We have gorgeous weather for our holiday weekend with summer-like temperatures.  Today should reach the low 80s and highs near  90°F tomorrow.  There is no rain mentioned in the forecast until Wednesday, so tha […]

Today feels like a day in July with the air so full of moisture.  We have had stop-and-go rain since this morning, although showers are becoming more numerous as the afternoon wears on.  We had showers overnight w […]

We are finally starting to see some summer-like weather over the Pacific Northwest. I went for a nice bike ride on Sunday down to West Point in Discovery Park, and the weather was absolutely perfect, with highs t […]

We have mostly clear skies, light breezes and comfortable temperatures.  It’s the perfect day for doing some gardening.  I went out and bought more perennials today, as I’m trying to change all my gardens to t […]

Another cold front has moved through the state, and once again, our temperatures are below average.  Many of us are wondering if this will be ongoing through the summer.  It’s time to warm up and stay there, but M […]

It seems like our weather just cannot warm up and stay there.  We have constant roller-coaster temperatures which are causing too much rain as well as severe storms.  Gaylord, MI was hit by an F3 tornado on F […]

This morning is beginning with plenty of sun, breezy, and very warm.  This is the prelude for tomorrow’s weather.  Actually, most of the storms are expected tomorrow night which I’m not happy about, especially w […]

This will not be a “work outdoors” day for us.  With all this rain, it’s hard to keep up with lawn mowing.  It seems like we just mow it, and have to start all over again.  We mow about 2.5 acres so it’s quite a […]

After a week of “hot” temperatures, some cooler weather is refreshing.  I don’t do well when the temperature gets over 80°F, but with the low humidity that we’ve had, it hasn’t been too bad.  The roller-coaster te […]

Yesterday began with clear skies, but it didn’t last long.  About 2 PM, the clouds started rolling in, and the radar showed developing small scattered cells  of thunderstorms developing , mainly to our south.  As […]

I’ve been sick for the past 10 days, with my worst cold infection since the pre-Covid era.  Only the first 3 days were really acute; the problem is that the symptoms are very slow to leave.  I was going to w […]

Once again, we have a nice, sunny morning.  Temperatures are rising quickly which will probably usher in some  storms this afternoon.  The Weather Service is telling us to expect some strong storms, possible re […]

Yesterday was wonderful and today will be as well.  So far, our sky is clear and temps are already in the low 80s.  Our weather is expected to take a turn tomorrow with a bit of a cool-down and possible t […]

The leaves have really popped out over the past two days.  It’s amazing what a couple of 80 degree days will do.  The storms that I mentioned yesterday never reached us, and it seems that not many got much rain f […]

TEMPERATURES
April 2022 was quite a chilly one as nearly every day this month averaged below Normal. In fact, only a day or two averaged more than a +1° departure from Normal.  The warmest day, oddly, occurred e […]

Radar is showing a fragmented thunderstorm moving in my direction.  In fact, it’s been on the radar for the past 3 hours but doesn’t seem to know where it want’s to go.  There was a large red cell which seemed t […]

La Ninas typically feature cool and wet springs, and the 2021-2022 La Nina has had that in spades. According to Chief Fox12 Meteorologist Mark Nelsen, Portland just experienced its wettest April on record, the […]

Mother’s Day was quite nice, but we lost our sun half way through the day.  Radar showed some light showers over much of the state but the humidity and dew point was too low for any of it to reach the ground.  T […]

Our day began with clear skies and moderate temperatures.  Now, clouds have taken over but temperatures are quite warm.    Winds aren’t too strong so it is a very pleasant day.  Each day this week will cont […]

The only thing that could make today better would be either warmer temperatures or less wind.  Otherwise, It’s perfect.  We had light rain and clouds half of yesterday, and even when the rain stopped, it was w […]
