Although I was up in Traverse City yesterday, I heard about the storms which rolled through southern Michigan.  One car dealership in Davison had every car on his lot damaged by baseball-sized hail.  Other areas h […]

Yesterday brought us no rain, but there were isolated storm cells that formed over parts of the state.  Several severe storm warnings were issued as well as one tornado warning.  None, however, happened in m […]

I’m seeing storms popping up on radar, but none heading our way as yet.  They are all to our north and east.  Hopefully, we’ll get some rain this afternoon.  It is quite breezy and it feels like a st […]

After a comfortable Sunday, our temperatures are once again too hot.  We could see a high of 90F this afternoon, and it already feels like an oven.  Our weather this year has been crazy with up-and-down t […]
