It’s the middle of September and I’m seeing no color in the trees or bushes. That’s very unusual for this late in September. Usually we start seeing some of the leaves changing in late August. This year it still looks like June. It’ll be interesting to see what winter brings this year. Our 1:45 PM temperature is 65°F, the humidity 47%, and skies are clear. Winds are NNW at 2-4 mph, and the pressure is 30.19 in and falling. The…
Today will be perfect by my standards. There is no rain in the forecast with just a slight chance tomorrow, and temperatures will only rise into the upper 70s today. This is why I love autumn in Michigan. It’s my favorite season. Our 11 AM temperature is 68°F, the humidity is 75%, and winds are from the east at 0-2 mph. The pressure is 29.99 in and steady. The dew point is 56°F and visibility is 10 miles. Yesterday’s high…

Our day began with temps in the low 50s but have now made it into the mid 70s. That’s perfect weather for me. This is our last summer holiday and the weather couldn’t be nicer.

The state is recovering from severe weather on Thursday. Many are still without power, and the Detroit area is cleaning up from two tornadoes and 70 mph straight line winds. The straight line winds did as much damage as the tornadoes. Today is feeling much more comfortable after high humidity and dew points from earlier in the week. We’re hoping that the hot weather is over for the season. Our 1:15 PM temperature is 74°F, the humidity is 59%, and…
Wednesday and Thursday brought severe weather to our state, but yesterday was worse. Southern Michigan really got slammed especially the Detroit area. My area had a lot of rain but nothing really severe. There is still a slight chance for more today, although radar isn’t showing much, and what there is seems to be sliding to our south. We received just under two inches of rain the past two days, and I think we have enough for a while. Our…
Storms began late yesterday and continued overnight. The severe storms remained to our north and south, but we did get little over half and inch of rain by this morning. We now have more storms forming over the state but there have been no weather warnings for our area. A tornado warning has just been issued for Gratiot county which is to our northwest. Our 2 PM temperature is 80°F, the humidity is 84%, and skies are overcast. Winds are…
Once again, we have another hot, very humid day.

Today is the beginning of meteorological autumn. After a rainy past two days, today is hot and dry once again. The humidity and dew points are both high, so being outdoors is very uncomfortable. We received little over half an inch of rain the past two days. I’m hoping that this will be the last of our 90 degree weather. The humming birds have been very active lately, so I think that their migration time is very near. I’m no…
