The weather is certainly different from what was originally predicted. We have sprinkles this morning and cloudy skies. The temps are also cooler than what was supposed to be, but that’s not unusual for Michigan. Yesterday was cloudy and chilly. Highs never even reached 70 degrees and I’m wondering if they will today. Chances for rain were only 20%, and it isn’t enough to do any good. Oh well, it is what it is. Our 10 AM temperature is 63°F,…
This Labor Day Weekend has been pretty nice weather-wise. Yesterday was hot with highs reaching into the upper 80s. Thunderstorms developed late in the day, and just seemed to hang around without much movement. Some areas got 2+ inches of rain but we didn’t get even a drop. It was rather strange because the storms didn’t seem to move much and just sat in one area for quite a while. We have a slight chance of rain this afternoon so…
Although the weather service considers today as the first day of autumn, our weather seems more like mid July. Temps are in the mid 80s, and light breezes make it feel even hotter. It sounds like we’ll have a nice Labor Day weekend for those who plan on a day at the beach, picnics, or boating. As for us, we have no big plans. My kids will be home for the weekend and we’ll probably have a campfire. That’s our…
The winds are a bit strong today but that helps keep the temperatures at a comfortable level. I don’t have the AC on today because of the nice breeze blowing through my house. Even though it is quite warm, it’s tolerable. I love having the windows open and hearing the sounds of the outdoors. We’ll be closed in soon enough with the beginning of meteorological autumn beginning tomorrow. I can’t believe how fast the past three months have gone. Our…
The storms that rolled through southern Michigan yesterday certainly left their mark. Fortunately, my area was spared from much of the damage, but other areas, including Detroit weren’t as lucky. My daughter lives in Wixom and she is still without power. The storms moved fast and caused destruction from around Midland south. The Detroit area appears to have gotten the worst of it. Today is much cooler and enough breeze to have all the window open. We haven’t seen any…
We were promised rain . . . . a lot of rain yesterday, and I think everyone got it but us. There was only 0.06″ in my gauge this morning while other stations were reporting anywhere from half an inch to almost two inches. The weather service is saying that we can try again later today. Our partly cloudy skies of this morning have already become overcast, and there is a chance for some strong storms. We’ll see how that…
Our morning began with clear skies, but now we have clouds. Radar is showing rain approaching from the west but most shouldn’t affect us until tomorrow. There is a chance that some severe storms could materialize but I’ll consider us lucky to even get any rain. Most of the time, it dries up or misses us. Today and tomorrow will be very warm with highs expected in the mid 80s, but next week is expected to be more comfortable. Our…
Our great late summer weather continues. Temperatures today will be in the normal range and dry conditions will prevail. There is no rain in the forecast until tomorrow night and Monday, so most of the weekend will be fine for any summer activities. Winds will be light today with plenty of sun, so I’m going to go out and enjoy what’s left of our summer weather. Our 1:15 PM temperature is 76°F, the humidity is 57%, and winds are from…
Today has been warm and it has threatened to rain, but we only have had a few sprinkles so far. Radar looks promising but most of the rain seems to fall apart before reaching us. We could use some rain, and I’m debating if I should go out and water the garden. I’m thinking that I should. Our 5:30 PM temperature is 78°F, the humidity is 69%, and the dew point is 67°F. The pressure is 29.87 in and falling. …
Today will be very summer-like, probably one of the few that we have left. Highs are expected to reach the mid 80s and we should see plenty of sun. Our last summer holiday is only a week away and I hope that it will be a nice one. I’ve heard many conflicting weather predictions for fall, including one saying that we have a large mass of cold air coming our way. But I’ve seen prediction be wrong so many times,…
