Finally, Some Much Needed Rain – Mid Michigan

Finally, Some Much Needed Rain – Mid Michigan

I was very happy to see rain on the radar this morning and it is raining quite hard now as I post this.  There was only 0.02″ in my gauge from yesterday even though most areas received more than that.  We seemed to be on the edge of every storm that came our way. I haven’t been able to blog the past week as we were up at our campground, and the WiFi there has been terrible.  The weather was…

Continued Hot In Mid Michigan

Today will be another day of hot, dry weather, although the humidity will  be on the rise.  The past two days have been remarkably dry in terms of humidity, which is rare for Michigan in summer.  There is no rain in the forecast until a week from today and this hot weather is expected to continue until then.  We will be heading up to Indian River tomorrow and I’m not sure that it will be much cooler there.  The WiFi…

Temperatures yesterday were in the mid 80s, but the humidity was very low as was the dew point, so it really wasn’t that uncomfortable.  Today will be about the same, and there is no rain in the forecast until July 8.  We wanted a drying out period and it looks like we will get it.  I haven’t looked ahead to the weather forecast for Indian River, but it is usually is a little cooler there since the Great Lakes are…

It Looks Like Hot Weather Will Be Here For A while – Mid Michigan

For anyone who loves hot summer weather, they should be overjoyed right now.  It looks like that will be our weather pattern for quite a while.  For me, that will be a bit much as I’m not a fan of anything much over 80°.  I just hope that the AC doesn’t decide to quit on us, and this is always the type of weather that it happens in.  We’ll be heading north again on Thursday for the holiday weekend, and…

Yesterday was lovely and the same is expected for today.  We are in a period of dry, hot weather, something that we have been waiting for since June began.  We were wondering if it was ever going to happen, but alas, here it is.  This upcoming week should see highs in the mid to upper 80s, and could even hit 90° in the mix.  It sounds like it will be a perfect July 4th holiday.

As Severe Thunderstorms Hit The State, We Are Spared Once Again – Mid Michigan

As severe thunderstorms developed yesterday, they remained to our south and west.  We received 0.53″ of rain with a little thunder and lightning, but not much more.  Many areas got over 2 inches of rain and some wind damage but we were lucky once again.   Today will continue to be very warm and we aren’t expected to see much sun.  That should keep it a bit cooler. Our 9:45 AM temperature is 71°F (22°C), the humidity is 93%, and skies…
