Mid Michigan Weather

We had cloudy skies but warm temps first thing this morning.  Now there is light rain moving in from the southeast and temperatures are falling.  I think we’ve seen our high for the day.  Yesterday was beautiful with summer-like temperatures and windows were open all night.  We aren’t expecting anymore dry weather until Thursday.  They are also warning of possible severe weather late Thursday.  Hopefully we’ll be spared. Our 3 PM temperature is 70°F (21°C), the humidity is 83%, and…

It is very warm today, and even the wind coming in my windows feels like the furnace is on.  I’m not complaining.  It feels really good after the up and down temps that we’ve lately.  Unfortunately, we are expecting more storms on Thursday.  We have to expect that when it gets this warm this early in the year.  We have a mix of sun and clouds right now but there is no precip in the forecast. Our 2:15 pm temperature…

We couldn’t have nicer weather for Mother’s Day.  All my kids are home and we sat outdoors yesterday, then a cookout for dinner.  Today will be just as nice but a bit cooler.  It will still be comfortable. Our 10 AM temperature is 55°F, the humidity is 51%, and skies are clear.  Winds are from the NE at 2-6 mph, and the pressure is 30.28 in and rising.  The dew point is 37°F and visibility is 10 miles.  Yesterday’s high…

Yesterday was perfect with plenty of sun and clear skies most of the day.  Then in the early evening, a thunderstorm developed just to our west, and we received another 0.18″ of rain from it.  It was a bit of a surprise and just happened suddenly.  Regardless, I think we have enough rain for a while.  Today, we have mostly clear skies with a few scattered clouds, but temperatures are much cooler.  Still not a bad day. Our 11:30 AM…

After 3 days of wet, cool weather, we have sun and warm temperatures today.  Our total rainfall since Sunday is 1.33 inches.  That’s a good watering for the newly planted fields in our area.  I’m hearing that parts of our state are having drought conditions, so I hope that they benefited from some of this rain. Our 2 PM temperature is 73°F (23°C), the humidity is 47%, and skies are mostly clear.  Winds are from the west at 4-9 mph,…

The rain began overnight, and has continued through the morning hours.  We are getting a break now but I don’t think it will last long.  It is coming right out of the north as it circles the low pressure center to our southeast.  The good  thing is that temps are quite mild, so not a bad day to be out and about as long as you dodge the raindrops.  The rain is expected to continue until tonight, then tomorrow look…

We received over an inch of much needed rain over the past two days.  Everything is nice and green and the grass is growing.  Spring blossoms are out on all the flowering trees, and many birds are visiting my bird feeders.  I haven’t seen any hummingbirds yet but I’m sure that they’ll be here soon.  Yesterday was wet and gloomy but  there hasn’t been any rain so far today, although there is more rain in our forecast for tonight. Our…

We had clear skies this morning, but now rain is moving in from the southeast.  That doesn’t often happen.  We aren’t expecting much until overnight.  Then we may see amounts of up to three quarters of an inch.  Most of the farmers already have their planting done, so this rain is coming at a very good time. Our 3:15 PM temp is 57°F, the humidity is 59% and skies are cloudy with sprinkles. Winds are from the north at 2-11…

Yesterday was quite nice with a mix of sun and clouds.  Winds were light so pleasant to be outdoors.  This morning began with cloudy skies but now there are some breaks in the clouds and the sun manages to make a showing although briefly.  There is no rain expected until tomorrow although highs will remain below average.  I got my summer bird feeding station set up for the summer birds.  An oriole made an appearance at the suet cake but…
