Cloudy and Cooler For Our Sunday – Mid Michigan

Cloudy and Cooler For Our Sunday – Mid Michigan

Yesterday was still quite mild, but afternoon and evening thunderstorms brought us over one inch of rain and much cooler temperatures.  Highs today will be closer to normal which will still be pleasant.  Winds aren’t too strong so it is comfortable.  We saw a little sun early but now skies have become overcast.  There is still a chance of rain but there isn’t much showing on radar at this time.  There is some in northern Ohio that is moving this…

Mostly Cloudy, Filtered Sun for Mid Michigan

Mostly Cloudy, Filtered Sun for Mid Michigan

I thought that it was supposed to be cold this weekend, but apparently, that has changed.  That’s okay.  We’re loving this early spring weather.  We had some thunderstorms move through yesterday afternoon and we received another 0.09″ of rain.  It didn’t last long and didn’t do much to cool it off.  My sister-in-law in Florida can’t believe the weather that we’re having.  For that matter, I can’t either. Our 10:45 AM temp is 62°F (17°C), the humidity is 74%, and…

Possibly Our Last Warm Day For A While – Mid Michigan

Possibly Our Last Warm Day For A While – Mid Michigan

After almost a week of summer-like temperatures, showers and thunderstorms ushered in some much cooler air, and this will probably be the norm for a while.  Yesterday was still very warm and afternoon thunderstorms brought 0.33 inches of rain, along with some very strong winds.  Today is windy and mostly cloudy.  There is still a chance for more rain but the radar is almost clear at this time.  I think we have enough rain for a while.  Since our average…

A Very Warm April Day In Mid Michigan

A Very Warm April Day In Mid Michigan

After yesterday morning’s thundershowers, the remainder of the day was partly cloudy and mild.  We received just under half an inch of rain.  Temps were in the mid 60s most of the day so it was nice to be out and about.  This weather is really spoiling us, and when it returns to normal, we’ll complain.  Today has had a light layer of clouds and filtered sunlight has been shining through.  Highs could reach pretty close to 80F and I’ve…

Thundershowers To Start Our Day – Mid Michigan

Thundershowers To Start Our Day – Mid Michigan

Our day began with clouds, then thundershowers moved through our area.  It’s the first for this year.  We received just under half an inch and now there is some clearing and a little sun.  Our Easter Sunday was absolutely perfect with highs reaching the upper 60s and very light wind.  The kids were all home, and we spent most of the day outdoors.  We had chicken on the grill, which my husband is a master at cooking, and all the…

A Beautiful Easter Sunday In Mid Michigan

A Beautiful Easter Sunday In Mid Michigan

Our Easter morning is warm and sunny with light winds.  It’s perfect.  I don’t think that we will reach 70F but it will get pretty close.  We’ll be cooking out and probably sitting outdoors much of the day.  I love it. Our 1:15 PM temp is 62F (17C), the humidity is 35% and skies are partly cloudy.  Winds are from the ESE at 1-5 mph and the dew point is 31F (-1C).  Visibility is 10 miles.  The pressure is 30.01 in…

A Beautiful Easter Weekend For Mid Michigan

A Beautiful Easter Weekend For Mid Michigan

We couldn’t have a nicer weekend for our Easter celebrations than what this one is turning out to be.  We probably won’t quite reach 70F but will be close tomorrow and early next week.  Regardless, there isn’t any rain, or better yet snow, in the forecast and that’s a good thing.  The buds on bushes and trees are really starting to appear and I think that we’ll be seeing leaves early this year.  I’m hearing reports that we could still…

Much Colder, Cloudy Skies For our Thursday – Mid Michigan

Much Colder, Cloudy Skies For our Thursday – Mid Michigan

Yesterday saw winds gust up to 38 mph for my area but it was sunny most of the day.  By nightfall, we received some light snow flurries and that continued into this morning.  There was no accumulation but no one is excited to see snow falling after having temperatures near 70F.  I know that this is not unusual for early April in Michigan but never the less, we are all ready for spring weather.  Fortunately, our weekend is looking wonderful…

More Cold Weather For Mid Michigan

After a nice, warm day on Tuesday, our temperatures have once again dipped back to normal.  This seems to be the pattern that we are in lately.  It goes from one extreme to another.  The problem with yesterday was the wind.  Our highest recorded gust was 38 mph, and it made it very difficult to enjoy even though the temperatures were quite warm.  There was sun most of the day, but then rain moved in at around 9 PM.  We…

Mild Temps, Sunny Skies But Very Windy – Mid Michigan

Mild Temps, Sunny Skies But Very Windy – Mid Michigan

Today would be beautiful except for the wind.  It is much too strong to go out and enjoy the day, so we just have to look out the window and wish.  Yesterday wasn’t too bad except that we didn’t see much sun.  It was a bit breezy but temperatures were quite mild and it wasn’t a bad day at all.  My dog is hassling me to take her out and I’m trying to ignore her.  Highs are supposed to be…
