We are blessed with yet another fine autumn day. Temperatures will be mild and there should be a lot of sun. I can’t remember an autumn that has given us so many mild, dry days and I love it. This is my favorite time of year anyway. The temperature dipped down to the freezing mark last night, and we had a heavy frost. Our trees are just about bare now, although those that still have leaves are more brown than…
After a sunny, very warm yesterday, clouds moved in late and a few drops of rain fell. We only got 0:03″, hardly enough to matter, and just enough to get the deck wet. This morning is still mostly cloudy and the chance for rain remains. The rest of this week will be more seasonable but the seventies are still in our forecast for early next week. Our 11 AM temp is 61°F, the humidity is 77%, and winds are from…
We won’t be seeing temps this warm again for a while. It’s beautiful but much cooler weather is knocking on our door. There is still very little rain in our forecast and wildfires are a possibility. Our sky has been clear up until now, but I’m seeing some clouds moving in from the west. There is a chance for some rain tonight but very slight. Our 3 PM temperature is 75°F (24°C), the humidity is 38%, and skies are partly…
It feels like a summer day out there. Temps are in the 80s with a warm breeze. I’d love to have days like this all winter but I know that’s asking too much. Ryan Hall, a YouTube weather analyst, says that we’ll have a record warm Halloween this year. That will sure be a change from the past four. Regardless, I’ll just enjoy what we have today. Our 4 PM temperature is 80°F (27°C), the humidity is 37%, and winds…
Once again, we have a gorgeous weekend to enjoy before winter-type weather is upon us. This autumn has been extraordinary for Michigan in terms of weather. Usually this is a rainy season for us, and rain has been scarce this year. It’s actually a good thing for the farmers as they are busy cutting the corn and soy beans. We are certainly fortunate compared to what other parts of the country are going through. Our 10:15 AM temperature is 61°F…
Once again, we have clear skies and temps much warmer than normal. I’m certainly not complaining and would love a few days in the 70s all through winter. We know that won’t happen . . . .but it could. This has been a strange autumn with summer not wanting to let go, or so it seems. In fact, our temperatures aren’t expected to get back to normal until Thursday. It will be balmy and nice until then. No rain expected…
Our warm weather has returned and we should have plenty of sun today. We are almost at peak color but many trees are already bare. The dry weather took it’s tole on our autumn colors. We are expecting another round of unseasonably dry weather with no rain in the forecast until Wednesday. Last night brought another frost to go with the beautiful harvest moon, and that should do it for frosty nights for a while. Our 1:30 PM temperature is…
After a frosty night, this morning is sunny and feeling quite warm in spite of what the thermometer says. Today will be much warmer than the past two and temps should reach well into the 60s this afternoon. Extended forecast maps are all showing Michigan to have a mild winter, so we’ll see if that holds true. We haven’t had a hard winter in quite a few years so we’re overdo. Our 11:30 AM temperature is 53°F (12°C), the humidity…
Yesterday felt cold, even with a jacket on. Today won’t be much better but we could see more sun. Warmer weather is on the way for the weekend but we have to accept the fact that these warm days won’t last much longer. Bow season for deer began October 1, so we’re seeing hunters in various parts of the woods and fields around here. We let our one neighbor hunt our property, and he usually gets one every year. My…
Today is much cooler than yesterday. Temperatures this morning were in the 30s although I didn’t see any evidence of frost. I brought my hanging plants in anyway. Tonight will be another cold one but then temps will begin to moderate once again by Thursday. Mother Nature is breaking us in to the winter season gradually. Our 2:45 PM temperature is 51°F, the humidity is 52%, and skies are partly cloudy. Winds are from the north at 4-7 mph, and…
