Today is back to more normal weather for mid April. Although we love the unseasonable warm temps, we always know that we can’t expect them to last, and it always brings the possibility of severe weather. We were under a severe thunderstorm watch for most of our Wednesday afternoon, and we did have a good amount of rain, thunder and lightning, but nothing that I would call severe. Lansing was under a tornado warning briefly but I haven’t heard of…
We began the day with sun and clear skies. Now our sky is overcast and rain cells are appearing on radar. We did get a little rain overnight, but much more is expected later today. Severe storms are even a possibility. Iowa was hit quite hard yesterday, and that same system will be over us today. Our 11:30 AM temperature is 65°F, the humidity is 80%, and winds are from the SSE at 4-11 mph. The pressure is 29.75 in…
The National Weather Service in Detroit/Pontiac has issued a Red Flag Warning until 8 PM. It seems to me that we’ve had enough rain lately to avoid fire danger, but the dew points have been very low, and it has been quite windy. The area expected to have severe weather over the next few days, does include us although the threat is quite low at this time. Regardless, we should be award of weather conditions today. Our 12:15 PM temperature…
Today will be another winner in terms of the weather. It won’t be as warm as yesterday, but comfortable none the less. The national forecast map is showing many parts of the country to be affected once again by severe weather, but it should be quite tranquil for us. Yesterday saw temperatures near the record high for that date, but didn’t quite make it. Temps won’t be that warm again for awhile. Our 10:45 AM temperature is 58°F (14°C), the…
Today is really nice with very warm temps and light winds. We also have nearly clear skies with a few clouds passing by. Can’t do much better for mid April. We don’t even have any rain in our forecast until Tuesday night, so that will give me a chance to get some of my screens on the windows. we can see much more green on trees and bushes. Our 3:30 PM temperature is 76°F, the humidity is 38%, and winds…
It is a glorious, bright Saturday morning and the birds and bunnies are loving it. So am I. Leaves are really coming out on bushes and trees, and a bird is building a nest on top of one of my motion lights outside my door wall. I hope she doesn’t mid us looking out the window occasionally, or there will be some problems. It’s a great place for a nest because it is right under the eaves, so well protected…
Today is not nice, but we have some really nice weather on the way. The biggest issue today is the wind. We have gusts up to 40 mph and many here in our state are without power. We’ve been lucky so far. Winds should die down tonight, then the sun will return tomorrow. This upcoming week should bring temperatures in the 70s, and with them may come thunderstorms. In fact, one of the YouTube weather forecasters is warning that there…
Radar is showing that our day will continue the way it is now. We have had light rain since this morning and there was 0.25″ in my rain gauge at 8:30. Tomorrow is expected to even be worse with high wind gusts along with the rain. The weekend isn’t looking too bad but Saturday will be the pick day. Next week is expected to bring us temps in the 70s. I love it! Our 1:30 PM temperature is 51°F (11°C),…
Our day is beginning with mild temperatures and mostly clear skies. Yesterday was a winner with highs reaching the mid 70s and plenty of sun. It was much too windy, however, to really be enjoyable. Dixie alley is again being plagued with rough weather and I hope the damage is minimal. As for us, we’re expecting heavy rain over the next few days starting tonight. The next dry day is expected to be Saturday. Our 11:45 AM temperature is 61F,…
Our morning began with clear skies and mild temperatures. Yesterday remained clear all day with some high clouds occasionally. Everyone enjoyed the eclipse and it was the prime story of the day. I envied those who saw it in it’s totality; I heard that there were backups on the roads heading to SE Michigan where it could be viewed. So that part I didn’t miss. Our 1:15 PM temperature is 71°F (22°C), the humidity is 36%, and skies are mostly…
