Mid Michigan Weather

Our morning has cloudy skies with some sun shining through.  There is another chance for severe weather this afternoon, but mainly for the southeastern parts of the state.  There is another cold front knocking on our door, and a significant cool-down will happen early next week.  Today will be hot and humid, and hopefully, this will be the end of this high-temp weather.  I’m ready for fall. Our 9:45 PM temperature is 77°F (25°C), the humidity is 84%, and skies…

We had a series of intermittent showers and thundershowers throughout yesterday afternoon.  There were small cells which developed just to our northwest and left us with some pretty good rain amounts.  There was little over half an inch this morning in my gauge.  Today has been much cooler with mostly cloudy skies with filtered sun.  There is no more rain in the forecast for today, but tomorrow is expected to be wet once again. Our 11:15 AM temperature is 70°F…

Yesterday brought a sunny beginning, that ended with strong to severe thunderstorms.  We didn’t have any damage here in my area, but there was plenty to our south.  My son lives in Northville, and my daughter in Howell.  They were both without power late yesterday.  We didn’t even get that much rain, just 0.22″.  I’m seeing that southern areas, including Detroit, got as much a 3 inches.  We could still see more rain today as another cold front comes our…

There is a possibility of severe weather later today, but one would never know it now.  Other than feeling like an oven outdoors, and the humidity and dew points making it feels almost unbearable, a good thunderstorm would be welcome.  We did have some this morning, but for us, it was more thunder than rain.  There was only 0.07″ in my gauge after it passed.  Temperatures should be about 10 degrees cooler tomorrow. Our 1:45 PM temperature is 88°F (31°C),…

Anyone having to be outdoors today, should stay well hydrated and not be out anymore than necessary.  Not only are the temperatures going to be very hot, but the dew point and humidity will create a very high heat index.  A heat advisory, as well as a good chance for severe weather, have been issued by the Weather Service for tomorrow.  A few storms could develop today but a very slight chance. Our 1:45 PM temperature is 88°F (31°C), the…

What was supposed to be a dry period has now changed.  There is now a very slight chance of some thunderstorms developing late this afternoon.  Any storms that do happen will be few and far between, but the chance still remains.  Some could even be very strong.  Our sky is already beginning to cloud up a bit, and there was a sign that we could have had some light rain overnight.  There was  0.01″ in my gauge at 8 AM,…

We have another sunny morning, but it is much warmer than than the past three.  Today will begin a heat wave which will last into half of next week.  We could even see 90°F one more time.  There is still no rain in the forecast until next Thursday night and we are enjoying this dry period.  It’s been a chore keeping up with mowing the lawn. Our 9:45 AM temperature is 69°F (21°C), the humidity is 74%, and skies are…

This is the month when all the flower beds are in their peek.  Unfortunately, it doesn’t last too long before the first frost comes and destroys them.  But it is what it is, and soon the fall colors will appear.  I’m already seeing a little color happening in the field behind our house.  Maybe these chilly nights have been contributing to it.  We have a very warm weekend ahead of us, and hot weather will continue into next week. Our…

We have another comfortable day ahead of us.  Our last night’s lows were wonderful for sleeping with the window open, and tonight should be as well.  We should be able to enjoy this weather until the weekend, when highs will again reach into the upper 80s.  I’m hearing that this will be a cool autumn for our area.  I just hope it isn’t too cool.  The 60s and 70s would be fine with me.  I’ve been noticing how green everything…

We have yet another bright morning with very chilly temperatures.  Lows dipped into the 40s again overnight, and I had to turn the furnace on this morning for a brief time.  It will be a little warmer today, but highs will still remain much below average.  I still like this better than 90 degrees. Our 10:15 AM temperature is 63°F (17°C), the humidity is 84%, and skies are clear.  Winds are from the SE at 1-4 mph, and the pressure…
