Although our temperature is chilly, but within the average range, we have quite a bit of sun and it is a pleasant day. Just seeing the sun this time of year is a good thing. This entire week is expected to be dry, so we’re just hoping that the forecast doesn’t change. Also, we’re expecting a significant warmup by mid week. That’s always nice. Our 2:15 PM temperature is 48°F (9°C), the humidity is 58%, and skies are partly cloudy. …
We had off and on rain showers early yesterday, which left 0.30″ in my rain gauge. The afternoon became dry, but then a line of thunderstorms moved over us in the evening. There was quite a lightning show, and it brought back a feeling of summer once again. The only reality check was the temperature. It never did get that warm yesterday which made a rather strange scenario for thunderstorms. The total rainfall was 1.02″. Our 12:30 PM temperature is…
It is a dark and gloomy day in Michigan with many areas having rain and wintry mixes. We had rain this morning but most now remains to our north. This is the type of day when I wish we had snow. At least it would be much brighter outdoors. But alas, it is what it is and we have to deal with it. I’m sure that there is a lot more to come. Our 3:15 PM temperature is 39°F (4°C),…
After a very mild Monday, today feels more seasonable. Highs won’t make it out of the 40s and I think our mild weather is done for a while. All the thunderstorms missed us yesterday except for a few sprinkles. The winds made it difficult to enjoy the 60 degree temps and Mother Nature reminded us that the November winds are a reality. We did see a few peeks of the sun but I doubt that it will happen today. Our…
There was quite an impressive line of thunderstorms coming off Lake Michigan this morning, but they continued to fall apart as they moved across the state; most that would have affected us, dwindled before reaching us. I’m seeing no more rain behind this first line on the radar, so it looks like the rest of the day may be dry. Winds are the issue with gusts up to 30 mph. I don’t expect to see much of the sun today….
This morning began with dense fog, but the sun burned it off and it turned into a mostly sunny, mild afternoon. We do have a thin cloud cover but not enough to hide the sun, and winds are very light. Today was supposed to be a washout, but we lucked out and the rain forecast was pushed back a day. Today is our first on Eastern Standard Time, and it seemed so good to be bright at 8AM for a…
After some overnight rain, our afternoon has become partly sunny with mild temperatures. Also winds are expected to be light, so wind chill values will be insignificant. This is a good day to get out and do any last minute chores that need to be done before winter. Also, rain chances for tomorrow are less than previously expected, so the weekend may be a good one. Our 1 PM temperature is 54°F (12°C), the humidity is 74%, and skies are…
Today would be lovely if not for the strong wind. We had a little sun this morning, but that’s gone now and clouds have taken over. Radar is showing some rain up north but none is expected here. I think We’ve had enough for a while. Our 1:45 PM temperature is 57°F (14°C), the humidity id 43% and skies are cloudy. Winds are from the SW at 8-19 mph, and visibility is 16 miles. The pressure is 29.88 in…
It didn’t take long for the Halloween snow to disappear. There was just a trace this morning but even that is gone now. If not for the wind, today would have been very pleasant. At least we saw quite a bit of sun and that helped to make it feel warmer. Sun also helps to brighten our moods with these darker days of autumn. Daylight Savings Time ends this weekend and that makes me happy. I personally hate it. Our…
We had heavy to moderate snowfall yesterday that lasted a few hours. When it finally stopped, there was 1.8″ on my deck. I don’t ever remember having this much snow on Halloween. This morning feels more like January that the first of November, but temps are expected to rise into the low 40s, so the snow should be short-lived. Our 9:30 AM temperature is 26°F (-3°C), the humidity is 94%, and skies are clear. Winds are calm and the dew…
