A Nice Summer Weekend For Mid Michigan

A Nice Summer Weekend For Mid Michigan

This has been a very nice weekend, with comfortable temperatures, and just enough of a breeze to open the windows are air out the house.  There were some showers popping up on radar yesterday, but my area seemed to remain dry.  There were a few drops in my rain gauge this morning so I think we may had had a sprinkle overnight.  Today has been sunny with just a few passing clouds and there is no rain expected.  Highs will…

Another Cloudy Day In Mid Michigan

Another Cloudy Day In Mid Michigan

We had a heavy, brief shower yesterday afternoon, which dropped almost half an inch in about 20 minutes.  Today there are more showing up on radar but I don’t think they’ll reach us.  The grass is growing about an inch a day with all this rain, and whenever they predict a dry period for us, it rains anyway.  With gas prices what they are, it’s costing a small fortune just keeping up with the lawn.  We are expecting a hot…

Rain On The Way For Mid Michigan

We have had a few sprinkles so far today, but heavier rain is moving in from the southwest.  It has been on the radar since this morning and doesn’t seem to to moving very fast.  But local forecasters are assuring us that it is coming.  Highs today won’t even reach the 70s, but the 80s will be returning next week.  It looks like this will be a fairly wet weekend coming up before our next round of sunny weather. Our…

Rain Ending, Sun Appearing – Mid Michigan

Rain Ending, Sun Appearing – Mid Michigan

After an afternoon of sprinkles, we finally got a good rainfall overnight.  There was 0.42″ in my gauge this morning, and many areas of the state received more than an inch.  The eastern lower part of the state was under a flood warning but haven’t heard of the extent of any flooding.  Radar is showing some light rain moving across the mid sections of the state, but most of it has moved well off to our east.  The sun has…

Cloudy With A Threat Of Rain – Mid Michigan

Cloudy With A Threat Of Rain – Mid Michigan

Rain is in our forecast for today, and radar is showing it slowly approaching us.  At this time, however, it appears to be light with no significant storms developing.  Thunderstorms are supposed to develop this afternoon but that remains to be seen.  I was hoping that we’d get some rain since I haven’t watered my garden in a few days, and it is getting pretty dry.  The northern portions of the state seem to be getting a good drenching, if…

A Cloudy, Rainy Day In Mid Michigan

A Cloudy, Rainy Day In Mid Michigan

This morning began with a few sprinkles, and the radar is showing rain over us, but nothing is happening right now.  We are expecting intermittent showers throughout the day and temperatures will remain below average.  The leaves all seem to be out full now and everything is lush green.  This is expected to be a cool June and so far, that is what’s happening.  With all the stormy weather that has been happening in other states, the weather here in…

Another Almost Perfect Day In Mid Michigan

Another Almost Perfect Day In Mid Michigan

We have yet another beautiful day to enjoy.  Highs will only make it into the 70s although it is quite breezy.   Extended forecasts for the fist half of June are calling for temperatures a little below average, so that sounds perfect to me.  I love having the windows open in summer in stead of the AC, so this is a treat. Our 1:15 PM temperature is 76°F, the humidity is 29%, and winds are from the west at 4-15 mph. …

It Couldn’t Be A Nicer Day In Mid Michigan

It Couldn’t Be A Nicer Day In Mid Michigan

Today is perfection as far as I’m concerned.  The sky is clear, temperatures are comfortable, and breezes are light.  We couldn’t ask for a nicer day.  Yesterday was mostly cloudy and we did have a few drops of rain.  We went shopping in Owosso and it poured while we were in the store, but the roads were  barely wet here at home.  I’m still in the process are planting flowers.  It’s  slow but sure process this year.  I have some…

A Very Hot Memorial Day For Mid Michigan

A Very Hot Memorial Day For Mid Michigan

Today will be the hottest day that we have had so far this year.  I’m not sure if any records will be broken, but I know that it will be much to hot for me.  I don’t plan on being outdoors much, in spite of it looking gorgeous out there.  My dog, on the other hand, thinks it’s wonderful and has been asking to go out about every half hour.  We have more cooler air descending on us from the…

A Very Warm Memorial Day On Tap For Mid Michigan

A Very Warm Memorial Day On Tap For Mid Michigan

Today’s weather will feel more like July than the end of May, but who’s complaining?  For those planning any time in or on the water, it will be ideal.  It is a bit breezy but that will make it feel a little cooler.  Highs are expected to reach the upper 80s, so a nice breeze will feel great.  There is still no rain in the forecast until Tuesday night and that’s fine.  We can use a dry spell.
