Mid Michigan Weather

Today has been very warm since this morning, and there is no relief from the heat until Monday.  Meanwhile, we can expect some hefty storms tonight and tomorrow.  Some could drop some pretty impressive rain amounts according to local meteorologist, Mark Torregrossa with M Live.  We have had partly cloudy skies and plenty of sun up until now, but some dark clouds are beginning to move in.  Radar is showing rain coming off of Lake Michigan into the Grand Rapids…

We had clear skies this morning, but now a thin cloud cover has taken over.  There is a slight chance of some storms developing later and highs could reach 90 degrees.  This weather pattern will continue until the middle of next week when a cold front is expected to arrive.  We should then have much more comfortable temperatures. Our 1 PM temperature is 85°F (29°C), the humidity is 66%, and winds are from the S at 2-7 mph.  The pressure…

Yesterday was very uncomfortable with highs reaching the mid  80s and very humid.  Today will see more clouds with some sun, which is starting to show itself.  Rain began late yesterday, and continued overnight.  We only received     0.42″ of rain, but other areas got well over an inch.  There were a few severe storm warnings issued, and even a tornado warning.  I haven’t heard any damage reports however. Our 1:30 PM temperature is 80°F (27°C), the humidity is 74%, and…

Our morning is cloudy and rain in popping up on the radar.  Most seems to be moving due north, and I’m expecting to feel a few drops very soon.  We could see rain almost everyday this week and it will be hot and muggy.  The dog days of summer are  upon us. Our 10:15 AM temperature is 77°F (25°C), the humidity is 84%, and winds are from the SW at 3-6 mph.  The pressure is 29.78 in (1008.5 mb) and…

We have very few days that are considered to be perfect, in terms of weather, but yesterday was it.  My kids were all home for my husband’s birthday, and most of the day was spent outdoors.  It was just too nice to be inside.  Today started out the same way, but it will be much warmer, and uncomfortable to be out doing anything.  We can expect the heat to remain this entire week, with a chance of rain almost everyday….

After a sunny afternoon on Tuesday, clouds moved in by evening, and multiple thundershowers developed.  The first arrived around 6:30 PM, which dropped  0.46″ of rain.  Then another line of storms arrived just before midnight and dumped another quarter of an inch.  Finally, a small cell developed just to our west, and brought another downpour after midnight.  Our total rainfall was  0.74″.  Today has been dreary but no rain.  We are expecting to see a little sun this afternoon sometime….

We had a nice thunder shower early yesterday evening which left 0.21″ in my gauge.  It was one of many rain cells which moved over southern Michigan yesterday, and gave some areas over an inch of rain.  We had just a nice shower with a little thunder .  Today has been sunny but a little muggy.  Temperatures are right where they should be for this time of year, and nothing dramatic is expected any time soon.  It’s been a nice…

We have yet another wonderful day . . . . . about as nice as you can get for July in Michigan.  There is a small chance for a pop-up shower, but I doubt that it will happen.  Yesterday was quite warm, and if there had been more breeze, I could have done without the AC.  The same goes for today.  The sky is mostly clear, but there is a light cloud cover, and I’m wondering if it could be…
