It looks like today will be a perfect weather day. We have clear skies, light winds, and very comfortable temperatures. The flood situation in our northern counties is improving although it will take a lot of time and money to repair all the damage. Our governor has declared it a disaster area, so they’ll get some state funding. We aren’t expecting are rain for the next few days, so that will help with drying out the fields. Our 12:45 PM…
This morning began with plenty of sun, but now clouds have move in and there is a chance for a little rain today. Temperatures will be much warmer than the past 3 days, and we could see 70F later. Winds are quite calm now but will increase as the day goes on. Our 2:30 PM temp is 68°F, the humidity is 40%, and winds are from the SW at 2-11 mph. The pressure is 29.83 in and steady. The dew…
It seemed good to wake up to sun and clear skies this morning. We had a frost warning but I don’t think that there was any frost. It really doesn’t matter to me anyway. I never plant this early. Yesterday brought intermittent rain/snow showers and some clearing. It was very windy, but much calmer today. Our 12 noon temperature is 41°F, the humidity is 35% and winds are from the NW at 2-9 mph. The pressure is 30.33 in and…
Today brought a little of every type of weather. It was sunny to start out, then it clouded up and we got a few drops of rain which became a light snow shower. We now have a mix of sun and clouds and plenty of wind to go with it. Temperatures are chilly and with the wind, it feels even colder. Our 3:30 PM temperature is 49°F, the humidity is 40%, and skies are partly cloudy. Winds are from the…
Our weather has calmed down and the storm system that was over us has moved on the the east. Today is wet, but most of the rain has moved east. Radar is showing no rain to our west although overcast skies remain. Our 3:30 PM temperature is 49°F, the humidity is 73%, and winds are from the west at 7-11 mph, and the pressure is 29.70 in and rising. The dew point is 39°F and visibility is 10 miles. Yesterday’s…
The severe storm system which has affected us the past four days is finally ending after today. They will still be firing to our west, but our storm chances are very slight. We could still see a thunderstorm overnight, but nothing severe is expected. Our 1:45 PM temperature is 71°F, the humidity is 67%, and skies are partly cloudy. Winds are from the SSE at 0-7 mph and the pressure is 29.90 in and falling. The dew point is 54°F…
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…
