboard, and the south has been hit with strong storms and tornadoes. There is no warm up expected anytime soon for us. In fact, it could be another 10 days before we’re back to normal temperatures. As long as these nor’easters continue to…
After a two day reprieve from cooler than normal weather, we once again have to dealing with cool Canadian air. At least we got rid of the remaining snow and our weather should continue to be dry over the next several days. Highs are not expected to reach above than the 30s today after our mid 50 degree temps yesterday. I’m hoping for nice weather on Easter Sunday but that is too far ahead to speculate right now. Our 9:15…
This will definitely be the pick day of the week with plenty of sun and temps reaching the mid 50s. I even got the bug to bring out some of my outdoor furniture. Maybe I’m rushing things a bit but I will probably use them this afternoon. Unfortunately, our temperatures for the remaining week won’t be as warm; but even at that, there is no precip in the forecast and sun most of the week. That will make it feel…
Our Saturday is starting out with clear skies but very cold temperatures. Our high today should be in the normal range with plenty of sun, so I’m expecting that most, if not all, of our snow will be gone by tomorrow night. Dry conditions should remain throughout the week. The storms affecting the mid sections of the country are expected to stay well to our south and shouldn’t have much impact on us. Our 9:45 AM temp is 21°F (-7°C),…
Our snow is gone except for patches here and there, and there is no precipitation in our forecast for the next week. There are also no normal temperatures in the forecast next week. Although we aren’t receiving the nasty weather that is affecting the eastern states, that storm pattern is responsible for our continued below-normal temperatures. It will warm up briefly this weekend and I’m hoping that the remaining snow will finally be gone. Our 9 AM temp is 22°F…
The Nor’easters that are affecting the eastern seaboard are keeping Michigan in the deep freeze. We’ll be lucky to see temps above freezing over the next few days. At least there isn’t anymore snow in the forecast for awhile and we should see Mr. Sun more often than we have been. I’m really hoping that this weather breaks before Easter. Our 10 AM temp is 25°F, the humidity is 64% and winds are from the west at 12 mph. Skies…
