We have another beautiful day to be thankful for. Highs yesterday reached near 80°F (27°C) and we should see the mid 80s today. There is no rain in our forecast until the weekend, and that’s just a slight chance. It looks like Mother’s Day may not be too bad after all. Yesterday was, I would consider to be a perfect day. Temperatures were comfortable, the humidity was low, and we saw no clouds or contrails from the jets all day. …
Our temperatures should reach the mid to upper 70s today, so it will be a great day to spend outdoors. I think I’ll get more screens on the windows and get some of the flower beds cleaned out. It will soon be time to plant some flowers in hopes that there will be no more frosts. Looking at the short-term predictions, most of the excessive cold weather is over. But hey! It’s Michigan! My favorite YouTube weather guru, Ryan Hall,…
Thank you to Janine Wells-Wilk for the use of her photo today. It clearly shows how lovely our weather has become. Other than a few showers here and there, we really can’t complain. Yesterday was mostly cloudy but mild. Today has been sunny with highs reaching the low 70s, very comfortable for us. Severe storms continue to batter the south and central portions of our country. Unfortunately, there is more to come for them. All of it has remained south…
Our temperatures are mild today, but we have showers just to our west. I’m not sure which way they are moving but it appears mainly to the northeast. If that’s true, then most will miss us. We did have a little filtered sun earlier, but skies have since become overcast. Rain is in our forecast through tonight, but we aren’t expecting much. Our 1:15 PM temperature is 66°F (19°C), the humidity is 54%, and skies are cloudy. Winds are from…
After a little rain and a few rumbles of thunder this morning, the rain has ended and we are seeing a little sun peeking through the clouds. There is a chance that we could get a little more rain, but the radar is clear for now. Our UP is still wet, but nothing headed our way. Our 2:15 PM temperature is 72°F (22°C), the humidity is 77%, and winds are from the SW at 3-7 mph. The dew point is…
Our weather today will be what it should be. Our temperatures will be seasonable for a change, and no mention of snow in the forecast. Hopefully, we won’t hear that “S” word again until next fall. At least the temperatures will be warm and winds will be light, so it’s an OK day with me. Our 10:45 AM temperature is 63°F (17°C), the humidity is 53%, and skies are clear. Winds are from the SE t 3-9 mph, and the…
Today begins our transition from winter to spring, finally. Highs should reach the upper 50s and each day this week getting a little warmer. Yesterday was really nasty with rain mixed with a little snow falling most of the day. Making it even worse was the strong wind. It felt more like a day in March than early May. My rain gauge measured 0.15″. Our 11:15 AM temperature is 48°F (9°C), the humidity is 80%, and the dew point 40°F…
This is a weird beginning of May to say the least. We had rain showers yesterday that changed to snow flurries after dark. There has been no accumulations here, but Marquette had a full-blown blizzard yesterday. They now have close to 2 feet of snowpack. The Yoopers love their winter sports, and this will give them one more chance to do what they love before the warm air moves in next week. I’ve seen snow up north in May before,…
Yesterday brought a mix of rain and sun. We did have a few quick rain showers throughout the day, and the sun did manage to peek out a few times. All and all, it wasn’t a bad day. Highs made it into the mid 50s, but with the wind, it was quite chilly to be outdoors. Today and tomorrow will be our coldest of the week, then we should start seeing temps rise by next weekend. Hopefully, this time for…
