After a very wet weekend, we are happy to see the sun again. Our weekend rain total was 2.25 inches. This should certainly help to ease the drought areas of the state. With it came much cooler temperatures although they are now closer to where they should be. We were spoiled with the extended summer that we had. Our 12 noon temperature is 55°F, the humidity is 62%, and skies are mostly clear. Winds are from the west at 4-11…
We received 0.85 in of rain late yesterday afternoon, then another 0.81 in overnight, so I think that we have enough rain for awhile. Radar, however, is showing more on the way. I hope that the areas that were drought stricken got as much as we did. I’m just glad that this wasn’t snow. Our 9:30 AM temperature is 55°F, the humidity is 99%, and skies are overcast with sprinkles. Winds are from the west at 4-9 mph, and the…
Today will be a typical autumn day although the temperatures will be a bit warmer than normal. We had a little rain overnight which left 0.04″ in my gauge. This weekend could be a bit on the stormy side and we really do need the rain. The remainder of this month is still expected to remain warmer than normal. Our 1 PM temperature is 66°F, the humidity is 47%, and winds are from the SSW at 2-8 mph. Skies are…
We received a little rain overnight which only measured 0.03″ in my gauge. It wasn’t enough to really make a difference, but now skies have cleared and the sun is shining brightly. We are seeing an increase in color everyday, and these cold nights are really aiding it. Our weather is in a bit of a back-and-fourth mode with a few 70 degree days still showing up. Temps are still much above normal, making our October very pleasant. Our 1:30…
Another high temperature record was broken yesterday by one degree. The day began with dense fog but then partially cleared through the afternoon. Today will also be mild but more clouds. We will see cooler weather the next few days before another round of warmer than normal temps. This has been a lovely autumn season so far. I hope it lasts into early winter. Our 12:30 PM temperature is 66°F, the humidity is 74%, and skies are cloudy. Winds are…
We had dense fog early this morning but now it is bright and sunny. It will be a very nice day and warm enough for outdoor activities. The rain that we got hasn’t lessened the fire danger much, although my area isn’t as bad as further north. There was a wildfire near Houghton Lake but I haven’t heard anything about it lately, so I assume that it is under control. Our 12 noon temperature is 60°F, the humidity is 78%,…
We have another beautiful autumn day although a little on the chilly side. But considering that it is October, it is very nice. Highs today will again reach above average and no precipitation in the forecast for the immediate future. I didn’t see any frost this morning but I didn’t get up very early either. I still brought my hanging plants in, just to be safe. Our 1:45 PM temperature is 65°F, the humidity is 40%, and skies are mostly…
We had our first frost of the season last night. I brought my hanging plants in because I’m not ready to part with them yet. Besides that, we have more warm weather coming next week. We won’t see the 80s or 90s again, but not cold enough for a frost. Our 2 PM temperature is 58°F, the humidity is 46%. and skies are mostly clear. The pressure is 30.37 in and falling. Winds are from the east at 3-6 mph,…
After the rain ended yesterday afternoon, skies cleared and it became very pleasant outdoors. Today we have plenty of sun, but temperatures are cold compared to what we’ve had. Highs will do well to even reach 60°F. We received almost an inch of rain and it looks like that will do it for awhile. There isn’t anymore expected anytime soon. Our 1:15 PM temperature is 56°F, the humidity is 42%, and skies are mostly clear. Winds are from the north…
The rain began late last night and continued until late this morning. We received just under an inch. Last night was the full moon, and temperatures were warm, so we sat out for about an hour. We figured that we couldn’t waste such a beautiful evening. This time of year, you can sit outdoors and not get carried away by mosquitoes. The only trouble is that it’s usually too chilly to really enjoy it. Last night was ideal. Our 2…
