Our Coldest Day, Then A Major Warmup For Mid Michigan

Our Coldest Day, Then A Major Warmup For Mid Michigan

This is a weird beginning of May to say the least.  We had rain showers yesterday that changed to snow flurries after dark.  There has been no accumulations here, but Marquette had a full-blown blizzard yesterday.  They now have close to 2 feet of snowpack.  The Yoopers love their winter sports, and this will give them one more chance to do what they love before the warm air moves in next week.  I’ve seen snow up north in May before,…

A Little Rain On Sunday But Monday Is Dry So Far – Mid Michigan

A Little Rain On Sunday But Monday Is Dry So Far – Mid Michigan

Yesterday brought a mix of rain and sun.  We did have a few quick rain showers throughout the day, and the sun did manage to peek out a few times.   All and all, it wasn’t a bad day.  Highs made it into the mid 50s, but with the wind, it was quite chilly to be outdoors.  Today and tomorrow will be our coldest of the week, then we should start seeing temps rise by next weekend.  Hopefully, this time for…

Our Sunday Beginning With A Little Sun – Mid Michigan

Our Sunday Beginning With A Little Sun – Mid Michigan

Our day is much different that what was predicted.  We have partly cloudy skies and it seems good to see the sun.  I was under the impression that today was going to be pretty much a washout.  The radar is showing a few small scattered showers to our southwest but nothing big.  Temperatures are much cooler, and with the wind, it will seem even colder.  There was 0.20″ in my rain gauge. Our 12:15 PM temperature is 49°F (9°C), the…

It’s Quite Nice On This Saturday Morning In Mid Michigan

It’s Quite Nice On This Saturday Morning In Mid Michigan

We couldn’t really complain about our weather this morning.  The rain has stopped and temps are very mild.  In fact, our high today is expected to rise to the mid 60s.  But there is rain coming at us from across Lake Michigan, which will bring much cooler temperatures with it.  Oh well, it will only last a few days so I think we can deal with that. Our 1:15 PM temperature is 57°F (14°C), the humidity is 74%, and skies…

Rain Has Moved In To Mid Michigan

Rain Has Moved In To Mid Michigan

The expected rain began about three hours ago, and although it isn’t heavy, it’s just hard enough to get you wet if you go out in it.  We had to do shopping today, but it wasn’t too bad.  Temperatures are in the 40s and only expected to reach the mid 50s today.  I’m not sure that’s going to happen.  This mass of cold air will remain with us through the weekend and into next week.  Even the first couple of…

A Very Pleasant Day Ahead For Mid Michigan

A Very Pleasant Day Ahead For Mid Michigan

Today will actually be nice with seasonable temperatures and plenty of sun.  Unfortunately, the weekend will once again be rainy and cold.  Next week’s temperature will still remain below average but temperatures should start warming up by the end of the week.  At least that’s what they’re telling us right now.  The morning began with some clouds but now it has cleared up.  There was no precipitation yesterday and today should also be dry. Our 10:45 AM temperature is 52°F…

Today’s Weather Will Be The Best For Awhile – Mid Michigan

Today’s Weather Will Be The Best For Awhile – Mid Michigan

Today and tomorrow’s weather will be the best that we’ll see for awhile.  So spending these two days outdoors is a great idea.  The South is in for some nastiness once again with large hail, damaging winds, and even some tornadoes possible.  My area will hang on to the cold weather until next week.  Then we should start seeing our temperatures moderate a bit closer to where they should be.  I’m hearing that we could see some snow flurries on…

Another Cold Day In Mid Michigan

Another Cold Day In Mid Michigan

Yesterday brought a few snow showers and was not a very pleasant day.  There was also a few drops of rain, but no measurable amounts.  I have seen snow flurries also this morning.  Our temperatures continue to remain in the 40s which is about 20 degrees below where they should be.  It isn’t going to get much better the remainder of this month, but the weather gurus are promising a big warm-up when May gets here.  I sure hope so….

Feels Like A Day In March – Mid Michigan

Feels Like A Day In March – Mid Michigan

Yes, we did have a snow shower earlier today and it was not a welcome sight.  Temperatures won’t make it out of the 40s today, which is 20 degrees below normal.  But it is what it is and the rest of this month won’t be much better.  I guess we’re paying for the week of 70-80 degree weather that we had.  Hopefully, it will be much warmer when May begins. Our 3:45 PM temperature is 47°F (8°C), the humidity is…

Should Be A Dry Day For Mid Michigan

Should Be A Dry Day For Mid Michigan

We had intermittent rain showers on Saturday which left us with about quarter of an inch of rain.  Although today is mostly cloudy, the forecast is only calling for a slight chance of rain.  Temperatures are about 20 degrees below where they should be, but these roller coaster temps have been with us since the year began.  We are all waiting for the warm weather to come and stay.  It’s hard to believe that it’s the end of April already…
