Spring Has Arrived In Mid Michigan

Spring Has Arrived In Mid Michigan

Mother Nature is finally giving us some seasonable weather.  Yesterday was sunny but chilly.  Today, we could see 70°F for the first time in a while.  Tomorrow will be even better with highs expected in the upper 70s to low 80s.  Unfortunately, I have to work both today and tomorrow but I can still enjoy most of today.  As always, the hot weather brings the threat of severe weather and we have already been warned that’s a possibility by mid…

Below Normal Temps Once Again in Mid Michigan

Below Normal Temps Once Again in Mid Michigan

It is very chilly once again here in Michigan but at least we know that it won’t last past this weekend.   Forecasts for next week show us above average most days.  It is getting very dry and we really need some rain.  All the showers yesterday stayed well to our north and all we got was a few sprinkles.  Today is beginning with clouds but we should see the sun by afternoon.  Highs aren’t expected to rise much above 50°F…

Warmer Temps Usher In Another Cool Down – Mid Michigan

Warmer Temps Usher In Another Cool Down – Mid Michigan

We seem to be having a very hard time warming up this spring.   Temperatures just can’t seem to remain at or near normal.  All the flowers are late and almost no leaves appearing on bushes and trees yet.   At this rate, they won’t be out until mid May.  Yesterday and Wednesday were beautiful with highs in the upper 60s to low 70s.  Unfortunately, we won’t see that again for a few days as more cold air is descending down from…

Cloudy With Rain in the Forecast – Mid Michigan

Cloudy With Rain in the Forecast – Mid Michigan

Yesterday was almost like a summer day with our high temp reaching the low 70s.  I got to sleep with my window open last night for the first time this year.  Today, however, will be back to the 50s again and rain.  They graded our road yesterday and it is now very dusty,  so I hope we do get enough to knock down the dust anyway.  Radar isn’t looking too promising right now with most well to our north. Our…

Today’s weather will be perfect with highs near 70°F and plenty of sun.  Unfortunately the rest of the week won’t be as nice.  There will be another cool down but not like earlier this month.  We could also see some rain later in the week but at least it isn’t snow.

Magnificent Weather (Finally) in Mid Michigan

Magnificent Weather (Finally) in Mid Michigan

“Oh what a beautiful morning” as the song says, but this is Michigan and not Oklahoma and our weekend weather is spectacular.  Yesterday saw clear skies although there were a few cloudy hours in the afternoon.  Skies cleared again in the evening and into the night.  The high temp was in the normal range for this date and it was pleasant to be outdoors.   My dogs love it and are asking to go out often through the day. Our 10…

More Spring-Like weather Ahead For Mid Michigan

We have another beautiful, sunny morning.  Yesterday looked nice as skies remained clear all day,  but north winds made it a bit uncomfortable to be out there.  Regardless, it sure was nice to see the sun for a change.  Today should also be clear and winds won’t be as strong, but we will see a few more clouds .  Also, temps will be in the normal range for a change. Our 9 AM temp is 38°F (3°C), the humidity is…

Finally, Some Decent Weather For Mid Michigan

Finally, Some Decent Weather For Mid Michigan

We received about an inch of snow overnight but it is melting quickly with the sun.  We are expecting a lovely day with clear skies and highs in the upper 40s.  Yes, it should be about 10 degrees warmer than that, but considering what we have had, I’ll take it.  Forecasts are calling for an increase in temps everyday right through early next week with highs at or slightly above normal by Tuesday.  Maybe spring is finally here. Our 9:30…

Finally, Some Warmer Weather in Mid Michigan

Finally, Some Warmer Weather in Mid Michigan

Today is the start of warmer temperatures which should finally be in the normal range by the weekend.  This weather is depressing.  Not only is it cold but cloudy and wet as well.  Our high temps last year at this time were in the mid to upper 70s, and this year we can’t even reach the normal low for our high temp.    Yesterday was the first in six days that we didn’t receive any measurable precip.  Maybe we are finally…

Hopefully, The Finale of Winter Has Arrived – Mid Michigan

Hopefully, The Finale of Winter Has Arrived – Mid Michigan

Our forecast is calling for much warmer and sunny weather for the weekend.  That is certainly good news after what we have had.  Yesterday was cold and windy with sporadic rain and snow showers.  Today the sun is trying to make a showing between the clouds but don’t know how long that will last.  Once again we have strong winds and highs aren’t expected to rise out of the 30s.  But that will chance starting tomorrow.  We still have a…
