Heading Into A Very Warm Weekend – Mid Michigan

Heading Into A Very Warm Weekend – Mid Michigan

This morning is perfect with plenty of sun and a light breeze. Highs should reach near 80°F.  Unfortunately, we have more rain coming for the weekend, something we don’t need.  We’ve been mowing the lawn about every 3 days and it just won’t quit growing.  I’m ready for that hot, dry summer that was predicted. Our 10 AM temperature is 71°F (21°C), the humidity is 55%, and skies are clear.  The pressure is 30.01 in (1015.9 mb) and steady.  Visibility…

It’s Looks To Be A Great Wednesday Weather-wise in Mid Michigan

Temperatures are cool this morning but the sun is shining brightly and very little wind for a change.  Radar is showing no precip anywhere in the state and highs should be just about where they should be for this date.  Temps will be on the rise throughout the remainder of he week with rain expected tomorrow through Saturday.  I did one of my flowers gardens  yesterday, now have to start the other one.  I think I’m getting too old for…

A Chilly, Breezy Tuesday For Mid Michigan

A Chilly, Breezy Tuesday For Mid Michigan

We can expect highs today only in the 60s.  We had scattered showers overnight with a little thunder which dropped 0.18″ of rain.  Yesterday was cloudy with very strong winds, not a pleasant day to be outdoors at all.  Today should bring a little more sun but below normal temperatures once again.  So far, this year has been one of extremes.  I’m hoping that it soon balances itself out. Our 8:45 AM temp is 55°F (13°C), the humidity is 75%,…

Breezy With Clearing Skies For Our Monday Morning in Mid Michigan

Yesterday was wet and chilly with strong winds most of the day.  Today will at least produce some sunlight even though windy conditions will prevail.  High temperatures will remain in the low 70s most of the week and that’s just fine with me.  We received just under a quarter inch of rain yesterday and today should remain dry. Our 8:30 AM temp is 57°F (15°C), the humidity is 61%, and skies are mostly cloudy.  Winds are from the west at…

I woke to the sound of raindrops this morning and there was 0.14″ in my gauge at 8:15 AM and an additional 0.07″ has fallen since then.  It seems to have stopped for now.  The possibility of more rain remains in the forecast for today and highs will be in the low 70s.  We aren’t expected to see much sun  but tomorrow should be brighter. Our 9 AM temp is 59°F (15°C), the humidity is 95%, and skies are cloudy…

Welcome Relief From The Heat – Mid Michigan

Welcome Relief From The Heat – Mid Michigan

Temperatures in the 90s are just too hot for my liking and I’m happy to  see the cooler weather.  Highs today will only reach the mid 60s and that’s lovely as far as I’m concerned.   I usually have my garden in by now but haven’t even started it yet.  I’ve had some physical issues plus working a lot of hours at the hospital, and I just haven’t been up to it.  These 90°F temps haven’t helped any either.  I’m hoping…

Alberto Is Gone, But No Cool Down For Mid Michigan

Alberto Is Gone, But No Cool Down For Mid Michigan

Alberto wasn’t too impressive as he passed over my area.  A severe TS warning was issued for our county, but what we got was quite benign.  There were a few lightning flashes and thunder which didn’t seem too close.  Gusty winds lasted about 5 minutes and the first band of rain only brought 0.10″.  The second band brought more rain but no thunder.  That happened around midnight.  In all, we received 0.27″ of rain from this storm. This morning’s 9:15…

This morning is tranquil  but that is expected to change as the day goes on.  The remnants of Tropical Storm Alberto will be moving in over us late today and early tomorrow.  We aren’t expecting anything severe but we could see some thunderstorms and heavy rains with them.  We had a beautiful full moon the past two nights and we sat out and enjoyed it.  Temperatures were very warm and the mosquitoes haven’t been too bad yet.  With all the…

Memorial Day in Mid Michigan

Memorial Day in Mid Michigan

Yesterday was lovely but more severe storms developed in the late afternoon over the central areas of the state.  They moved to our northeast and we were not affected.  My kids are here for the weekend and we had a campfire late last night.  It was a beautiful night with temps in the mid 60s, a bright moon, and no breeze.  Highs today will reach the low 90s and it is already a very warm morning. Our 9:30 AM temp…
