Much Cooler But Sunny – Mid Michigan

Much Cooler But Sunny – Mid Michigan

After an almost perfect day yesterday, today leaves a lot to be desired.  Temperatures aren’t bad but the wind undoes all the good in the day.  I’m even hearing mention of frost tonight, not that it would affect me.  I don’t have anything planted yet.  I’m seeing a frost warning for the northern portions of the state, but no advisories or warning has been issued for us yet.  Today and tomorrow will be cooler than normal, but then it warms…

Wonderful Weather For Mid Michigan

Wonderful Weather For Mid Michigan

We continue to see grey skies with a hint of blue showing through from the wildfires in western Canada.  It hasn’t really hampered the sun much, but we aren’t seeing blue skies either.  Other than that, we can’t complain.  We should see highs in the low 80s this afternoon and light winds.  So it’s perfect for just getting outdoors and enjoying it.  We are expecting some cooler temps over the next few days, but it will not last long.  It…

Warm And Cloudy For Our Monday – Mid Michigan

Warm And Cloudy For Our Monday – Mid Michigan

We continue to have a lot of Canadian wildfire smoke overhead, so the sky appears to have more overcast than it actually does.  Winds are very light and temps are in the mid 70s.  The humidity is very low and it’s just a nice day to open the windows and air out the house.  No rain is expected anytime soon and temperatures are expected to be very warm for the holiday weekend.  Life is good. Our 5 PM temperature is…

A Beautiful Sunday In Mid Michigan

A Beautiful Sunday In Mid Michigan

Skies are clear but don’t look very blue due to smoke from the wildfires in Canada.  Our temperatures are very comfortable and winds are light, so overall, it’s a beautiful day.  I’m still working on my flower beds and am happy that my perennials have all made it through the winter.  There is no rain in the forecast for this week so I’m glad that we got what we did on Thursday. Our 2:15 pm temperature is 75°F (24°C), the…

Chilly After The Rain – Mid Michigan

Chilly After The Rain – Mid Michigan

We were lucky enough to get 0.34″ of rain yesterday which was badly needed.  Today is very chilly and the forecast is calling for a chance for more rain, but it hasn’t happened yet.  If we get anymore, I don’t think it will be much.  It’s really too cold to go out and do anything, at least for me.  It does seem a little brighter now but still no sign of the sun.  It is a bit windy which makes…

A Little Rain This Afternoon – Mid Michigan

A Little Rain This Afternoon – Mid Michigan

We had mostly cloudy skies this morning, but now light rain has moved in.  It isn’t much more than sprinkles, but I wish we’d get more.  It has been so dry and our road is very dusty.  The rain is expected to end by tonight and with it came cooler temperatures once again.  It seems to be having a very hard time warming up this year. Our 5 PM temperature is 62°F (17°C),  the humidity is 87% and winds are…

Just A Nice May Day In Mid Michigan

Just A Nice May Day In Mid Michigan

We have clear skies this afternoon, but smoke from the Canada wildfire give the appearance of a light cloud cover.  It isn’t hampering the sunlight much so it’s okay.  Winds aren’t as strong today and they were yesterday and our high should be about ten degrees warmer.  Yesterday looked pleasant enough until you stepped out the door into the wind.   Leaves on the trees are pretty much out all the way except for a few.  My perennial flowers seems to…

A big Cool-Down For Mid Michigan

A big Cool-Down For Mid Michigan

Today has been sunny, but our high barely made it to  60F,  and with a steady wind from the northeast, it hasn’t been very pleasant to be outdoors.  Tomorrow should be warmer and there is still no mention of rain until the weekend.  Our sky has a hazy look with smoke from wildfires in Canada.  We are being warned to avoid unnecessary burning because of very dry conditions.  The humidity and dew points have been very low for this time…

Pleasant Weather For Mid Michigan

Pleasant Weather For Mid Michigan

Our skies are mostly cloudy with filtered sun, but temperatures are very comfortable.  There is no rain expected until Friday and we do have some wind today.  Other than that, I can’t really say much more about today’s weather.  It was chilly overnight and I did have to turn the furnace on for a while this morning to get the chill out of the air.  I did some gardening yesterday and still have a little more to do.  I think…

Sunny And Warm – Mid Michigan

Our temperatures are back to where they should be although it was really cold this morning.  We didn’t have any frost but it felt like there could have been.  Temps should make it into the mid 70s today and mostly sunny all day.  It’s a bit breezy but that’s okay. Our 12:45 PM temperature is 70°F (21°C), the humidity is 31%. and winds are from the SSE at 3-6 mph.  The UV index is very high at 9 and the…
