Mid Michigan Weather

Heavy rain moved into our area late last night dumping 0.63 inches in my area.  Some areas received over an inch.  There is another round coming later today, and with falling temps, it could change to snow especially tonight.  There is no significant accumulation expected however.  This morning has become a bit foggy since I got up but temperatures are mild and it is misting.  Yesterday afternoon saw a little sun late in the day but we probably won’t see…

What can I say except that this is a very normal November morning for Mid Michigan.  We have cloudy skies and temps slightly above freezing.  Highs will be near the normal range and no precip is in the forecast for today although I’m seeing snow on the radar.  Thanksgiving Day is this coming week and there are no significant weather systems expected to affect us anytime soon.  That’s a good thing for anyone who plans to travel in our area. …

This looks to be another not very nice day for Michiganders.   Strong winds picked up overnight and this morning is quite blustery.    The forecast is calling for a little sun later today but that won’t do much to warm it up with the winds as they are.  I guess I won’t complain though.  We could be buried in snow. Our 8 AM EST temp is 36.3°F (3°C),  the humidity is 62%, and winds are from the west at 14 mph,…

Today will be a very wet and cold day.  As the radar shows, there is a large mass of precip over our state, and rain with some snow mixed in is expected to last most of the day and night.  Yesterday was fantastic with sun all day and temps reaching 50°F.  We got a lot done in the yard, things which we didn’t quite get to earlier in the season.  Today is the first day of rifle deer season here…

Our Tuesday Morning is bright and cheerful, but we better enjoy it because it won’t last.  We have gloomy days in our forecast for the remainder of the week.  At least our temperature is expected to be around normal for a change.  Yesterday was cloudy all day but no precipitation.  Today will be a nice one and I fully intend to make the most of it. Our 9:30 AM temperature is 36°F (2°C), the humidity is 87%, and skies are…

Sunday brought cloudy skies and snow changing to rain late in the day.  Since I had to work, I really didn’t care.  We won’t see much sun today either, but at least temps will be a little warmer.  It’s amazing how many trees are still holding onto their leaves.  Usually they are all bare by now.  Even my lilac bushes still look like it’s summer.  Very unusual for this time of year.  Everyone’s Burning Bushes are red but mine are…

Our Sunday morning is calm but conditions will change as the day wears on.  We are expecting a mixed bag of precipitation today with rain, snow, and possibly a little freezing rain.  It won’t be a good day to be out and about.  Although there isn’t a lot of snow expected, it will be just enough to make the roads a bit greasy.   Our Veteran’s Day wasn’t bad and we had no precipitation in my area.  Some areas near Detroit…

Yesterday we broke a record for the coldest high temp for Nov. 10.  The old record was 28°F and yesterday’s high was only 24°F.  That isn’t exactly the kind of record that we like to see, but at least we will see a little warmup starting today.  It was sunny most of the day but that didn’t do much to warm it up  We still have a trace of snow on the deck, but that will be gone by tonight….

To look out the window, it looks absolutely beautiful out there, but on stepping outdoors, reality sets in.  It was only 13° when I got up this morning and it hasn’t warmed up much since then.   On the positive side, skies are clear and we have sunshine for a change.  Yesterday was  dreary, wet and windy.  Late last night we had snow showers and the ground was starting to get covered, but by this morning, most of it was gone. …

Yesterday was gorgeous but very chilly.  I don’t mind the cold as long as the sun shines.  Today will be much the same  We had a heavy frost this morning and I don’t expect my remaining flowers to have survived.  I’m seeing reports on Facebook that the northern lights were visible in the Midland area last night.  I didn’t venture outdoors so don’t know if we could see them here. Our 8:15 AM temp is 26.2°F (-3°C), the humidity is…
