Mid Michigan Weather

Our cooler weather continues for the next few days before the next hot spell moves in.  Personally, I love this weather.  It’s perfect as far as I’m concerned.  One can go outdoors and enjoy it without getting overheated.  Unfortunately, rain always seem to come with it, and we’ve had plenty of that lately.  The rain isn’t supposed to arrive until this afternoon and continue until early tomorrow. Our 10:30 AM temperature is 68°F (20°C), the humidity is 81%, and winds…

We had a few quicky showers early yesterday which left 0.03″ in my rain gauge.  It rained quite hard but only lasted a few minutes.  Other than that, our Saturday was mostly sunny and nice.  Today will bring a mix of sun and clouds but no rain is expected.  We should also be able to give the AC a rest. Our 10:30 AM temperature is 69°F (21°C), the humidity is 73%, and winds are from the NW at 1-6 mph. …

Although we had no severe weather yesterday, we did have a few thunderstorms that passed over giving us 0.45″ of rainfall.  Other areas weren’t as lucky.  Perry, a small town about 15 miles to our southwest, was hit by a tornado about 8:30 last evening.  What was ironic is that the tornado hit their tornado siren, so there was so warning.  It is still too early to estimate the damage and it’s rating, but there are no reported injuries or…

Right now, the storms are remaining well to our north, but NOAA is giving us a 70% chance for them to reach our area later this afternoon.  Some could be heavy with small hail and strong winds, but nothing severe is really expected. Right now it is quite pleasant and temps are only in the mid 70s.  Highs should only reach the upper 70s to near 80°F. Our 1:15 PM temperature is 75°F (24°C), the humidity is 59%, and skies…

Our forecast is calling for only a slight chance of rain, but looking at the sky, it looks like some storms may be brewing.  It won’t be as warm today and the humidity isn’t as high.  So far it’s been mostly sunny and pleasant.  Not a bad day at all. Our 1:30 PM temperature is 76°F (24°C), the humidity is 67%, and skies are mostly cloudy.  Winds are from the west at 4-8 mph, and the dew point is 61°F…

We had a popup thundershower yesterday evening which dropped 0.16″ of rain on us.  It was just a small cell which formed just to our northwest, and it moved right over us.  It didn’t last very long, and fell apart as quickly as it formed.  It was just enough to get everything wet.  The rest of yesterday was nice.  Temperatures were comfortable and no mosquitoes. Our 12:15 PM temperature is 79°F (26°C), the humidity is 61% and skies are clear. …

Today is sunny and temperatures and humidity are at a comfortable level.  We couldn’t ask for anything better.  The forecast is saying that we could see some rain this afternoon but that remains to be seen.  We certainly don’t need anymore at this time. Our 12:15 PM temperature is 78°F (26°C), the humidity is a comfortable 58%, and skies are mostly clear.  Breezes are light at 4-9 mph from the WNW, and the dew point is 58°F (14°C).  The pressure…

We had rain all day Sunday.  It ranged from light sprinkles to heavy downpours.  We received a total of 1.51″ by the time it ended.  I’m sure the mosquitoes are happy.  Today has been a grey, damp day although no rain so far.  Our highs never made it out of the low 60s yesterday and today won’t be very warm either.  Tomorrow should bring back normal temps. Our 12:30 PM temperature is 64°F (18°C), the humidity is 82% and skies…

It started raining early this morning and has continued since then, with a few breaks.  There was 0.14 in in my gauge at 8:30 and I’m not sure how much more has fallen since then.  Radar shows that it may have a ways to go before it ends.  At least I won’t have to water anything for a few days. Our 1:45 PM temperature is 62°F (17°C), the humidity is 94%, and skies are overcast with moderate rain.  The pressure…

I almost hate bragging about our great weather when so much of the country is melting and dehydrating.  But I guess when you choose to live in parts of the country that have no winter weather, you have to accept the good with the bad.  As for me, I’ll gladly put up with a little snow to not deal with the summer extremes.  Also, I love the season changes.  Autumn is one of my favorites.  Right now, we have a…
