Today began with a heavy frost and clear skies. Since then, the winds have picked up, clouds have moved in with a little rain. The picture shows a waterspout near the Mackinaw Bridge from earlier today. Temperatures are unseasonably cold and it feels like a day in November. Some areas of the UP have snow cover, up to an inch plus. Most of us are not quite ready for that yet, but I don’t think that Mother Nature cares much. …
Temperatures have been dropping since early this morning, and skies are overcast with strong, cold winds. It’s not going to be a pleasant day weather-wise, but we have to expect it this time of year. Radar this morning showed showers passing over but I saw no trace of even a sprinkle. Maybe the air was too dry for it to reach the ground. It’s starting to look and feel like November. Our 11 AM temp is 52F (11C), the humidity…
After a week of warmer than normal temperatures, there is a strong cold front heading our way which will cool us down quite a bit by Thursday. What’s worse are the winds that are coming with it. We could see gusts near 40 mph tonight, and that will probably destroy a lot of the color that we have. I was hoping that Halloween would be nice this year but that’s starting to be questionable. This morning began with light fog…
Today is yet another with plenty of sun and fairly mild temperatures. Yesterday’s high was in the low 70s and today won’t be quite as warm but nice anyway. Although we are having brisk winds, it’s still enjoyable. Our colors this year are fabulous. They haven’t been this nice in the past three years. I’m thinking it’s because we haven’t gotten much rain. Whatever the reason, we are certainly enjoying it. Our 11:30 AM temp is 56F (13C), the humidity…
We started our day with clear skies but now clouds have taken over. Temperatures should still make it into the low 70s today, but the strong winds will make it seem much cooler. We will only have this weekend with warm temps, then more seasonable autumn temperatures will be the rule. We knew it couldn’t last forever. Our 10:30 AM temp is 69F (21C), the humidity is 81%, and the dew point is 64F (18C). Skies are mostly cloudy and…
This may be the last of our very warm weather, with temps expected in the 60s and 70s the remainder of this week. Today should reach the mid 70s. We’ll enjoy it while it lasts. There isn’t even any rain in the forecast to disrupt the changing colors on the trees. We aren’t quite at peak yet but probably early next week. Regardless, it it very colorful out there, and with the sun, it’s absolutely beautiful. Our 10:45 AM temperature…
We did receive a little rain this morning but not much more than a few sprinkles. Now skies have cleared and winds have picked up. Highs today should reach the upper 60s and it should be a very nice day. We continue to see more color everyday and I’m hoping that the strong winds don’t wreck it too soon. Our 10:15 AM temperature is 63F (17F), the humidity is 63%, and skies are clear. Winds are from the west at…
Today is the start of a week of very lovely weather for us. We will see highs near 70 degrees some days, and well into the 60s on others. Best of all, there is no rain in the forecast. The colors are really coming out on the trees and bushes, and peak colors should happen within the next week. I love fall when it’s like this, and I’m hoping that it lasts through the end of the month. Our 10:45…
We are looking forward to a warm-up in a few days. All next week is predicted to be warm, dry and sunny, but we know how quickly that can change. Yesterday was damp although we didn’t get much rain. There was only 0.06 in in my gauge this morning. There is more rain in our forecast for today but none so far. The sun is trying to peek through at the moment but temperatures are still much below where they…
Our morning began with cloud cover but now we have partial clearing and the sun is out. Unfortunately, it won’t warm up much with highs only expected in the low 50s today. We are promised a significant warm-up over the next few weeks, and I hope that this prediction is right. The weather on Halloween the past 2-3 years has been terrible. Maybe this year it will be nice. At least we haven’t had any hard frosts yet. Our 11…
