Yesterday was just as nice as Thursday was awful. We lucked out here in northern Michigan, as well as at home. Our total rainfall at home was 0.84 inches while the mid portions of lower Michigan recorded as much ass 8 inches from this storm. There are many closed roads due to flooding and some were even totally washed out. My relatives at the Stoney Point cabins recorded an inch total. Mother Nature, however, made up for it yesterday with temps reaching the mid 70s, low humidity, and clear skies all day. There is more rain in the forecast for late Saturday and into Sunday, and we hope that it is nothing like what we had on Thursday.
Our 9 am temp here in Topinabee is 60°F, the humidity is 77%, and winds are from the west at 8 mph. The dew point is 53°F and visibility is 10 miles. The pressure is 29.76 in and steady. Yesterday’s high was 77°F and the overnight low was 52°F. Sunrise was at 5:50 AM EDT and sunset will be at 9:31 PM EDT.
