A Very Pleasant Day Ahead For Mid Michigan

A Very Pleasant Day Ahead For Mid Michigan

Today will actually be nice with seasonable temperatures and plenty of sun.  Unfortunately, the weekend will once again be rainy and cold.  Next week’s temperature will still remain below average but temperatures should start warming up by the end of the week.  At least that’s what they’re telling us right now.  The morning began with some clouds but now it has cleared up.  There was no precipitation yesterday and today should also be dry. Our 10:45 AM temperature is 52°F…

Today’s Weather Will Be The Best For Awhile – Mid Michigan

Today’s Weather Will Be The Best For Awhile – Mid Michigan

Today and tomorrow’s weather will be the best that we’ll see for awhile.  So spending these two days outdoors is a great idea.  The South is in for some nastiness once again with large hail, damaging winds, and even some tornadoes possible.  My area will hang on to the cold weather until next week.  Then we should start seeing our temperatures moderate a bit closer to where they should be.  I’m hearing that we could see some snow flurries on…

Another Cold Day In Mid Michigan

Another Cold Day In Mid Michigan

Yesterday brought a few snow showers and was not a very pleasant day.  There was also a few drops of rain, but no measurable amounts.  I have seen snow flurries also this morning.  Our temperatures continue to remain in the 40s which is about 20 degrees below where they should be.  It isn’t going to get much better the remainder of this month, but the weather gurus are promising a big warm-up when May gets here.  I sure hope so….

Feels Like A Day In March – Mid Michigan

Feels Like A Day In March – Mid Michigan

Yes, we did have a snow shower earlier today and it was not a welcome sight.  Temperatures won’t make it out of the 40s today, which is 20 degrees below normal.  But it is what it is and the rest of this month won’t be much better.  I guess we’re paying for the week of 70-80 degree weather that we had.  Hopefully, it will be much warmer when May begins. Our 3:45 PM temperature is 47°F (8°C), the humidity is…

Should Be A Dry Day For Mid Michigan

Should Be A Dry Day For Mid Michigan

We had intermittent rain showers on Saturday which left us with about quarter of an inch of rain.  Although today is mostly cloudy, the forecast is only calling for a slight chance of rain.  Temperatures are about 20 degrees below where they should be, but these roller coaster temps have been with us since the year began.  We are all waiting for the warm weather to come and stay.  It’s hard to believe that it’s the end of April already…

A Little Sun For Our Saturday – Mid Michigan

A Little Sun For Our Saturday – Mid Michigan

Our morning began with a little rain but now we have some clearing and sun.  Radar is showing more rain on the way, but at least the day shouldn’t be a complete washout.  Temperatures will continue to be below average and that is what we can expect for the rest of April.  I hope that May brings us some improvement. Our 12:30 PM temperature is 50°F (10°C), the humidity is 75%, and winds are from the west at 5-10 mph. …

Another Warm Day For Mid Michigan

Another Warm Day For Mid Michigan

Yesterday evening, we had some moderate to heavy rain with a little thunder.  It left a little over 1/3 of an inch in my gauge, and watered down the dust from the road nicely.  Today we could see temps nearing 70°F and maybe a little more rain.  Prayers for the people in Cole and Shawnee, OK.  I have a Facebook friend who lives near Shawnee, but thankfully he was missed and is okay.  The tornadoes have been plentiful this year…

A Bit Chilly In Mid Michigan

A Bit Chilly In Mid Michigan

Our day started out sunny but now the sky has become overcast.  The temperature isn’t too cold but still below average for this date.  I’m hearing that we have a few days coming where the highs could reach near 80 degrees again, but it won’t last long.  Then we have to deal with another cold front.  Will this ever end?  Our temps should be near 60°F by now and these cold spells are threatening our fruit crop.  Yesterday’s snow showers…

A Little Snow To Start The Day – Mid Michigan

A Little Snow To Start The Day – Mid Michigan

We had a light covering of snow early this morning which measured about quarter of an inch.  It didn’t last long.  We had recurrent snow showers most of our Monday which measured 0.08″ of melted precip in my gauge.  Today will be a bit warmer than yesterday and no precip is expected.  We still have cloudy skies and it is a bit gloomy.  The teaser of warm weather last week really spoiled us. Our 12:30 PM temperature is 38°F (3°C),…

Snow Showers For Our Monday – Mid Michigan

Snow Showers For Our Monday – Mid Michigan

Our morning began with a light cover of snow on bare surfaces, but my rain gauge had just water.  We received 0.36″ of precip yesterday and overnight, and snow showers have continued throughout our early afternoon.  This should be the order of the day.  It is also quite blustery out there, so not a nice day to have to go out.  All the snow is melting on contact, so no accumulations are expected.  This will be our coldest day this…
