Yesterday was very windy with gusts close to 50 mph in parts of the state. Today isn’t quite as windy but still expecting gusts close to 40 mph. Skies were clear early but now the sky is filled with clouds once again. We can expect a significant warm-up by Thursday of this coming week, then temps are supposed to be much warmer the week after. May is only two weeks away so it’s about time. I’m ready for it! We…
Having watched the weather happening in all the states south of us yesterday, Michigan lucked out once again. There were many tornadoes, as well as severe storms which produced damaging winds and large hail, and we had the chance of seeing some of that here in Michigan. But the storms came as far north as Ohio and started dying out. We did received 0.35″ of rain during the day with very little of it overnight. This morning began with clear…
After a very nice Tuesday, today probably will not be very pleasant. We could be in line for some pretty hefty storms this afternoon and tonight. Yesterday brought, what has become, a weekly rash of tornadoes from the deep south up into Minnesota. Today may be our turn, although chances remain quite low. There is another cold front knocking on our door and even snow has been mentioned for this upcoming week. Whatever happens, we’ll just have to deal with…
Today has been gorgeous, but unfortunately, it isn’t going to last. There is some very stormy weather expected this upcoming week although Michigan isn’t expected to be affected that much. We can expect more wet weather and temps above normal before another cold air system strikes later in the week. Once again, there will be another round of tornadoes and even blizzard conditions in the south and central regions of the country. The southwest will be ripe for wildfires. So…
Yesterday brought intermittent rain showers which even turned into hail around 3:30PM. It came down hard and covered the ground before it quit. After 7:05turning back to rain, it soon all melted. We haven’t had any rain today but there were a few snow flurried falling a while ag0. It’s a very gloomy and cold day. Tomorrow is expected to be much better with sun and highs expected to reach in the low 50s. I hope that doesn’t change. Our…
Yesterday morning began with rain, and it continued until late afternoon. Then the skies cleared and we had about two hours of sunshine. Unfortunately, it didn’t last long, and we received more rain overnight. Today is chilly once again and there are puddles standing everywhere. The river is high and over it’s banks in many places. The storm systems that have been affecting the eastern portions of the country seem to be unrelenting, and keep training in from the west. …
Our morning has been very wet, with rain changing to snow. It came down quite hard for a while, and left about half an inch of snow cover. But now most of it has melted. Temperatures won’t be very warm today and we can expect a mostly wet afternoon. a Lansing meteorologist said that we will see highs in the 60s next week, so that’s something to look forward to. Our 2PM temp is 35°F, the humidity is 98% and…
Saturday brought us cloudy skies a and little rain late in the day. There was a trace of snow here and there when I got up this morning but it appeared that most had melted already. Today was supposed to be rainy with some snow mixed in, but the forecast has now changed to just mostly cloudy. Temperatures will only make it into the mid 40s, and it should be a fairly decent day. Our 11AM temp is 37F, the…
After a very blustery Thursday, winds are much calmer today, but it feels like winter once again. A few minutes ago, we were having a snow shower. Now the sun is out. That’s what we can expect most of today. We had wind gusts yesterday up to 45 mph, but they diminished considerably by the end of the day. Temperatures were in the mid 50s early but continued falling all day. By 6 PM, it was only around 40F. That…
We received 0.13 inches of rain and freezing rain overnight. My deck was solid ice when I got up, but temps have warmed up enough to melt it all. Highs are expected to reach the upper 50s today, and right now I’m not seeing any approaching rain for my area on radar. It’s a shame that we can’t have a warmup that doesn’t bring rain with it. At least we aren’t expecting severe weather like the same southern states are…
