A Very Wet Sunday For Mid Michigan

A Very Wet Sunday For Mid Michigan

Yesterday at around 5 PM, we had a pop-up rain storm which dropped 0.54″ of rain in about 15 minutes.  We are expecting more throughout today so it looks like it will be a near washout.  We leave for the north country tomorrow morning and I’m hoping that this rain will be over by the time we have to pack up.  We will certainly have cooler weather, but as long as it isn’t rainy everyday, I won’t mind that.  This…

The Last Of Our Summer Weather – Mid Michigan

The Last Of Our Summer Weather – Mid Michigan

Our 10:30 AM temperature is…

Although there isn’t much showing on radar, we did manage to get a small shower this morning, which left just a few sprinkles but not enough to measure.  The sun is out right now but the sky is mostly cloudy.   Our forecast is calling for just a slight chance of rain today and not much sun.  Temperatures will be very warm so it won’t be a bad day at all.

A Beautiful Summer-like Morning In Mid Michigan

Today is expected to be a great early autumn day, with plenty of sun and very warm temperatures.  We are taking our last trip next week to our campground and I’m wishing that this weather would have come a week later.  Although the weather next week isn’t expected to be terrible, it won’t be as nice as this week is.  But I guess we’ll make the best of it. Our 10 AM temperature is 68°F (20°C), the humidity is 89%…

More Rain, Storms For Our Friday The 13th – Mid Michigan

More Rain, Storms For Our Friday The 13th – Mid Michigan

There is a line of showers and thunderstorms moving in on us from the west that seems to be diminishing a bit as they approach.  If they don’t make it, that will be okay as we sure don’t need anymore right now after Wednesday’s storms.  This morning is very damp and cloudy but the temps have risen overnight.  Yesterday never made it to 70°F and it was a bit misty much of the day.  Today should be better. Our 10…

Tuesday’s Storms Could Repeat Tonight – Mid Michigan

Tuesday’s Storms Could Repeat Tonight – Mid Michigan

Although my area was spared from any severe weather yesterday, the Bay City, Midland, and thumb areas weren’t so lucky.  There were various funnel clouds spotted resulting in tornado warnings but I haven’t heard of any actual touch-downs.  Wind damage was wide spread and many went through the night without power.  We are warned that tonight could give us a repeat performance.  We did have a shower earlier in the day which left 0.15″ in my rain gauge.  Right now,…
