Today doesn’t feel much like summer with highs only expected to reach the mid 60s.  At least the sun is shining and that helps a little.  Winds are light also, so no wind chill effect.  The next 4-5 days are ex […]

Our generally cooler and drier patterns of May transitioned into warmer and wetter conditions for the first third of June. 70s max temps began the month comfortably but abruptly changed to hot 90s on the third […]

Yesterday was almost perfect with clear skies, comfortable temperatures, and a nice breeze.  It seemed good to have the windows open.  Early yesterday evening, a storm sprang up dumping 0.11 inches on us, then s […]

Although we didn’t get any severe weather here where I live, others in the state were not as lucky.  There was a tremendous amount of damage done around Bay City and Saginaw, and also on the western side of the […]

As the remnants of Tropical Storm Cristobol approach our area, with it comes heavy rain and possible severe weather of every kind.  Temperatures last night never fell much below 80 degrees most of the night and […]

Before diving into the usual topic of this blog (weather), I wanted to acknowledge the obvious:  These are […]

The morning is starting out very warm with temps already in the mid 70s.  Tropical Storm Cristobol is heading in our direction and our weather could be affected by tonight.  Behind it will bring much cooler t […]

Yesterday was cloudy most of the day, but the sun began to peak through by 5 PM.  We received a little rain but hardly enough to wet the surface and that was fine.  This morning is starting out with clear skies a […]

We have rain in our forecast for this afternoon, and radar is showing it already in the western portions of the state.  I’m hoping that most stays to our south, but even at that, it isn’t expected to be that […]

We drove up here yesterday under sunny skies and very warm temperatures.  We are expecting this weather to remain through the weekend with just a chance for rain on Friday.  After all the rain that we’ve had, t […]

TEMPERATURES
May 2020 averaged around two degrees above normal for this area but varied widely through the month. The first 3 days were chilly, with Maximums holding in the 50s to low 60s, warming to the upper […]

Our generally cooler than normal pattern persisted over the last third of the month, with a few notable warm 80s max interludes. We continued to also be drier than normal though we did have 5 measurable rainfall […]

Today will really feel like summer with highs expected in the upper 80s.  The weekend was a bit chilly but nice for working in the yard.  Sunday night finished off with a shower which left 0.19″ in my gauge.  Th […]

The cover photo was taken by Dennis Brown during Saturday morning’s storm. Thanks for sharing, Dennis! Information in this post is accurate as of 8:00 am PDT Saturday.

The Storm Prediction Center has upgraded […]

After 2 days of rain, today’s skies are clear although temperatures are below normal.  We received 0.22″ of rain yesterday early in the day.  Then the afternoon turned mostly sunny and this should continue t […]

Today is starting out with light to moderate rain and temperatures much cooler than what we have had.  There was only 0.08″ in my rain gauge at 9 AM, but we have had heavier rain showers since then.  Northern M […]

Rain is something that we don’t need, but there seems to be no end to it.  The forecast is calling for  up to an inch of precip over the next few days.  Storms formed yesterday afternoon, but all we got was a fe […]

Highs reached near 90F yesterday and a few storms developed, but we only had a few sprinkles here.  It’s amazing that we haven’t turned the AC off over the past 3 days, and it looks like we’ll be needing the […]

I’m committing one of the cardinal sins of weather blogging here: putting a high-impact, but uncertain, forecast in the title of a weather blog. I truly believe that this is an unethical practice, and that those […]

A very warm day led to some afternoon thunderstorms on Saturday.  We barely caught the edge of them, and there was only 0.08″ in my rain gauge this morning.    Today will be another hot day with highs expected to […]
