Another Lovely Day In Mid Michigan

Another Lovely Day In Mid Michigan

I love this weather.  Evenings, nights and early mornings are quite humid, but the afternoons are comfortable.  Rain is spotty at best, and temperatures are perfect.  I haven’t had to turn the AC on until the afternoon, as my house has been staying quite cool as long as I don’t open any windows.  Then the nights cool off so that I can turn it off again  .  It’s hard to believe that August is coming to an end already.  I…

Cloudy And Cooler In Mid Michigan

Cloudy And Cooler In Mid Michigan

Yesterday was quite nice  but we did have a few sprinkles of rain in the afternoon.  There were no big storms, just a few popup thundershowers and most didn’t amount to much.  Today has been cloudy so far with a few peeks of the sun.  It’s supposed to clear up later and highs should reach the upper 70s. Our 12:30 PM temperature is 72°F, the humidity is 82%, and skies are mostly cloudy.  Winds are from the ESE at 2-6…

A Pleasant Sunday For Mid Michigan

A Pleasant Sunday For Mid Michigan

Yesterday was a rather strange day with popup showers and thunderstorms.  Through the day, we heard plenty of distant thunder but we only had one shower which dropped 0.06″ of rain in the afternoon.  Then during the overnight, we received the rest, giving us a total of 0.24″ in all.  There is rain in our forecast today but the radar isn’t showing any heading in our direction.  Most of it is up north and we have sun at the present…

Scattered Showers/Thunderstorms Possible Today – Mid Michigan

Scattered Showers/Thunderstorms Possible Today – Mid Michigan

I’m already seeing some storms popping up on radar so I think we will have a wet weekend ahead.  I haven’t watered my garden for a few days, so I’m hoping that the rain doesn’t all miss us.  My weather station is showing one lightning strike 11 miles away, but radar isn’t showing anything coming our way as yet.  I don’t think we’ll see much sun today but that will help keep the temperatures down.  I’m seeing a few raindrops…

Another Ideal Day Before The Rain – Mid Michigan

Another Ideal Day Before The Rain – Mid Michigan

We have had great weather all this week and today will be no exception.  This weekend, however, will be wet if the local weather gurus have it right.  We should see an increase in cloud cover later but no rain is expected until tomorrow.  Temperatures will cool down a little but will remain in the average range.  This has been a nice summer weather-wise.  At least I think so.  Those 90 degree days have been too warm for my liking,…

A Very Warm, Calm Thursday For Mid Michigan

A Very Warm, Calm Thursday For Mid Michigan

There were numerous thunderstorms which popped up yesterday afternoon, and just like Tuesday, they were moving from the NE to the SW, and remained to the East of us.  Most places received very little rain, but others got hail with heavy, brief  showers.  We only got a few sprinkles of rain here.  The cloud formations were beautiful and they did little to bock the sun.  We took a ride out to our park in Laingsburg, where this picture was taken, …

More Perfect Summer Weather In Mid Michigan

More Perfect Summer Weather In Mid Michigan

We can’t have nicer weather than what we are getting this week.  Temperatures are perfect and just a few clouds from time to time.  We all still have some Covid symptoms but nothing severe, and we are still testing positive.  The CDC just came out with new guidelines which are much more relaxed from previously.  So this virus doesn’t seem to be considered much of a risk anymore.  We still aren’t going anywhere that we don’t have to, even though…

So Where’s The Sun? Mid Michigan

So Where’s The Sun? Mid Michigan

Yesterday was rainy on the western side of the state.  Here where I am, all we got was some sprinkles which left 0.01″ in my gauge.  Today was supposed to start out with clouds, then clear up for the afternoon. At least that’s what a local forecast called for.  I’m still waiting for the sun to appear, and the sky looks like rain although there is nothing showing up on radar.  Yesterday was very chilly for mid August and highs…

Perfect Summer Weather Continues In Mid Michigan

Perfect Summer Weather Continues In Mid Michigan

I’m really enjoying this weather.  It seems so good to have the windows open for a change, instead of having the AC on all day.  The high today is expected to only reach the upper 70s and the humidity will be low, so that’s perfect in my book.  There is only a slight chance of rain over the next few days, but even at that, it isn’t expected to be much if any at all.  I’m seeing that the extended…

A Perfect Summer Day In Mid Michigan

A Perfect Summer Day In Mid Michigan

This has been a perfect summer day.  There was a lot of sun and mild, but not hot, temperatures.  We had just enough breeze to open the windows and air out the house.  This entire week is expected to be like this with just a slight chance of rain a few days.  It’s such a relief after the repressive hot and humid weather that we’ve had this summer.  One local meteorologist said that he thinks that weather is over for…
