Yesterday, we spent the afternoon on my in-law’s pontoon boat on Mullet lake in Cheboygan. It was wonderful. The temperature was near 90°, but it was very comfortable out on the lake. With it so late in the season, there weren’t many boats out there, and some were taking a few spins around the lake before putting them up for the season. Winds were light so the water was quite calm. Today will be slightly cooler than yesterday but not…
Yesterday was another hot one with highs reaching the 90s once again. This weather is unbelievable. I guess I shouldn’t complain as it could be cold and rainy. This is the final weekend for this campground and things will be winding down all week. We will be here until next Saturday and everyone will have to be out by then. The extended forcast is calling for dry weather and temps will finally return to normal by Wednesday. That will be…
Yesterday was stifling with temps in the low 90s and very humid conditions. This is just unreal for late September in Michigan, but especially in northern Michigan. Normally highs are only in the 60s this time of year. What’s even more remarkable is how dry it is. There were storms forming just to our northwest late yesterday afternoon, but we never had a drop of rain here. Radar looked like the Cheboygan area got a good soaking but all we…
I’m doing my blog here this morning since I am unable to access Weather Together. Our weather is quite eventful, not only the heat but the strange thunderstorms that formed at home yesterday. A fairly large batch of storms formed over Clinton and Shiawassee counties late yesterday afternoon, then seemed to become stationary. It rained for about three hours before the system finally dissipated. We received an inch at my house, but some other areas received over an inch to…
It seems that August and September have switched this year. We had below normal temps most of August and now that September is here, we continue to have temperatures that are much above normal. I can’t ever remember having it this hot this late in the season, and especially for this length of time. What’s even better is that it is expected to continue right through the weekend. We are heading up to Indian River today for the last time…
Radar is showing some rain headed our way, and we could certainly use it. With the unseasonable heat that we have had, everything is drying out and lawns are brown. I think we are making up for our cool August this month. I don’t ever remember having to use the AC this late in the season. Highs are expected to rise to near the 90° mark later this week. Our trip to northern Michigan is coming up and I’m hoping…
We had a dry thundershower last night, something quite rare for our area. We had a moderate but brief shower earlier which left us with 0.02 inches in my gauge. Today is much cooler with highs struggling to reach the low 70s. I have to admit that it feels good to me. Yesterday was too warm. We are expected to see some sun this afternoon, but it is already 3 PM and no sign of Mr. Sun yet. Our 3…
It seems strange to be using the AC this late in the season, but highs are reaching the low to mid 80s. There are thunderstorms in our forecast for later today and I hope that we do get some rain. It’s been a while since we had any. This morning is very mild and we were able to sleep with the windows open last night. We have gone from mid October weather last week, to mid summer weather this week. …
We are still enjoying a week’s worth of mid summer weather and I love it. I just hope it continues until the end of the month. We are seeing more color every day and some think that this is happening early this year. To me, it seems just about normal. It’s hard to believe that September is half over already, and Christmas items will start appearing in our stores once again. Where did the summer go??? Our 9:30 AM temp…
It seem good to be wearing short pants and short sleeved shirts once again . . . . . .and having the windows open. This is expected to continue all of this week and I sure hope into next. We are leaving for northern Michigan a week from today and I don’t want cold and rainy weather. I guess we’ll just put up with what we get. This morning was very foggy with almost zero visibility. I was so happy…
