A Little Reprieve From The Rain – Mid Michigan

A Little Reprieve From The Rain – Mid Michigan

We had rain all day Thursday, which finally ended early last night.  In all, we had 1.35″ of rainfall.  Today is looking better but there is still a chance that we could have a few more raindrops.  The sky is mostly cloudy but the sun is maintaining a stubborn presence.  Temperatures won’t even make it to 70 today, and with the brisk wind, it feels even chillier.  We went shopping this morning and a few diehards are still wearing shorts,…

A Rainy Day In Mid Michigan

A Rainy Day In Mid Michigan

We woke this morning to a very wet scenario.  There was 0.42″ in my gauge at 8:30, so I know that it had rained most of the night.  We continue to have a steady rain and we can expect this to last most of the day.  Temperatures are mild but colder air will be moving in soon, and this will remain for at least the next week.  We are promised that the end of October will be mild with above…

Our Last Warm Day, Then . . . . .

Our Last Warm Day, Then . . . . .

Today will be the last summer-like day, possibly for the year.  Oh sure, we could see the 70s again but I doubt that it will reach the mid 80s anymore.  Being Michigan however, one never knows.  Today will still be somewhat sunny and rain will be moving in tonight.  The next four days are expected to be wet, and  possibly into the beginning of next week.  It’s still too early to make that prediction.  At any rate, it is now…

Still Enjoying Summer Weather – Mid Michigan

Still Enjoying Summer Weather – Mid Michigan

We are seeing temperatures in the mid 80s today.  That’s 20 degrees above where it should be, but who’s complaining?  Besides that, the humidity is low so it’s very comfortable.  Skies are completely clear and breezes are light.  There is no rain expected until Thursday, and then below average temperatures will set in.  We always have to pay for our out-of-season nice weather. Our 3:30 PM temperature is 86°F (30°C), the humidity is 42%, and winds are from the S…

Our Last Three Days Of Summer Weather – Mid Michigan

Our Last Three Days Of Summer Weather – Mid Michigan

These will be our final days of temps in the 80s, at least for now anyway.  I’m hoping that it will still happen again before the end of October, but I’m happy with the 70s also.  Regardless, we will certainly enjoy what we have before a drastic cool-down and rain on Thursday.  Temps next weekend aren’t even expected to reach out of the 50s.  That’s really a drastic change!  I’m seeing a big decrease in the bird traffic at my…

A Beautiful Start To October – Mid Michigan

A Beautiful Start To October – Mid Michigan

I hope that most of October is like this weather-wise.  It’s absolutely beautiful with above average temps and plenty of sun.  Our temperatures are expected to be warm the remainder of this week, and we could see some rain by week’s end.  But we’ll enjoy this while it lasts. Our 11:45 AM temp is 73°F (23°C), the humidity is 70%, and the dew point is 60°F (16°C).  Winds are from the SW at 2-5 , mph, and visibility is 10…

Dense Fog Advisory On This Saturday – Mid Michigan

Dense Fog Advisory On This Saturday – Mid Michigan

Once again, we have fog.  This is common for Michigan this time of year.  We can see the sun peeking through and I’m sure that it will clear up by noon.  Today begins a period of summer-like weather which is expected to last for the next 5-6 days.  I’m loving it!  We will probably see upper 70s and even 80 degrees over the next week.  This is also expected to be a dry period so that makes it even nicer….

Cloudy and Mild In Mid Michigan

Cloudy and Mild In Mid Michigan

We are supposed to see a little sun this afternoon, but so far, it hasn’t made an appearance.  It’ll probably clear up at sundown.  But no matter, tomorrow is supposed to be beautiful.  We could even see 80 degrees this weekend.  The next few days should be rain free, and we could use a dry spell so the grass quits growing and the mosquitoes become less. Our 4 PM temperature is 69°F (21°C), the humidity is 76% and skies are…

Still Dreary And Damp In Mid Michigan

Still Dreary And Damp In Mid Michigan

Yesterday brought us intermittent rain showers which became heavier as the day wore on.  There was 0.19″ in my gauge this morning, and looking at the CoCoRahs reports this morning, most stations in southern Michigan recorded more than that.  We are seeing a little more color everyday, and peak color isn’t expected for a few more weeks yet.  These cloudy skies don’t appear to be going anywhere in the next few days, but the weekend is expected to be nice. …

A Damp, Gloomy Day In Mid Michigan

A Damp, Gloomy Day In Mid Michigan

We haven’t received any significant rainfall in the past 24 hours, but rain is still in our forecast.  Fine weather is expected to return for the weekend and that’s always a good thing.  We could even see temperatures near 80 degrees once again.  But for today, we won’t even make it to 70 degrees. Our 12:30 PM temperature is 62°F (17°C), the humidity is 88%, and skies are overcast.  Winds are from the E at 3-6 mph and the dew…
