Blustery, Falling Temperatures In Mid Michigan

Blustery, Falling Temperatures In Mid Michigan

Yesterday finished with temps in the low 50s and very strong winds.  They really ramped up after midnight and we are under a wind advisory which should be expiring soon.  We are expected to see a little sun this afternoon, and I hope that happens.  It seems so dark and dreary right now.  Temps have been falling all morning and are expected to only be in the 20s later. Our 1 PM temperature is 34°F, the humidity is 76% and…

Another Cold, Windy Day – Mid Michigan

Although today isn’t as bad as tomorrow is expected to be, it still is not a comfortable day to be outdoors.  Another cold front is on the horizon and it will bring another day of very strong winds on Saturday.  I guess we may as well get used to it.  The think the cold is here to stay.

Quite Nice Here In Mid Michigan

Quite Nice Here In Mid Michigan

Our morning began with mostly cloudy skies, but since then, it has cleared up nicely although it is quite cold.  The wind has diminished so it isn’t too bad outdoors at all.  There is another cold front coming our way for the weekend, and winds will be ramping up to around 40 mph once again.  I’m hoping that this will be the last of the blustery weather.  Today is the first day of meteorological winter, which is what I go…

Strong Winds Will Be The Issue Today – Mid Michigan

Strong Winds Will Be The Issue Today – Mid Michigan

We are under a high wind warning until 10 pm, with gusts as high as 45 mph possible.  This is from the cold front which arrived overnight and caused tornadoes and much wind damage in the south.  The winds will be with us through the weekend, from what I understand.  There is more warm air heading our way, followed by another cold front, which will keep things unstable for a while.   That’s normal for November.  Thursday is my shopping day,…

A Stormy Day For The South – Mid Michigan

A Stormy Day For The South – Mid Michigan

A strong storm system is setting up in the south with severe storms and tornadoes expected.  Fortunately for us, all we’re expecting is rain and strong winds.  Local forecasters are warning of possible 45 mph gusts.  Right now it is quiet and most isn’t expected until tonight and tomorrow.  We have several cold fronts heading our way preempted by fairly warm temps and this will continue into next week.  No stability is expected until mid to late December.  It’s too…

Rain And Fog For Our Sunday – Mid Michigan

Rain And Fog For Our Sunday – Mid Michigan

It is a rather yucky day and I expect that it will be raining most of it.  Temperatures are right around where they should be for this date, and winds are light.  Looks like we’ll be stuck indoors today so maybe I’ll watch corny Christmas movies or something. Our 1:15 PM temperature is 39°F, the humidity is 96% with light rain and fog.  Winds are from the NE at 2-10 mph, and visibility is only 3 miles.  The dew point…

Breezy, Sunny And Mild For Our Saturday – Mid Michigan

The only thing that would make today better is if there were light winds.  Everything else is perfect.  Skies are clear and temps are in the mid 50s.  Our Thanksgiving weather was great but the remaining weekend looks to be a bit wet.  I’m seeing rain tomorrow in the forecast.  At least our holiday was nice so no complaints here. Our 2:45 PM temperature is 55°F, the humidity is 37% and skies are clear.  Winds are from the WSW at…

Black Friday Looking Quite Bright – Mid Michigan

Black Friday Looking Quite Bright – Mid Michigan

Our day began with clouds but fairly mild temperatures.  The radar overnight appeared to show rain passing over my area, but there was no sign of any this morning.  The air must have been too dry.  But now the sky has cleared and temps are still quite mild.  There is still the chance for rain over the weekend but, like last night, it may not happen. Our 3 PM temperature is 48°F, the humidity is 54% and winds are from…

A Beautiful Thanksgiving Day For Mid Michigan

A Beautiful Thanksgiving Day For Mid Michigan

We couldn’t have a nicer day for our holiday meal.  My husband is cooking the turkey on the spit, something we’ve never tried before, so I hope it turns out well.  Unfortunately, there is a chance of rain later but I’m hoping that it holds off until the overnight.  Highs today are expected to reach the mid 50s. Our 11:45 AM temperature is 52°F, the humidity is 49%, and winds are from the SW at 7-10 mph.  The dew point…

A Beautiful Day Following The Storm – Mid Michigan

A Beautiful Day Following The Storm – Mid Michigan

Our skies cleared yesterday and we lost most of our snow.  This morning was frosty but temperatures are expected to rise into the mid 40s this afternoon.  This will continue through Thanksgiving day, but then rain is expected by Thursday night and the following 3 days.  At least the temps won’t be so cold.  This is much too early for this kind of weather although it isn’t unprecedented.  Regardless, this shouldn’t be happening in my opinion.  I really shouldn’t complain…
