Another Cold Day In Mid Michigan

Another Cold Day In Mid Michigan

Our temperatures were supposed to be in the 60s today and it isn’t going to happen.  In fact, we’ll be doing good to hit 50°F.  Tomorrow is supposed to reach 80°F and I’m wondering if that will happen.  Not only is is cold, but it’s also windy and that makes it seem even colder.   I’m hoping that we see a little sun but not looking good right now.  Yesterday turned out quite nice and skies cleared up by late in…

A Cloudy Morning Give Way To A Sunny Afternoon – Mid Michigan

A Cloudy Morning Give Way To A Sunny Afternoon – Mid Michigan

Our morning was cloudy and very chilly, but skies started clearing by noon, and it has become a lovely afternoon.  Unfortunately, temps are cold and a brisk wind makes it even colder.  We have very warm, summer-like temperatures coming over the next several days and we have that to look forward to.  But, of course, storms will probably come with them.  This is supposed to be our rainy season so getting more rain in okay and good for the farmers….

Rain Moving In For This Afternoon

Rain Moving In For This Afternoon

This morning has been dry and mild, but rain is showing up on radar and should be here soon.  We aren’t expecting a lot, but it will probably be wet most of this afternoon and early evening.  The temperatures seem to be stabilizing at near normal levels, and I’m not seeing any extreme cold coming in the near future. Our 12:15 PM temperature is 59°F (15°C), the humidity is 50% and winds are from the ESE at 2-6 mph.  Skies…

Warmth Returning to Mid Michigan

Warmth Returning to Mid Michigan

After three days of below normal temperatures, we will finally see our temps back up where they should be.  The past three nights have brought heavy frost to some areas and I haven’t heard anything about fruit damage yet.  None of my plants seem to be affected but perennials are quite hardy anyway.  The leaves continue to come out a little more every day and we’re seeing the forsythias and azaleas in full bloom.  This is such a great time…

An Unseasonably Cold Day In Mid Michigan

An Unseasonably Cold Day In Mid Michigan

Today began with clear skies but now clouds are filling most of the sky.  Temperatures are only in the 40s and there is a brisk wind from the north.  It feels more like March than mid April, but we are promised that warm temps are on the way.  In fact, next Tuesday could reach near 80°F.  Unfortunately, that also brings the possibility of some severe weather, although most is supposed to stay to our south.  Since I no longer get…

Rain / Snow Mix In Our Forecast – Mid Michigan

Rain / Snow Mix In Our Forecast – Mid Michigan

The possible snowstorm that was predicted for us now appears to be mostly moving south of us.  We may see some snow showers but not much, if any, accumulations.  That makes me very happy.  After flowers are in bloom, no one wants to see snow.  My daffodils are beautiful and the tulips are coming up.  Today began with some sun but now it is cloudy, rainy, and very windy. Radar is showing a line of showers moving across the state…

Totally Beautiful Today In Mid Michigan

Totally Beautiful Today In Mid Michigan

Today is an absolutely gorgeous day. We better enjoy it because there is snow in the forecast for Tuesday and Wednesday. Mark was showing that my area can expect 2 to 5 inches. I’m hoping it’s only two or even less. It is hard to be thinking snow after the weather that we’ve had for the past two weeks. But it’s only April and anything can happen weather-wise. I’m taking my dog and going out and enjoying what we have…

Snow In Our Forecast! Can You Believe it? – Mid Michigan

Snow In Our Forecast! Can You Believe it? – Mid Michigan

Today is a lovely, seasonable day, but I’m hearing that we could get 2-5 inches of snow in the next few days.  At least we know that it won’t last long, but snow, after the wonderful weather that we’ve been having, is hard to grasp.  Hopefully they’ll be wrong and it will be rain instead.  Our morning began with plenty of sun and frost, but now we have clouds moving in.  Highs today should reach our normal which is the…

Wet, Cloudy, And Cool For Our Thursday – Mid Michigan

Wet, Cloudy, And Cool For Our Thursday – Mid Michigan

Our day began with some light showers but they seem to have ended now looking at the radar.  Our temperatures are below average once again, but it doesn’t feel too bad out there.  I think there may have been a few flurries mixed in with the rain but they weren’t too obvious.  Most of the snow has remained to our north and that’s fine with me.  After today, our temperatures will warm up once again, but not as warm as…

Another Gorgeous Day In Mid Michigan

Another Gorgeous Day In Mid Michigan

This recent warm weather that we have had, has really brought out the leaves on the trees and bushes. I think we are going to see the world greening up early this year. Last year at this time, it was so cold that we were all wondering if spring was ever going to happen. We do have a few cold days ahead and we could even see some snow showers, but no accumulation is expected. These above normal temperatures have…
