Another Gloomy Day – Mid Michigan

Another Gloomy Day – Mid Michigan

I doesn’t look like we will get much, if any sun today.  At least no rain is in our forecast, and tomorrow is supposed to be mostly sunny.  We did get some rain late yesterday and overnight, but only 0.15″ was in my gauge.  Our fall colors have been ruined by all this rain and we are mainly seeing dull yellow and brown.  The  hardwood trees are still mostly green, so I’m still hopeful that they will give us more…

A Little Sun For Our Sunday Morning – Mid Michigan

A Little Sun For Our Sunday Morning – Mid Michigan

After a cloudy, wet Saturday, we are blessed with a little sun this morning.  Skies are mostly cloudy but just enough breaks in the clouds to let us know that the sun is alive and well.  We had light rain most of Saturday which ended late in the afternoon.  We can expect more later today.  We were expecting strong winds yesterday which never happened.  It was breezy but we never did see gust up to 30 mph as we were…

Another Wet, Gloomy Day In Mid Michigan

Another Wet, Gloomy Day In Mid Michigan

It rained most of the night after yesterday’s intermittent sprinkles.  There was a little over half an inch in my gauge at 8:30, and it’s been raining since then.  We have continued light rain at this time and we can expect this for most of the day.  Temperatures continue below average and there is no real warmup anytime soon. Our 10:45 AM temperature is 48°F (9°C), the humidity is 96% and skies are overcast.  Winds are from the NE at…

Dark, Damp, And Cold In Mid Michigan

Dark, Damp, And Cold In Mid Michigan

It isn’t a very nice day at all.  Radar is showing a lot of rain over us and still more coming.  None of it is heavy, just enough to be miserable.  I wouldn’t mind it if it was just warmer.  Our temperatures remain way below where they should be, and this is expected to continue into next week.  The prediction for this month was above normal temps and were they ever wrong!  The weather usually balances out, so maybe we’ll…

A Foggy, Damp Morning In Mid Michigan

A Foggy, Damp Morning In Mid Michigan

We have dense fog to deal with this morning.  There was a little water in my rain gauge but I’m sure it was just condensation.  I’m seeing sun trying to appear through the fog so I think it will burn off quickly.  Today will be warmer than what we’ve had, but it isn’t expected to last long.  In fact, next week is expected to be even colder with highs some days only in the 40s.  I guess we can expect…

Damp But A Little Warmer – Mid Michigan

Damp But A Little Warmer – Mid Michigan

After a drizzly day on Tuesday, today was supposed to be much better.  It looks like the sun is trying to shine but still too many clouds in the way.  It was supposed to be partly cloudy this afternoon, and if that’s going to happen, it better hurry.  It will probably clear up after dark as usual.  Regardless,  temps are in the mid 50s and there is very little wind, so really not  too bad out there. Our 2:45 PM…

Still Cold In Mid Michigan

Still Cold In Mid Michigan

Today will be another chilly and gloomy day.  Rain is in the forecast but haven’t seen any yet.  This is more like November weather so maybe we’ll get our October weather in November this year.  Regardless, it is what it is and complaining will do no good.  At least it isn’t as windy today so that’s a good thing. Our 11:15 AM temperature is 48°F (9°C), the humidity is 78%, and skies are cloudy.  Winds are from the SW at…

Sunny And Windy In Mid Michigan

Sunny And Windy In Mid Michigan

Today feels just plain cold.  Not only is the high much below normal, but we have a strong wind to go with it.  At least the sun is out today, but we have more rain expected for tomorrow and every day the remainder of the week.  We did have a quick shower late Sunday afternoon which left 0.5″ in my rain gauge. There is also no warmup in the immediate future.  Where are those above average temps that they said…

Windy And Cold – Mid Michigan

Windy And Cold – Mid Michigan

To look out the window, it looks like a very nice day, but when you step outdoors, it isn’t as nice as it looks.  It is very windy and many of the leaves are blowing off the trees.  That’s going to take a lot of the color with it.  We had scattered, light lake effect showers yesterday afternoon.  We didn’t get much rain, but we didn’t need it either.  There was only 0.02″ in my gauge.  Last night was our…

Cloudy And Chilly In Mid Michigan

Cloudy And Chilly In Mid Michigan

Yesterday began with sun, but ended with moderate rain showers.  We received another 0.25″ of rain and the temperatures were dropping as the day went on.  Today will be much colder with highs only expected to reach the low 50s.  There is really no substantial warmup expected anytime soon, but I guess we shouldn’t be surprised since it is autumn. Our 11:15 AM temperature is 50°F (10°C), the humidity is 85%, and skies are overcast.  Winds are from the NW…
