A Strange Weather System . . . .

A Strange Weather System . . . .

As the weather map shows, the severe weather is not expected to reach as far north as us, but  we could get high winds comparable to a severe thunderstorm tonight.  Gusts up to 70 mph will not be uncommon.  We could see rain but the wind is expected to happen after the storms have passed.  This will truly be a strange scenario. Our 1:30 PM temperature is 70°F, the humidity is 38%, and skies have a light cloudy cover with…

An Afternoon Deluge . . . .

An Afternoon Deluge . . . .

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. …

Sunny And Warm . . . .

Sunny And Warm . . . .

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…

Sunny But Still Chilly . . . .

Sunny But Still Chilly . . . .

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…

A Little Bit Of Everything . . . .

A Little Bit Of Everything . . . .

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…

Quiet After The Storms . . . .

Quiet After The Storms . . . .

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…
