Our morning began with sunny skies and frost.  Temps today won’t make it out of the 40s, but with the sun, it will still be pleasant.   We usually don’t get this many sunny days in November, so this is gr […]

We had a little rain this morning.  There was only 0.04″ in my gauge and most seems to be done for the day.  Radar is showing it moving out of the state, and very cold temperatures moving in.  Strong winds wi […]

Today will be the last of our sunny, warm weather.  Rain is suppose to move in tonight, and with it comes much cooler temperatures.   The rain is predicted for Friday, then clear weather for the weekend.  Tem […]

I can’t really say more than it’s gorgeous outdoors.  Our temp is in the 60s and winds are light.  We should have had more of this in October.  Unfortunately, the end is coming and more seasonable weather wi […]

Today will be a beauty with plenty of sun, mild temperatures, and light winds.   I don’t think that we can expect too many more like this considering that it’s the middle of November already.  There is no ra […]

We have a lot of wind today although skies are clear and the temperature is pretty mild.  I wouldn’t want to be outdoors much because it feels chilly in   spite of the temperature.  Yesterday brought a mix of […]

Our Sunday is starting out with plenty of sun but very chilly temperatures.  With the wind now picking up, it won’t be very warm to be out and about today, even with the sun.   Yesterday wasn’t too bad al […]

The day began with clear skies and frost, but now more clouds have moved it.  Winds are light so it doesn’t feel too cold.  We have a warmup coming next week with highs expected in the 50s for most of it.  Al […]

October 2023 averaged slightly above Normal but was rather typical in that the warmest weather occurred towards the beginning of the month. Of the three official Portland weather stations (Downtown, […]

We had off and on rain showers early yesterday, which left 0.30″ in my rain gauge.  The afternoon became dry, but then a line of thunderstorms moved over us in the evening.  There was quite a lightning show, a […]

It is a dark and gloomy day in Michigan with many areas having rain and wintry mixes.  We had rain this morning but most now remains to our north.  This is the type of day when I wish we had snow.  At least it […]

After a very mild Monday, today feels more seasonable.  Highs won’t make it out of the 40s and I think our mild weather is done for a while.  All the thunderstorms missed us yesterday except for a few s […]

There was quite an impressive line of thunderstorms coming off Lake Michigan this morning, but they continued to fall apart as they moved across the state; most that would have affected us, dwindled before […]

This morning began with dense fog, but the sun burned it off and it turned into a mostly sunny, mild afternoon.  We do have a thin cloud cover but not enough to hide the sun, and winds are very light.  Today w […]
