We had intermittent rain showers yesterday which produced 0.18″ of rain.  Today is turning out to be much the same.  We did start the day with some sun, but it didn’t last long.  Temperatures are a little co […]

Temperatures aren’t expected to even reach 60F today, and this will continue for the next 3 days.  At least we don’t have to worry about a hurricane, although some weather gurus are saying that it could head in […]

It’s as if Mother Nature decided that now that summer is officially over, we should be getting fall weather.  No more warm temperatures for us!  We went from AC weather to running the furnace almost overnight.  Lo […]

Today is the Fall Equinox, which means that we are now passing into the “dark half” of the year.   Of course, due to seasonal lag it’s not quite the cold half of the year yet; that threshold is still  nearly a mon […]

Yesterday brought thunderstorms which lasted from 5 PM to near 10 PM.  There was one after another with a lot of lightning, some striking very close to us.  Heavy rainfall left 1.35″ in my gauge this morning.  Th […]

We haven’t had any rain yet, but the radar is showing it getting very close.  The remainder of my flowers would greatly appreciate it.  Rain has been sparse this month, and that’s a bit strange for September in M […]

Southern portions of the state saw some  hefty thunderstorms overnight, but we weren’t that lucky.  I am seeing some lightning strikes on my weather station but all we got in rain was 0.01″. Some areas received u […]

We will have temperatures in the low to mid 80s these next few days, then I’m pretty sure they’ll be gone for the year.  But being Michigan, one never knows.  Today is beautiful with clear skies and just enough b […]

This morning is absolutely lovely but I’m hearing that big changes will be coming next week.  This weather can certainly spoil you, but we know what’s ahead.  I’m seeing changes in the foliage  with a little mo […]

Just when we think that the AC weather is over for the year, Mother Nature sends more hot air our way.  I’m not really complaining as long as it isn’t humid.  We also have a stretch of dry weather which is a bit u […]

Last Monday morning, Portland Airport reported 0.01″ of rainfall in the gauge.  For practical purposes that amount is meaningless. But for the weather geeks, it means that our long stretch of no measurable precip […]

Today is the first that we have noticed some of the trees having colored leaves.  It seems a bit late to me as we usually see this in late August.  But that’s a sure sign that autumn is really here.  Te […]

TEMPERATURES
August 2022 was a historically warm month, not only the warmest August at the Portland Airport but was the warmest month of all-time, with the data record going back to Nov. 1940. Even the […]

After a few very fall-like days, summer weather seems to be returning once again.  Temps will reach the 80s by the weekend and early next week.  The humidity will be low so it will be great for anyone doing end o […]

The rains came late yesterday.  We received a little over half and inch from late afternoon into the overnight.  It was badly needed.  Radar is showing rain moving around a low pressure center located over so […]

Showers and a few thunderstorms moved across the eastern half of lower Michigan last night, but we didn’t get anything here.  This morning began with a few sprinkles and cloudy skies but no significant rain so […]

This weather event has played out as expected so far, with gusty, very dry easterly winds over parts of Western Washington and Western Oregon and rapid growth on existing fires. Smoke has also spread […]

Skies were clear this morning, but now mostly cloudy skies have appeared.  We do have rain in our forecast for this afternoon and we really could use it.  The lawn is getting brown again.  Today should be the wa […]

A critical fire weather event is now underway for SW Washington and Western Oregon. Satellite imagery shows two large smoke plumes emanating from the Double Creek Fire in Central Oregon and the Goat Rocks Fire in […]

There really isn’t much more to say about our weather other than it being great!  We are expecting it to end, however, with much cooler temps and rain for the weekend and into early next week.  Regardless, our w […]
