After 2 days of rain, today’s skies are clear although temperatures are below normal. We received 0.22″ of rain yesterday early in the day. Then the afternoon turned mostly sunny and this should continue through the weekend. Our 10 AM temperature is 63°F (17°C), the humidity is 46% and skies are clear. Winds are from the NW at 5-11 mph and the dew point is 45°F (7°C). The pressure is 30.01 in (1016.3 mb) and rising. Visibility is 10 miles. …
Today is starting out with light to moderate rain and temperatures much cooler than what we have had. There was only 0.08″ in my rain gauge at 9 AM, but we have had heavier rain showers since then. Northern Michigan received flooding rain amounts yesterday, mainly Traverse City, but we had just a few off and on sprinkles throughout the day. We just can’t seem to get a break from this rain lately. We are told that it is from…
Rain is something that we don’t need, but there seems to be no end to it. The forecast is calling for up to an inch of precip over the next few days. Storms formed yesterday afternoon, but all we got was a few sprinkles and it is sprinkling out right now. Our hot weather appears to be over for now, and highs will only make it into the 60s this weekend. our 9:15 AM temperature is 71F (22C), the humidity…
Highs reached near 90F yesterday and a few storms developed, but we only had a few sprinkles here. It’s amazing that we haven’t turned the AC off over the past 3 days, and it looks like we’ll be needing the furnace again come the weekend. This weather is crazy! Our 8:45 AM temperature is 73F (23C), the humidity is 81%, and winds are calm. The pressure is 29.92 in (1013.2 mb) and steady. The dew point is 67F (19C) and…
A very warm day led to some afternoon thunderstorms on Saturday. We barely caught the edge of them, and there was only 0.08″ in my rain gauge this morning. Today will be another hot day with highs expected to reach near 90F. Next weekend will bring yet another cold front with highs on some days only reaching the upper 60s. This weather seems to be having a stability problem. Why can’t we just have temps around 80F and stay there?…
There was 0.38″ of rain in my gauge which was a bit of a surprise. The areas around me didn’t record nearly that much, and we sure didn’t need it. I see that there are new flood warnings up for the Saginaw-Bay City area, as if they need that. My husband managed to get the lawn mowed yesterday in spite of intermittent sprinkles throughout the day. I’m seeing people in the town of Sanford trying to deal with the devastation…
Friday was a drizzly, damp day but at least it was warm. Today is looking to be better although there are still a lot of clouds. There is filtered sun shining through and it’s warm enough to go out without a coat. Winds are very light and almost calm. Our forecast is calling for more sun this afternoon and highs climbing into the upper 70s. We’ll take it! Our 11:15 AM temperature is 71F (22C), the humidity is 66%, and…
Our day is beginning with clouds but very nice temperatures. I was able to sleep with my window open last night and that was wonderful. I felt a few sprinkles when I went out earlier but we aren’t expecting any great amounts of rain today. That’s a good thing with all the flooding. I haven’t been near the river since the storms, but I would imagine that it is pretty high. Thankfully, my area hasn’t had any devastating floods that…
We came back home yesterday and could see many flooded fields as we traveled through the Mt. Pleasant-Clare area. US 10, which passes Midland, was completely closed due to flooding. They are saying that this is a 500 year event and so many people are affected. These types of weather events are so sad as Mother Nature can be so cruel. The owners of our campground said that there was 4 inches of snow on the ground last week up…
After 2 days of rain, yesterday finally broke out in a little sun by late afternoon. Today is expected to be very nice but we have to head for home. Highs here are expected to be in the low 70s. That’s warmer than what is expected at home. I’m seeing pictures of disastrous flooding in mid portions of the state with the failure of several dams. Some areas received as much as 8 inches of rain. We got about 3…
