Today could bring some heavy weather to the mid sections of our country. Northern Michigan is expecting a significant ice storm which will cause havoc for travelers today and tomorrow. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Mackinaw bridge is closed for a while. As for us, we could see thunderstorms this afternoon with a very slight chance that some could be severe. This threat will continue through the weekend. Right now, we have cloudy skies and a few peeks of…
Our morning was sunny and bright. Now the clouds have moved in and there is a fine mist in the air. This wasn’t supposed to happen. It was supposed to be a nice day. Conditions are getting very dry here, and we could use a good rain, but not what we’re getting. At least temps have warmed up back to average. Our 3:15 PM temperature is 54°F, the humidity is 44% and skies are overcast. Winds are from the west…
It seems good to see the sun again, even though we won’t get much warmth from it today. I’m not seeing any precip in our forecast until Friday night, and we actually need a good rain. Temperatures will continue to rise into the weekend, when we should see highs reaching into the 60s. Don’t expect it to last, however. Our 12:45 PM temperature is 37°F (3°C), the humidity is 52%, and winds are from the W at 6-12 mph. The…
After a cold, blustery Monday, today will see a little improvement, but our high temps will remain below average. The wind won’t be as strong but still enough to give a significant wind chill. We had a little rain/snow mix but no accumulation. There was enough to leave 0.02″ in my rain gauge however. Our 10:30 AM temperature is 35°F (2°C), the humidity is 64%, and skies are mostly cloudy. Winds are from the west at 8-17 mph, and the…
Today we have to deal with cold and very windy conditions. On the positive side, warmer temps will be with us once again by the weekend. Yesterday brought rain early, which then turned to wet snow. Although the snow at times seemed quite heavy, it melted right away, so no accumulations. There was 0.14″ in my rain gauge. Now the sun is trying to shine through the overcast. Our 11:15 AM temp is 36°F (2°C), the humidity is 75% and…
Our seasonal weather continues. Temps aren’t expected to make it out of the 40s today and we could see some rain or snow late this afternoon. It will be a bit breezy but not too bad. We had sun most of yesterday but temperatures were in the 40s all day. Our 12:30 PM temperature is 38°F (3°C), the humidity is 64% and winds are from the SE at 3-9 mph. The pressure is 30.04 in (1018.0 mb) and steady The…
We woke to a few snow pellets on our deck and below freezing temperatures. Since then, it has warmed up a little but still below the comfortable level. Skies look like they are attempting to clear with some breaks in the cloud cover. It isn’t even expected to reach 40F, so winter coats are back. Our 12 noon temperature is 33°F, the humidity is 53%, and winds are from the NW at 10-22 mph. The wind chill is 23°F and…
Today doesn’t look too bad weather-wise. Highs will be a little above average and we should see quite a bit of sun. We had snow showers early yesterday but it all melted as it hit the ground. Then there was a little sun in the afternoon. It was cold as temperatures fell throughout the day. Our 12 noon temperature is 42°F (6°C), the humidity is 55%, and skies are mostly clear. Winds are from the south at 7-13 mph, and…
After summer-like weather on Wednesday, we are back to winter once again. Actually, I should say back to normal. Our teaser weather seems to be over for the remainder of the month. States to our south were plagued with severe weather, but by the time the storms reached us, they were no more than showers. It’s dark and dreary now, but we could see some clearing later. Our 9:30 AM temperature is 37°F, the humidity is 95%. Winds are from…
Our Wednesday is beginning warm and tranquil, but we do have the chance of some heavy thunderstorms late. We aren’t in the severe weather area, but close enough. The reason is that there is another strong cold front knocking on our door. We could even see snow tomorrow. This is typical for March in Michigan with these temperature swings. but hey usually aren’t this drastic. Our 11:15 AM temperature is 62°F (17°C), the humidity is 48%, and skies are partly…
