We have a little reprieve from severe weather for a few days, but then another round is expected on Tuesday. It isn’t clear how much will affect Michigan but I hope that those affected by the tornadoes on Friday, don’t get hit again. Southwest Michigan is busy cleaning up the mess from the damage in ‘Three Rivers and Union City. This next system looks like it will stay to the states south of us, but that’s what they thought about…
Although we knew that there was the possibility of severe weather, the tornadoes that struck the southwest corner of our state yesterday came as a shock. There were four deaths and numerous injuries. Looking at videos of the damage, I’m guessing that it was probably an EF3 or 4. As for us, we had a lot of rain and plenty of lightning, although there were no close lightning strikes. Three Rivers, MI got the worst of it. We should get…
After a very wet Thursday, today looks to be much the same. We are expecting heavy rain and even a slight possibility for severe weather. We had almost half an inch of rainfall yesterday with much pooling in the fields, indicating an existing frost line. The next three days will be very warm with highs reaching much above average. Our 10:45 AM temperature is 44°F, the humidity is 95%, and skies are overcast with light fog. Winds are from the…
We have rain, sometimes heavy, along with fog today. This could last most of the day and temperatures are much cooler than yesterday. At least we’re getting rain and not snow. Temperatures will rebound tomorrow with highs expected near 60°F. These warm temps should remain most of this week. Our 3 PM temperature is 40°F, the humidity is 92%, and winds are from the NE at 3-6 mph. The pressure is 29.87 in and falling. The dew point is 38°F…
c Today is wonderful!!. Temps are in the 50s and there is hardly any wind. For early March, it can’t be beat. Skies have been clear this morning, but light clouds have moved in for the afternoon; but not enough to block the sun. This entire week will have above average temperatures, so we’ll enjoy while it lasts. Our 4 PM temperature is 54°F, the humidity is 48%, and winds are from the SE at 4-6 mph. The pressure is…
Today begins a significant warmup with highs in the 60s possible by the weekend. Today is still on the chilly side, and most of our snow is gone except for s few isolated places. We won’t see much sun over the next several days, and we could see some light rain this afternoon. Our 1:30 PM temperature is 44°F, the humidity is 57% and skies are overcast. Winds are from the east at 2-5 mph and the pressure is 29.98…
Today begins a significant warmup for us and will continue through next weekend. In fact, we could see record breaking high temperatures on Friday and Saturday. Unfortunately, it could also bring severe storms to areas of the midwest and south. Today will bring highs above freezing and that should melt quite a bit of our snow. We did lose a little yesterday because the sun was out but temperatures never reached above freezing. Our 1:45 PM temperature is 32°F, the…
Yesterday began with clear skies, then clouds and snow by evening. We had another two inches on the ground this morning and temperatures won’t quite make it to the freezing mark. There is thawing, however, with the clear skies that we have today. We have a significant warmup coming by weeks end and we could see highs in the 60s. Forty degree weather will be here from Tuesday on. Our 3:30 PM temperature is 23°F, the humidity is 46%, and…
Yesterday was one where Mother Nature is telling us that winter is coming to an end, but not just yet. This morning still feels spring-like but it won’t last long. In fact, snow is in the forecast for this afternoon and tonight. At least, this time of year, you know that it won’t last long. Our 10AM temperature is 33°F, the humidity is 56%, and skies are mostly clear. Winds are from the north at 2-9 mph and the pressure…
We lost quite a bit of snow yesterday and today, even though temperatures weren’t that warm. With the sun out, it makes a difference. We are supposed to have a substantial warmup next week, so the snow that is here now will probably be gone. By the first of March, most of us are tired of it anyway. Our 3:30 PM temperature is 33°F, the humidity is 47%, and skies are partly cloudy. Winds are from the south at 4-11…
