Today will be a bit cooler than normal, and a few showers will hang around.  We aren’t expecting much rain and most of it missed us yesterday.  There was only 0.06″ in my gauge this morning.  It shouldn’t be to […]

After an absolutely wonderful day Tuesday, today is starting out very wet.  Highs rose into the mid 70s yesterday even though local weather gurus are showing our high to only be around 70°F.  I was sitting ou […]

We couldn’t ask for a nicer start to the day than what we have.  The sun is shining, the birds are singing in full chorus, and it is quite warm.  We do have rain in our forecast for later today, but we’ll just e […]

As the DC/Baltimore area is just about past its normal period of freezing weather in the Spring, it has been one of the milder seasons regarding freezing temperatures. Historically, most locations outside of the […]

Yesterday was lovely and today should be just as nice.  We took a drive out to Sleepy Hollow state park in Laingsburg, and couldn’t believe how many people were out there.  The parking lots had more cars that we u […]

Today looks to be quite nice with no rain in the forecast and highs near normal.  The wind will be a bit brisk but that’s okay.  We should see quite a bit of sun and that is always nice.  I think we’ll take a ri […]

Today is supposed to be cloudy but our morning is very sunny so far.  Highs should reach near the normal mark and it should be a decent day, even if we don’t see much sun.  There is no rain in the forecast until e […]

It seems good to have a mild morning for a change.  We received 0.27″ of rain yesterday and that seems to be over for a few days.  The weekend isn’t looking too bad and our highs should reach closer to normal in t […]

Yesterday was dry for the most part, but then snow showers began in the late afternoon and the snow accumulation was about 0.2″.   Late last night, it warmed a bit and the snow changed to rain.  Now there is no si […]

When I was trying to think of non forecast-related topics to blog about the other day, all the topics that came to my mind were depressing. I didn’t want to write about our worsening drought situation or the the […]

We should be seeing highs in the 60s this time of year and Mother Nature is giving us only 40s.  What’s worse is that this is expected to continue through the weekend.  We were having nicer weather in March.  Ye […]

More dynamic forces were at work during this latest period, as the strong, significant cold frontal passage on the 13th with accompanying severe weather and a pattern change to cooler temperatures carried […]

We woke to about half an inch of graupel this morning.  Rain moved in about 11 PM last night leaving 0.13″ in my gauge.  Temperatures fell, winds picked up and the rain changed to frozen precip.  That will be th […]

What is with all of this cold weather this April?  It just can’t seem to warm up and stay warm this year.  Now they are telling us that we have another bout of very chilly weather with snow coming over the next f […]

Saturday’s rain was refreshing, wasn’t it? Some spots saw far more rain than forecast as a weak upper-level low slowly drifted southeastward from the Olympic Peninsula through the Willamette Valley and into […]

Good morning!  I wasn’t planning to write much more on weather for a few weeks.  I’ve had plans to write about the pandemic, the economy, and greater social and political implications for the future.  But fi […]

After a day of intermittent snow showers and temps which were 10 degrees below normal, we finally have some sun and average temperatures.  What’s even better is that the extended forecast is calling for more of […]

I wasn’t happy to see snow falling this morning but hopefully, this will be the end of it for the season.  We could get up to an inch but for now, most seems to be melting on contact.  Highs today will be about 2 […]

Our morning is seeing a mix of sun, clouds and light snow showers.  At least the winds have diminished a bit.  This weather is hard to take after the past few weeks, but this is typical for spring in Michigan.  Th […]
