Looking at the radar last night, I was certain that everything would be wet this morning.  It didn’t happen.  It managed to fall apart just before reaching my area.  I’m seeing rain right now approaching but it do […]

This weather has been wonderful.  There were a few storms that popped up yesterday afternoon which clouded our skies for a few hours, but they fell apart before reaching us.  We went from flooded lawns and f […]

It seemed like summer would never get here, but now it has and it’s wonderful.  The past two days have been sunny with low humidity.  Even though highs were in the low 80s, it was comfortable without the AC o […]

If you like summer weather, this week is perfect.  We have clear skies, low humidity and dew points, and temperatures at a very comfortable level.  I’m wishing that I were at the campground up north.  We’ll be go […]

Yesterday was another where we had pop-up storms but they all managed to miss us.  The few that did form caused quite a bit of damage but thankfully, they were small and only affected small areas.  We still have a […]

There is a cold front approaching the state which spawned some pretty powerful thunderstorms yesterday.  Fortunately, we were spared and didn’t even get a drop here.   More are in the forecast for today with mu […]

Last night, we kept hearing noises that sounded like thunder, but there were no storms appearing near us on radar.  Others  had reported hearing these also.   I did see a few flashes of lightning way off i the dis […]

Once again, our temps will reach the upper 80s with thunderstorms in the mix.  The weather service is showing us in a slight risk area for severe weather.  Hopefully, that won’t happen.  This weekend is my hu […]

Summer weather came to Michigan with a “bang” this year.  We went from a chilly, April-May type weather to very hot as of July 1.  For awhile, we were wondering if summer was ever going to get here.  At least we […]

The past two days were wonderful with plenty of sun and cool temperatures.  It was nice to have the windows open for a change.  But today will bring the heat back.  Highs are expected to reach the mid 80s.  We hav […]

It’s a joy to be outdoors today with cool temps, low humidity and a comfortable dew point.  We finally got our power back yesterday evening and it felt so good to turn the AC back on.  Our generator does pretty w […]

We haven’t had power now since about 5:30 yesterday afternoon.  We thought that it might be a quick fix until we looked at the power outage map.  It is quite extensive.  The storm that we got was more wind than an […]

Severe storms started popping up in the afternoon yesterday, affecting mostly the western side of the state.  We didn’t get any here, just a little rain and distant rolling thunder coming at us from all […]

I’d move to Florida if I wanted to deal with this kind of weather. It is very hot, humid, and just miserable out there this morning.  We are under a excessive heat warning until tomorrow night and it can’t come […]

Today will not be the ideal day to be outdoors doing anything.  The heat index is expected to be well over 100° and that’s in the shade.  I’m seeing some storms moving in off Lake Michigan toward us but future ra […]

Today is a bit cooler than it has been, but with the high dew point and humidity, it feel like a sauna outdoors.  I thank the good Lord that I have AC.  This morning is cloudy as was yesterday.  We had a few sh […]

Thunderstorms developed right over our area yesterday afternoon putting an end to our dry spell.  I never did hear what the highest gust of wind was but I’m speculating that it had to be around 50-60  mph.  Ma […]

This morning is pleasantly cool with cloudy skies and thunderstorms in our forecast for this afternoon.   It has been over a week since we’ve had a decent rain, and with temps near 90° everyday, the ground is re […]

With all the complaining that we did about too much rain, now we could really use some.  We haven’t had a good rain since July 5, and with all of this heat, it is really getting dry.  Today will still be quite c […]

Today will start another surge of hot, humid weather which will continue well into next week.   This morning is cool with clear skies, and temps are expected to climb into the upper 80s this afternoon.  There is […]
