It seems good to see the sun again, and highs should reach the mid 60s this afternoon. Yesterday was dreary and damp, but no precip. There is no rain in our forecast until mid week, and I think that makes everyone happy. Our 12:30 PM temperature is 60°F, the humidity is 53%, and skies are mostly clear. Winds are from the ESE at 6-11 mph, and the pressure is 30.04 in and steady. The dew point is 40°F and visibility…
The morning began with clear skies, but by noon, clouds were thickening. We were in Detroit, and I knew that rain was in the forecast for this afternoon. I hoped that we made it home before the storms. Well, we almost made it. By 2:30 we were in Holly and we drove through a hard sprinkle. By the time we reached east of Durand, it was like the sky opened up and it was like driving through a car wash. …
It looks like today will be a perfect weather day. We have clear skies, light winds, and very comfortable temperatures. The flood situation in our northern counties is improving although it will take a lot of time and money to repair all the damage. Our governor has declared it a disaster area, so they’ll get some state funding. We aren’t expecting are rain for the next few days, so that will help with drying out the fields. Our 12:45 PM…

It seemed good to wake up to sun and clear skies this morning. We had a frost warning but I don’t think that there was any frost. It really doesn’t matter to me anyway. I never plant this early. Yesterday brought intermittent rain/snow showers and some clearing. It was very windy, but much calmer today. Our 12 noon temperature is 41°F, the humidity is 35% and winds are from the NW at 2-9 mph. The pressure is 30.33 in and…
Today brought a little of every type of weather. It was sunny to start out, then it clouded up and we got a few drops of rain which became a light snow shower. We now have a mix of sun and clouds and plenty of wind to go with it. Temperatures are chilly and with the wind, it feels even colder. Our 3:30 PM temperature is 49°F, the humidity is 40%, and skies are partly cloudy. Winds are from the…

We are beginning another significant cool-down which has caused this latest round of tornadic weather. There were 8 confirmed tornadoes from Tuesday night state wide. One of them was 5 miles away from us, but only an EF0. That’s bad enough. Other than tornadoes, there was a lot of wind and hail damage. The warm weather is always nice, but too often, this is the result. At least it’s really opening the buds on trees and bushes. Our 4:15 PM…
After a very stormy night, this morning still brought some light rain. We received over an inch of rain in Tuesday’s storms. They began moving into the state in late afternoon, then continued through the overnight. There was intense lightning, a few tornadoes, and a lot of damaging wind. We were under a tornado warning for about an hour late last night, but we were lucky once again. These storms just added to the flooding and many dams in the…
