Some Sun Early, But Now . . . . . . Mid Michigan

Some Sun Early, But Now . . . . . . Mid Michigan

It was nice and bright this morning, but now clouds have moved in.  Rain is in the forecast for later this afternoon and tonight.  At least it’s rain and not snow.  Our weather continues to be mild.  Unfortunately, this warm weather is bringing more severe storms to the south, and they sure don’t need anymore of that.  California is having their problems too, so I’m considering us to be lucky. Our 12:30 PM temperature is 38°F, the humidity is 59%…

Sunny But Cold In Mid Michigan

Sunny But Cold In Mid Michigan

After almost a week of gloom, we finally have clear skies.  But with that came very cold temperatures.  It was only 12F when I got up this morning.  We should see a substantial warm-up later but temps will probably not rise above the freezing mark.  Another significant rise in temperatures is coming our way with highs above average.  That will spell more severe weather for the southern states, and I’m sure that they’ve had enough of that. Our 11:45 AM…

Cloudy But Mild In Mid Michigan

Cloudy But Mild In Mid Michigan

Just another gloomy day in mid Michigan, but seeing the sun the past two days was lovely.  We have rain in our forecast for today but nothing so far.  In fact, all the rain yesterday stayed to our south.   We are noticing a little more light now in the evening and it isn’t completely now at 5 PM.   It’s hard to believe that January is almost half over already and we’re still waiting for that hard winter that was predicted. …

Filtered Sun For Our Tuesday – Mid Michigan

Filtered Sun For Our Tuesday – Mid Michigan

Local forecasters told us to enjoy the sun yesterday because today would be cloudy once again.  Well, they were partially right.  We have had sunshine all morning although there is a thin layer of clouds also.  I’ll take it.  Temperatures are above average and winds are light.  It is quite a nice day.  We are expecting some rain later but not that much. Our 12:30 PM temperature is 38°F, the humidity is 78% and skies are partly cloudy.  Winds are…

Finally! Some Sun! – Mid Michigan

Finally! Some Sun! – Mid Michigan

What a difference a day with sunlight makes!  Our local station is already warning us to enjoy it because tomorrow will be cloudy once again.  I can’t remember the last time that we saw the sun but it’s been at least two weeks, maybe longer.  My prime weather guru, Ryan Hall, said that our part of the country will see above-average temperatures for most of the remaining January.  So what does that mean?  That we’ll be pummeled with unrelenting winter…

So Far, No Sun, But I Keep Hoping – Mid Michigan

So Far, No Sun, But I Keep Hoping – Mid Michigan

We were supposed to see a little sun today but so far, it’s a no-show.  Also, temperatures aren’t rising very fast either, and we are far from our expected high today.  It looks like this will be just another blah day in Michigan.  I guess I should just be happy that there is no snow to contend with, and we aren’t getting massive rain amounts like the west coast.  It’s still early and maybe the sun could still make an…

Not Much Change In Mid Michigan

Not Much Change In Mid Michigan

Our weather pattern has become stagnant, but we should see some changes beginning tomorrow.  I don’t think we’ll see much if any sun today, but it would be nice to see a little clearing later.  The past four days have given us wet, chilly, gloomy weather.  We had light snow mixed with rain yesterday, which left a trace of snow on the deck.  Temperatures have remained unchanged, hovering close to the freezing mark.  I don’t mind the cold temps, I…

Another Not-Too-Nice Day In Mid Michigan

Another Not-Too-Nice Day In Mid Michigan

Yesterday brought us a mix of rain and snow which became mostly snow as the day wore on.  It did leave a light covering which has melted since then.  Today is just damp and chilly, but temperatures are still above average.  At least we aren’t getting flooded like the west coast is.  I’m just wondering how all of this rain will affect Lake Mead, which was 27 ft. below normal level at one point.  I’d like to hear from those…

Light Rain / Snow For Our Thursday – Mid Michigan

Light Rain / Snow For Our Thursday – Mid Michigan

Today is damp and cold, a typical dreary January day.  We’ve been having a mix of rain and snow since this morning, but not enough to measure.  At least there isn’t much wind to make it even more miserable.  I’ve got my running around done for the day so I’m good. Our 1:30 PM temperature is 38°F, the humidity is 92%, and skies are overcast.  Winds are from the south at 2-6 mph and the wind chill is 35°F    The…

Another Foggy Day In Mid Michigan

Another Foggy Day In Mid Michigan

Today is foggy once again, and it (the fog) doesn’t seem to be going anywhere.  Visibility is less than a mile and we have had intermittent rain showers most of the morning.  Radar is showing most of the rain to be gone now, but temps will remain mild.  This is probably the last of the 40-50 degree weather for awhile.  The upcoming cooling trend will still bring highs above average, so we really can’t complain.  There is no snow forecasted…
