We are beginning another significant cool-down which has caused this latest round of tornadic weather. There were 8 confirmed tornadoes from Tuesday night state wide. One of them was 5 miles away from us, but only an EF0. That’s bad enough. Other than tornadoes, there was a lot of wind and hail damage. The warm weather is always nice, but too often, this is the result. At least it’s really opening the buds on trees and bushes. Our 4:15 PM…
After a very stormy night, this morning still brought some light rain. We received over an inch of rain in Tuesday’s storms. They began moving into the state in late afternoon, then continued through the overnight. There was intense lightning, a few tornadoes, and a lot of damaging wind. We were under a tornado warning for about an hour late last night, but we were lucky once again. These storms just added to the flooding and many dams in the…
Although my area hasn’t had any storms yet, northern Michigan, and some areas in mid Michigan, are battling the flooding situation. As the weather map shows, there is a large area in the severe area for today, although we’re expecting ours overnight. The storms affecting Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois, and Indiana will be heading our way overnight. Ryan Hall is covering it on YouTube, and I’m sure the Michigan Weather Chasers will also be very soon. Right now, we have…
This upcoming week will feel like late May or early June. Highs will reach into the 70s everyday and I’m expecting many records will be broke or tied. With that comes the possibilities of severe weather, mostly on Wednesday along with more heavy rain. The city of Cheboygan is on alert for their dam failing, and there are concerns for other dams in the state. Today is very pleasant although on the windy side. We had cloudy skies this…
Today should be a decent day with plenty of sun and temps in the 50s. There is no rain expected until late tonight, so it will be a good day to get outdoors and do whatever. Our 12:45 PM temperature is 50°F, the humidity is 46%, and the pressure is 30.38 in and steady. Winds are from the NE at 2-8 mph and the dew point is 27°F. Visibility is 12 miles. Yesterday’s high was 56°F and the overnight low…
Today isn’t as nice as yesterday, but we have much warmer weather to look forward to this weekend and early next week. Unfortunately, it increases our chances for severe weather during that time. We have to take the good with the bad, and hopefully, it won’t be that bad. Our 2:15 PM temperature is 47°F, the humidity is 83%, and skies are overcast. We had a little rain overnight, but none since then. Winds are from the north at 4-7…
Our morning began with overcast skies, and the deck was damp from a little overnight rain. There was 0.08″ in my gauge. Now skies are almost clear and temperatures have risen to the mid 60s. It is quite breezy but it is a warm breeze. The lawn is still pretty waterlogged from all the weekend rain. Unfortunately, there is more to come. Our 1:30 PM temperature is 68°F, the humidity is 28%, and skies are mostly clear. Winds are from…
Today begins another round of very warm weather. Hopefully it will last awhile. Our skies were clear this morning, but now we have mostly clouds. We could see highs in the 70s this weekend, and as usual, it will come with some rain. Our rivers are overflowing now, so we certainly can do without that. Our 12:15 PM temperature is 43°F, the humidity is 49%, and winds are from the south at 6-9 mph. The pressure is 30.27 in and…
To look out the window, it seems like a beautiful spring day. Then you walk outside, and the wind feels like January. At least we aren’t getting anymore rain. The river is overflowing it’s banks and many roads are flooded that usually don’t flood. Some have even been washed out. I just hope it is done for awhile. Our 3 PM temperature is 33°F, the humidity is 43%, and skies are clear. Winds are from the SE at 0-6 mph…
Today is one of those days that Mother Nature isn’t sure what she wants to do. Our morning was overcast, but now it’s an even mix of sun and clouds. Every so often we get some sprinkles of rain thrown into the mix. The area is still recovering from all the rain that we got, and a flood warning remains in effect for our county. Right now the sun is out and temperatures are a little below the average. It’s…
