We haven’t had any rain yet, but the radar is showing it getting very close. The remainder of my flowers would greatly appreciate it. Rain has been sparse this month, and that’s a bit strange for September in Michigan. It’s looking like we’ll definitely get some, but how much is the big question. Today and tomorrow will be the last of the summer-like temps, probably for the remainder of the year. Thunderstorms are in the forecast for tomorrow as the…
Southern portions of the state saw some hefty thunderstorms overnight, but we weren’t that lucky. I am seeing some lightning strikes on my weather station but all we got in rain was 0.01″. Some areas received up to an inch. Today is anything but stormy with plenty of sun and a few clouds floating by. Temperatures are expected to be a little above average and it should be a nice summer-like day, probably one of the last. The remainder of…
We will have temperatures in the low to mid 80s these next few days, then I’m pretty sure they’ll be gone for the year. But being Michigan, one never knows. Today is beautiful with clear skies and just enough breeze to keep it comfortable. This is supposed to last through Tuesday, then Wednesday it will start feeling like fall. We had a shower pass over last night giving us 0.09″ of rain, barely enough to wet the surface, and there…
This morning is absolutely lovely but I’m hearing that big changes will be coming next week. This weather can certainly spoil you, but we know what’s ahead. I’m seeing changes in the foliage with a little more color every day. Pictures being posted from northern Michigan are showing almost peak color in the UP already. It will be a while for that to happen here. A local meteorologist is saying that there will be more northern lights in the next…
Just when we think that the AC weather is over for the year, Mother Nature sends more hot air our way. I’m not really complaining as long as it isn’t humid. We also have a stretch of dry weather which is a bit unusual for September in Michigan. This is usually our rainy season. Regardless, I’m loving it and hope it lasts well into October. Our 12:45 PM temperature is 78°F, the humidity is 66%, and winds are from the…
Today is the first that we have noticed some of the trees having colored leaves. It seems a bit late to me as we usually see this in late August. But that’s a sure sign that autumn is really here. Temperatures will be close to average and there is no rain in the forecast. It is supposed to be sunny today and that hasn’t happened so far. It does seem a little brighter than is was earlier, so I have…
After a few very fall-like days, summer weather seems to be returning once again. Temps will reach the 80s by the weekend and early next week. The humidity will be low so it will be great for anyone doing end of summer traveling or vacations. I have some bushes that need trimming so this will be ideal for that. The nights have been getting quite chilly, almost too chilly to have the windows open. In fact, we ran the furnace…
The rains came late yesterday. We received a little over half and inch from late afternoon into the overnight. It was badly needed. Radar is showing rain moving around a low pressure center located over southern Lake Michigan, so we could see even more rain later today. The sun has peeked out a few times but didn’t last long, and now it is gloomy once again. What’s most noticeable are the temperatures. They are much below average today and will…
Showers and a few thunderstorms moved across the eastern half of lower Michigan last night, but we didn’t get anything here. This morning began with a few sprinkles and cloudy skies but no significant rain so far. Radar is keeping us hopeful that we’ll get a good rainfall yet today. According to the forecast, it should happen. Our 12:30 PM temperature is 70°F, the humidity is 95%, and skies are overcast. Winds are calm. The dew point is 66°F and…
Skies were clear this morning, but now mostly cloudy skies have appeared. We do have rain in our forecast for this afternoon and we really could use it. The lawn is getting brown again. Today should be the warmest that we’ll see for awhile with highs expected in the mid 80s. Next week should be much cooler with some days possibly not even reaching 70°F. I’m ready for it. Our 12:30 PM temperature is 81°F, the humidity is 67%, and…
