Mid Michigan Weather

After a very warm Monday, a line of showers moved through the state early this morning bringing falling temperatures and a little rain.  There was only 0.04″ in my gauge this morning, but wind will be our issue today.  Our highest overnight temp was at midnight as temps continued to drop throughout the night.  Although they are still quite mild, temperatures will continue to drop as the day goes on.  There is very frigid air coming our way and the…

We better enjoy today’s mild temperatures because they won’t be around much longer.  A strong cold front will be moving in from Canada and we will be doing well to see highs above freezing by the week’s end.  Yesterday was a lovely day with plenty of sun and light winds.  We spent the afternoon in the Detroit area with my kids, and there was a lot of outdoor activity with the nice weather.  So many have already gotten their Christmas…

I’m afraid that our nice autumn weather will be coming to an end this week.  The extended forecast is showing highs not much above freezing by week’s end.  Meteorological winter began on Dec. 1 and it’s really going to feel like it after Wednesday.  There is also snow in the forecast although no estimates of any accumulation so far.  Today is be a winner, however, with mild temps and a high in the low 50s. Our 10:15 AM EST temp…

We have a beautiful morning for our start of December.  This month is often the turn-around month for our autumn to winter weather.  November will usually still be quite mild, but December can be either mild or stormy.  So far, we have lucked out with nice weather, but our local meteorologist is warning us to expect a change next week.  It sounds like winter will finally arrive.  I still have the lawn swing out but I guess it’s time to…

This morning is dark and wet with showers moving in about 8 AM.  Radar is showing that the rain won’t last long and skies should be clearing later this morning.  It shouldn’t be too bad of a day.  Highs will be above average once again and winds will be moderate.  This is the last day of November and we haven’t had anything to complain about so far this Fall-Winter season.  I hope that it continues as such with no extremes. …

Local meteorologists were saying that new records were set yesterday regarding high temps, but I have found different data.  The high in Flint was 66°F but we didn’t get quite that warm here where I am.  I live in the country and I know that it is always a little warmer in town.  The data that I have found shows a record high of 70°F for yesterday’s date set back in 1905.  Regardless, it was very warm, almost to the…

Our Tuesday is starting out with plenty of sun but strong winds.  Temperatures are expected to be above normal for the next 10 days or so, and just a few rainy periods thrown in the mix.  Since most of November has seen below normal temps, I wouldn’t be surprised if December was the opposite.  That’s the way this whole year has been.  We may see some showers move in by tonight but no heavy amounts are expected. Our 8:30 AM…

The extended forecast for the next 10 days is calling for temperatures above normal once again.  So this pattern seems to be continuing right into December.  I love it.  I’m not ready for winter weather yet.  As Christmas draws near, I’ll be more accepting of snow.  I do love a white Christmas.  The long range forecast is calling for a very normal, snowy winter for our part of the country and I won’t complain about that as long as it…

This morning is sunny but very cold.  There is a thick layer of frost covering everything and temps are in the lower 20s.  Temperatures will not be nearly as mild as Saturday but at least it will be sunny.  Yesterday was mostly cloudy with a a few breaks in the clouds from time to time.  There were also a few sprinkles when a heavier cloud cover moved over us, but there was only 0.01″ in my gauge this morning.  We…

This morning is very pleasant with temps in the mid 40s.  Although it is mostly cloudy, there are a few breaks in the cloud cover and we can see signs of color in the east with the rising sun.  Everything was wet this morning and I think that we may have had a few sprinkles overnight but there was nothing in my gauge.  Our 8:15 AM temp is 44.4°F (7°C), the humidity is 80% and winds are from the west…
