We woke to cloudy skies and a very heavy dew this morning.  At least, the temperatures are mild.  Yesterday was a partly cloudy day and a bit breezy, but we had warm temperatures and it was quite nice.  Today is […]

We are looking forward to a nice, warm week ahead.  Even though autumn is right around the corner, summer will be holding on for a bit longer.  My hope is that it will continue well into October.  Today is ex […]

There is a line of showers and thunderstorms moving in on us from the west that seems to be diminishing a bit as they approach.  If they don’t make it, that will be okay as we sure don’t need anymore right now […]

Yesterday was everything that they promised us it would be.  Heavy storms moved across the state dropping up to 3 inches of rain n some places and severe wind damage in others.  There were multiple tornado and s […]

Although my area was spared from any severe weather yesterday, the Bay City, Midland, and thumb areas weren’t so lucky.  There were various funnel clouds spotted resulting in tornado warnings but I haven’t heard […]

Today began with cloudy skies and now the rain has moved in.  Temps are expected to reach the mid 80s this afternoon and they have a ways to go if that’s going to happen.  Temperatures should remain very warm f […]

This morning is dark and dreary with a few stray raindrops adding to the mix.  The forecast is calling for a little sun this afternoon and I hope that it happens.  The days are becoming noticeably shorter and it i […]

Today will only see high temps in the upper 60s, but with the sun, it shouldn’t be too bad of a day.  Fall is really in the air and we can see a few trees beginning to show a little color  There is no rain in t […]

Yesterday was damp and cool with our high not even reaching 70°.  We had a rain shower, which left 0.23″ in my rain gauge, around noon.  The remainder of the day was cloudy with very few peeks of the sun.  I don […]

Our day started out with clouds, and rain was showing on radar, but I thought that it would stay to our north.  My son had a procedure done at the hospital this morning, and when we were ready to leave, it was […]

The storms that were predicted on Tuesday never happened, at least not in my area.  I haven’t heard of any damage reports so I think that the severity was a false alarm.  That happens a lot in weather predicting h […]

With Hurricane Dorian dominating the headlines, Michigan could have it’s own drama unfolding if today’s forecast is accurate.  We have the possibility of strong to severe storms moving in late this afternoon.  M […]

This morning is a bit cool and clouds have moved in over the past few hours.  We don’t have much planned for today.  My kids are all here and we had our last home campfire of the year last night.  It doesn’t re […]

There was only supposed to be a slight chance of rain for today but that has already changed.  Now it looks like there will be a good change for rain almost all day.  Hurricane Dorian has become a category 5 s […]

The New Lothrop tornado was first evaluated as an EF0.  I think that it will be more like an EF2 after all assessments are done.  There is every bit as much damage as what was done by the March 20th tornado that s […]

There were a line of thunderstorms which crossed over the state from the northwest late yesterday leaving 0.62″ of rain in my gauge.  Severe TS warnings were issued well into the storm and by that time we could […]

We should see highs near 80° today, then another cool down.  I received an alert from one of my weather apps that severe weather is possible for my area tonight.  The high school football season is starting to […]

Local meteorologists are saying that this cool down will probably be permanent, and temperatures reaching into the 80s will be few and far between.  I’m hoping that they’re wrong although I love the 70s.  This h […]

I’m loving this cool weather.  It’s just perfect for opening the windows and airing out the house.  Highs today should reach the mid to upper 70s and a nice breeze.  It just doesn’t get any better than th […]

Our lows last night fell into the 40s in some areas which is really cool for this date.  Right now, it is only 71°F and I don’t think it will get much warmer as the day goes on.  It’s even too chilly to open th […]
