This is a very wet, gloomy morning although the heaviest rain will miss my area. Southern Michigan is under flood warnings with more heavy rain moving across the lower portions of the state. We are just getting a few hit-and-miss showers here. The leaves have really popped out over the last few days and it seems to good to see green again. My husband just mowed the lawn three days ago and it already needs mowing. We can expect light…
After a very wet Saturday, today should be warmer with more sun. Southern areas of the state received up to two inches of rain yesterday causing many flooded roads. Fortunately, most of it stayed well to our south. My kids were telling me of the loud thunderstorm that they had overnight on Friday. They live near Detroit. We heard thunder in the distance but nothing close. Most of our rain came late yesterday and overnight and the sun is starting…
We lost our beautiful spring weather for a few days, and we have a cold, cloudy day once again. We had a few sprinkles yesterday but no huge amounts of rain, and we could see a little rain today. We aren’t expecting any real warm-ups until Monday although the upper 60s to low 70s is considered to be our normal high for this time of year. Our 9:30 AM temp is 41°F (5°C), the humidity is 63% and winds are…
After a very warm Wednesday, a line of thunderstorms moved through the state late last night dropping 0.47 inches of rain in my gauge. Although a severe thunderstorm warning was issued for a brief period of time, there was nothing here but a lot of rain and plenty of lightning. Our weather now will be much cooler for a few days with highs only in the 50s and lows near freezing. We did see a few peaks of sun earlier…
After a very warm Tuesday, we should expect about the same for today. This morning is sunny and partly cloudy and there won’t be quite as much sun as yesterday. Also, winds will be much stronger. Clouds will be on the increase as another storm system moves our way bringing much cooler temperatures once again. We are seeing many more leaves appearing and it’s finally starting to look like May. Our 10 AM temperature is 70°F (21°C), the humidity is…
This is the weather that we have been waiting for. Yesterday was gorgeous, both upstate and here in mid Michigan. Highs were in the low 70s with light winds. Everything is greening up and there are more and more leaves popping out on trees and bushes everyday. I think that spring has finally arrived in Michigan. Our 8:45 AM temperature is 59°F (16°C), the humidity is 50%, and winds are from the SSW at 10 mph. The pressure is 30.18…
We have been in northern Michigan this weekend moving into our new trailer. Our weather has been sunny but very chilly. It finally warmed up a bit late yesterday to around 60°F. Just over a week ago, they had 36 inches of snow from the 2 day storm, and all that remains now are traces of a few large snowbanks and drifts. Our camp owners are a few weeks behind getting things done because of it. Otherwise, we have had…
Rain began early last evening and continued throughout the night. It didn’t rain hard but just a nice, steady rain which left 0.12 in in my gauge as of 9 AM. It continues at this time with more on the way. It’s amazing how a couple of 80 degree days can make the leaves suddenly pop out on the trees and bushes. It’s a welcome sight to be sure. Our 9:45 AM temperature is 64°F (18°C), the humidity is 91%,…
Yesterday reached the low to mid 80s here in Mid Michigan, and with the low humidity, it was very pleasant. It seemed good to air out the house and be able to go outdoors without a coat. Today won’t be quite as warm but we should see a high near 80°F by late afternoon. We have had hazy sun with a fairly light cloud cover most of the morning and brisk winds. I have heard that there is a wild…
Mother Nature is finally giving us some seasonable weather. Yesterday was sunny but chilly. Today, we could see 70°F for the first time in a while. Tomorrow will be even better with highs expected in the upper 70s to low 80s. Unfortunately, I have to work both today and tomorrow but I can still enjoy most of today. As always, the hot weather brings the threat of severe weather and we have already been warned that’s a possibility by mid…
