With Hurricane Dorian dominating the headlines, Michigan could have it’s own drama unfolding if today’s forecast is accurate.  We have the possibility of strong to severe storms moving in late this afternoon.  M […]

This morning is a bit cool and clouds have moved in over the past few hours.  We don’t have much planned for today.  My kids are all here and we had our last home campfire of the year last night.  It doesn’t re […]

Sunday was the beginning of September and with it the promise of cooler fall weather eventually. The day was partly sunny, dry, a bit cooler, still moderately humid with some light rain in the area in the […]

There was only supposed to be a slight chance of rain for today but that has already changed.  Now it looks like there will be a good change for rain almost all day.  Hurricane Dorian has become a category 5 s […]

The New Lothrop tornado was first evaluated as an EF0.  I think that it will be more like an EF2 after all assessments are done.  There is every bit as much damage as what was done by the March 20th tornado that s […]

Friday was a mostly sunny, dry day, warmer, moderately humid as yesterday, but still relatively pleasant. High temperatures reached the mid 80s by mid-afternoon after a cool early AM with mins in the upper 50s, […]

There were a line of thunderstorms which crossed over the state from the northwest late yesterday leaving 0.62″ of rain in my gauge.  Severe TS warnings were issued well into the storm and by that time we could […]

Thursday was a sunny, dry day, a tad warmer, enough to break a 6 day streak of sub 80 degree max temps (using rounded to the nearest degree values) but gradually less humid and generally pleasant.  High t […]

We should see highs near 80° today, then another cool down.  I received an alert from one of my weather apps that severe weather is possible for my area tonight.  The high school football season is starting to […]

Wednesday was mostly cloudy, a tad warmer and more humid as our pleasant weather changed into a bit of uncomfortable higher dew points that prompted me to put the A/C on again. We had mid-afternoon showers (0.31 […]

Well once again I got really busy, mostly with compiling and disseminating my July weather summary and a shopping order plus a few grocery store visits that I have been remiss on posting my daily weather updates […]

by Kevin Shaw, Observer

July 2019 was wetter and warmer than normal. My max temp (89.0°) was 2.7° above normal and my min temp (69.9°) was even a bit mo […]

Local meteorologists are saying that this cool down will probably be permanent, and temperatures reaching into the 80s will be few and far between.  I’m hoping that they’re wrong although I love the 70s.  This h […]

I’m loving this cool weather.  It’s just perfect for opening the windows and airing out the house.  Highs today should reach the mid to upper 70s and a nice breeze.  It just doesn’t get any better than th […]

Our lows last night fell into the 40s in some areas which is really cool for this date.  Right now, it is only 71°F and I don’t think it will get much warmer as the day goes on.  It’s even too chilly to open th […]

Thursday was not quite as hot as earlier in the week with temps rising into the upper 80s due to more clouds than sun and stormy evening periods in evening, still quite humid into the evening with the storm. We […]
