Once again, we have a gorgeous weekend to enjoy before winter-type weather is upon us.  This autumn has been extraordinary for Michigan in terms of weather.  Usually this is a rainy season for us, and rain has been scarce this year.  It’s actually a good thing for the farmers as they are busy cutting the corn and soy beans.  We are certainly fortunate compared to what other  parts of the country are going through.

Our 10:15 AM temperature is 61°F (16°C), the humidity is 62%, and winds are from the SW at 5-11 mph.  The pressure is 30.05 in (1017.6 mb) and steady and the dew point is 43°F (6°C).  Visibility is 13 miles.  Yesterday’s high was 71°F (22°C)and the overnight low was 41°F (5°C).  Average temps for this date are 58°F/39°F.  Record temps for Oct. 19 are 82°F (1920) and 16°F (1972).  Sunrise was at 7:57 AM, and sunset will be at 6:47 PM.
