Today will be very warm but very windy. It seems that anytime we get nice temperatures, we pay for it either with wind or rain. Unfortunately we aren’t quite finished with snow yet. It is once again in our forecast for tomorrow. This isn’t unusual for April, but it is still hard to see this late in the year. Temperatures will rebound again by Thursday, so I guess we can deal with it for two days. Our 11:45 AM temperature…
Today will be very warm but there is a slight chance for some rain. I guess we should expect that the way our weather has been this spring. We have already had more tornadoes than we see usually have all spring. I hope that it will quiet down a bit but that remains to be see. Our 12:45 PM temperature is 55F, the humidity is 50%, and winds are from the south at 2-6 mph. The pressure is 30.03 in…
Today is promising to be a very nice day. We are expecting sun and much warmer temps. Our next chance for rain is tomorrow night. I’m not seeing any mention of snow anytime soon, so that’s a good thing. Our 1:15 PM temp is 53°F (12°C), the humidity is 36%, and skies are clear. Winds are from the SE at 3-6 mph and the pressure is 30.20 in (1022.7 mb) and steady. The dew point is 24°F (-4°C) and visibility…
This morning looks and feels like spring although still a bit chilly. Yesterday was cold with a mix of snow, then rain. It wasn’t much to measure but just enough to dampen the day. We should see temps reach into the low 50s today, much better than yesterday. I’ve been in the hospital the past three days. A simple medical procedure turned into much more. Now I’m sort of limited in my activities for the next 6 weeks. But somehow,…
Today is my daughter’s birthday so we spent yesterday in the Detroit area celebrating. The weather was cloudy but temps were mild and it was dry. Today is cooler but we have more sun, so not a bad day at all. Our 12:45 PM temperature is 43°F (6°C), the humidity is 42%, and winds are from the N at 5-9 mph. The pressure is 30.00 in (1015.9 mb) and falling. The dew point is 19°F (-7°C) and visibility is 10…
The south continues to have devastating storms while we are enjoying calm and a little sun this morning. Temperatures have cooled off considerably but we knew that was coming. I just found out that some friends in Byron lost a large barn in Sunday’s storms. There were 200 cattle inside, and thanks to family and friends, all cattle were rescued. Yesterday brought strong winds but otherwise was decent. I think we have enough rain for awhile. Our 1 PM temperature…
Between the ice storm to our north, and the severe weather to our south, I feel very fortunate this morning. although we had rain all day yesterday, and some rumbles of thunder, nothing major happened here. We received just under 2 inches of rain. There were 9 confirmed tornadoes on Sunday although most of them were quite weak. It was nothing compared to what the states to our south had to endure. Looking at the national weather map, it appears…
We began our day with thunder and moderate to heavy rain. This is going to be an eye to the sky day as severe weather is knocking on our door once again. People up north are in a desperate situation as 1.5″ of ice covers everything, and many tree branches are snapping. Our governor has finally sent in the national guard to help rescue those trapped in their homes. 95% of northern Michigan is still without power. Many pictures are…
It looks like tomorrow could be a repeat of Sunday. Once again, there is a slight risk for severe weather and many have not recovered yet from Sunday. So far, there are 4 confirmed tornadoes and some are still being investigated. As for us, we lost a tree but it was half dead anyway. The strange thing is that temps are expected to rise tomorrow just enough to fuel these storms. Then temps will fall into the 30s again with…
What else can I say? Michigan is a mess right now. Severe ice storms have all but paralyzed northern Michigan, and severe thunderstorms have put many in the dark here in southern Michigan. We, as well as many others, were under tornado warnings and many are without power this morning. The system that caused havoc with us is now over the eastern states. They can have it! We lost a tree but still have power. I’m thankful for that. Our…
