Mid Michigan Weather

Yesterday’s temperature remained in the low 70s until the storms rolled in.  Even at that, they remained in the upper 60s until after midnight.  This morning is a different story, however.  It definitely feels like November today.  The past week has been a real treat for us Michiganders but the honeymoon is over.  Our extended forecast is still calling for temperatures above normal into early December so we really can’t complain too much.  There was 0.25″ of rain in my…

We are enjoying the final day of our unseasonable warm weather although the winds are very strong which makes it feel a bit cooler.  Also there hasn’t been much sun today and rain is expected to move in tonight.  The remainder of this week will see temperatures more in the normal range but it is still expected to be dry.  This has been a beautiful autumn for us and the extended forecast is calling for above-normal temps continuing into early…

This weather has been unbelievable although it will be coming to an end by Wednesday.  Yesterday was sunny most of the day with a brief period of clouds in the afternoon.  Highs made it into the upper 70s once again breaking previous records.  It seems strange to see people out and about in shorts, and there is certainly a lot of outdoor activity as people get their last summer fix before the snow flies.  I don’t ever recall having such…

This weather that we’ve been having is phenomenal.  Skies have been clear with highs reaching into the 70s.  This is very unusual for November in Michigan, and it is expected to continue int0 Tuesday.  What is really unusual is that it has lasted an entire week.  I wish that it could continue up to Christmas but I know that is asking too much.  I’m actually wearing summer clothes today and highs are expected to reach the mid 70s.  I love…

Yesterday was much warmer than what was predicted.  Our high made it up to 73F and the predicted high was 68F.  It wasn’t quite enough to break a record, but we loved it none-the-less.  Skies were clear all day and the sun made it feel even warmer.  The winds were pretty brisk but it was still a lovely day.  Today has been mostly cloudy with a few peeks of the sun.  Temperatures aren’t expected to be quite as warm but…

Today looks like a beautiful day except the winds are picking up once again.  At least the temperatures will be warm enough that it won’t seem so cold.  Election day is now over, thank heavens, and I’m so happy that we won’t be bombarded with campaign ads anymore.  It still isn’t clear who won, and I’m hoping that it is resolved soon. Our 9 AM temp is 52F (11C), the humidity is 71%, and winds are from the SW at…

We have quite a bit of sun today but strong winds are still an issue.  The warm-up will begin tomorrow and it will be very welcome.  Yesterday was very blustery with wind gusts up in the 40 mph range and intermittent snow squalls.  Today isn’t quite as bad but still much too windy for comfort.  At least we are seeing the sun.  I’ve noticed that the day seems to be going by much slower on standard time and I’m wishing…

Today began with cloudy skies which have now become partly cloudy with snow showers mixed in. Radar is showing that most are lake effect.  The winds have been brutal today and many of the fallen leaves have blown away.  The next few days are expected to see a big improvement with warmer temps and plenty of sun.  We’re hoping that the forecast doesn’t change. Our 3:15 PM temperature is 36F (2C), the humidity is 65%, and skies are mostly cloudy. …

It is interesting, as I look out the window this morning, that leaves are falling off the trees like snow.  There is little to no wind, but they are still falling.  This morning is clear and bright but not comfortable to be outdoors.  The temperature was only 24F when I got up and has risen a few degrees since then.  I put up some of my Halloween decor yesterday since there were no strong winds for a change.  The trick-or-treaters…

It feels really cold out there today.  Highs aren’t even expected to make it into the 40s and thankfully, there isn’t much wind.  Skies have been cloudy all day so far and I’m not expecting to see much sun, if any.  We are looking forward to the warmup that the local weather gurus are promising by mid week.  I  just wish that it would stay all of November but I know that we won’t be that lucky.  At least we…
