Yesterday was gorgeous and today should be just as nice. I tried to go without the AC but broke down and turned it on late in the afternoon. Today we should see highs in the mid 80s. It’s hard to believe that it’s heading into mid summer already. Time goes by too fast. Radar is showing a little rain in the Detroit area and we could really use some here, but not in the forecast for a few days yet….
We couldn’t have lovelier weather for our July 4th holiday. Temps will be very comfortable and clear skies all day. It will be a quiet one for us since my kids aren’t able to be here this year. That’s the problem when it falls in mid week. But with a little luck, we’ll see fireworks which local people will be shooting off, as well as all the noise well into the night. I love the 4th of July. It’s my…
Many storms passed us by yesterday, but our temperatures were comfortable and there was a nice breeze. We didn’t need the AC which is always nice. I really prefer to have my windows open and listen to the sounds of the outdoors. Our morning is cloudy but we should see the sun later. Temperatures should be comfortable both today and tomorrow. Our 8:45 AM temp is 65.2°F (17°C), the humidity is 66% and skies are cloudy. Winds are from the…
There were numerous thunderstorms in Michigan yesterday, but they all managed to miss my area. Pictured is one of the storms which passed to our west. At the same time, another was passing to our east but we didn’t get a drop of rain. We were like the meat in a sandwich. Then later in the afternoon, the sun came out and skies cleared. It was a beautiful evening. As it grew dark, the fireworks began. We could hear booming…
The only rain that we received on Friday were a few, widespread drops that were barely noticeable. The southern counties and the thumb area of the state had some pretty strong thunderstorms but I haven’t heard of any damage reports. There is certainly an increase in the humidity levels, and for that reason, we have the AC on. I don’t think that we will be seeing much sun today and probably not much, if any, rain either. Our 9:30 AM…
This has been a strange summer for us. There is too much rain, very few hot days, and too much wind. I thought that by now the weather pattern would change, but it doesn’t seem to be. There was heavy rain once again for the northern areas of the state with almost 3 inches reported near the bridge. I’m glad we are home. We received 0.04″ here overnight, just enough to get things a little wet. It’s hard to believe…
Our morning was beautiful but now clouds are rolling in. We’re expecting rain by tonight but nothing severe. We didn’t get the rain down here that the northern counties of our state got, but we still don’t need anymore for awhile. Unfortunately, we don’t have much to say about it. Our 12 noon temp is 74.7°F (24°C), the humidity is 48%, and winds are from the SSW at 9 mph. The pressure is 30.07 in (1018.0 mb) and steady. Visibility…
Monday was a complete wash-out with rain all day. Yes, we got a few breaks that lasted about 15 mins, but then more rain. Highs never even reached 60°F and that was almost 20° below normal. But what can I say? This has been a very wet spring in Michigan, especially here in the north. Our next trip up here will be the end of July and I sure hope that it improves by then. We’ll be heading home…
Woke this morning to the sound of rain on the roof, not a pleasant sound when you are camping. My storm radar is showing no letup until around noon. Then, off-and-on showers continuing throughout the day. This certainly isn’t the way we wanted our last day here to be spent. I checked are CoCoRahs stations around this area and most are showing around 1/3 inch of rain since yesterday. Right now (9 AM EDT), our temperature is 55°F, the humidity…
I’ve seen the pictures of washed-out roads following Friday’s heavy rains in mid Michigan. The Mt. Pleasant area, as well as other surrounding areas, received up to 8 inches of rain and many farmers already lost what they had planted. Here in northern Michigan, we fared much better. South of us had rain almost all day on Saturday while we had mostly sun. There was a light shower around 10 pm but didn’t amount to much more than an annoyance. …
