Mid Michigan Weather

Today is sunny but cooler than yesterday.  We also have a fairly strong breeze which keeps it feeling uncomfortably chilly if you aren’t wearing a jacket.  This weather is expected to continue until the latter part of the week.  Then we should really start feeling like autumn.  Temperatures will struggle to reach 50°F by next weekend.  We are seeing more colors developing on bushes and trees, and against the blue sky, it’s peaceful.  Just received a message that we have…

October couldn’t have come in any better than it did.  We could see highs near 70F today but winds are expected to be quite brisk.  This weather will probably only last another week or so as I’m seeing highs only in the 40s two weeks from now.  I guess we have to expect that as autumn moves on.  Our Fall season has been wonderful this year, so we really shouldn’t complain. Our 1:30 PM temperature is 66F, the humidity is…

Our weather is shaping up to be a great start for the first of October.  We are getting into the frost season and it won’t be long until the summer flowers will all be gone.  My Mums are all open and will resist the frost as will the roses.  Once they’re gone, then it will be snow season.  I’m not looking forward to that but I am looking forward to being back on standard time.  My body has never adjusted…

Yesterday was dreary and cold.  It really set the mood for following Hurricane Ian on YouTube, riding along with the storm chasers.  I have many relatives and friends in Florida and I’m still concerned for those that I haven’t heard from yet.  Unfortunately, some are in the Fort Myers area.  My sister/brother-in-law who owns and runs the cabins in Cheboygan, were very concerned about their home in New Port Richey, and their daughter who lives in Tampa.  It was big…

We had intermittent rain showers yesterday which produced 0.18″ of rain.  Today is turning out to be much the same.  We did start the day with some sun, but it didn’t last long.  Temperatures are a little cooler today with highs only reaching the mid 50s.  We’re making up for those above-average temps that we had most of September.  I’ve been watching coverage of Hurricane Ian as it moves closer to the west coast of Florida.  I have quite a…

Temperatures aren’t expected to even reach 60F today, and this will continue for the next 3 days.  At least we don’t have to worry about a hurricane, although some weather gurus are saying that it could head in our direction later on.  I’m feeling anxious for the people in Florida right now.  My In-laws, who have the cabins in Cheboygan, live just north of Tampa and they are getting ready to close the cabins for the year and head back…

It’s as if Mother Nature decided that now that summer is officially over, we should be getting fall weather.  No more warm temperatures for us!  We went from AC weather to running the furnace almost overnight.  Local forecasters are even telling us that they don’t see any warmth coming anytime soon.  So I guess it’s time to brace ourselves for what we know is coming.  I’m still hoping for some nice, sunny days, even if we have to wear jackets. …

Yesterday brought thunderstorms which lasted from 5 PM to near 10 PM.  There was one after another with a lot of lightning, some striking very close to us.  Heavy rainfall left 1.35″ in my gauge this morning.  This morning, we had another line of storms develop, following the same path as last night, but they fell apart before reaching us.  We were under a severe TS watch for awhile.  Right now it is cloudy and breezy, but very warm.  This…

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…
