Greetings, weather folks!  I’m back from my five-day road trip to Southern Oregon and Northern California.  As a kid I got to drive through the area several times during family visits to relatives in the Bay A […]

Today is sunny but cooler than yesterday.  We also have a fairly strong breeze which keeps it feeling uncomfortably chilly if you aren’t wearing a jacket.  This weather is expected to continue until the latter p […]

October couldn’t have come in any better than it did.  We could see highs near 70F today but winds are expected to be quite brisk.  This weather will probably only last another week or so as I’m seeing highs o […]

Our weather is shaping up to be a great start for the first of October.  We are getting into the frost season and it won’t be long until the summer flowers will all be gone.  My Mums are all open and will resist t […]

Yesterday was dreary and cold.  It really set the mood for following Hurricane Ian on YouTube, riding along with the storm chasers.  I have many relatives and friends in Florida and I’m still concerned for those t […]

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 […]
