Yesterday was not a bad day.  We had some rain early, but the afternoon was mostly dry.  There were a few more pop up showers overnight but the day was far from a wash out.  Highs reached into the 70s and that was nice.  Rain amounts totaled 0.27″.  This morning is starting out cloudy but the radar is clear and they are saying that we could see a little sun later this afternoon.  Unfortunately, our temperatures took a nose dive…

A Rainy, Cool Tuesday In Mid Michigan

We are planning our first trip up north early next week and I’m really hoping that this rain will be done by then. Yesterday wasn’t the wash-out that we thought it would be.  In fact, the rain didn’t begin until mid afternoon and it was light at that,.  The heavier rain moved in overnight and there was 0.22″ in my gauge this morning.  Temperatures are once again below average.  This has been the pattern over the past month.  I wish…

Radar is showing that the rain has moved well to our southeast and it appears to be over.  These past several days have been very wet and the Detroit area has been declared a disaster area because of flooding, especially in the Dearborn area.  We didn’t received nearly that much here but enough to make the ground soggy.  This weekend is supposed to be very nice however, and we deserve it. Our 9 AM temperature is 42°F (6°C), the humidity…

Our 10 AM temperature is 47°F (8°C), the…

Rain, Rain, and More Rain – Mid Michigan

Rain, Rain, and More Rain – Mid Michigan

Maybe we should be happy that we aren’t getting severe weather but this much rain causes flooding which can be as bad.  Many roads in the Detroit area are flooded as they got almost 2 inches overnight.  We received a little over half an inch here.  Radar is showing that we’re right on the edge of the showers and I’m hoping that it stays that way since I have some running around to do this morning.  On the positive side,…
