Our morning is a little chilly but it feels good.  We should see the sun a little later  and this will probably be our last comfortable day for a while.  There is more extreme heat heading our way and I don’t li […]

The severe weather that was to happen yesterday never did.  In fact, we got no rain at all here.  Most of it remained in northern Michigan and the U.P.  I haven’t heard reports of any damage although some were pr […]

The weather service is warning that we could see severe storms later today and tonight, but this morning is clear and very pleasant.  We have a grey haze to our sky caused from the wildfires in Canada.  After a c […]

Although we received a few day reprieve from the stifling heat and humidity, unfortunately, it won’t last long.  I guess we have to accept that it is July and this is normal.  The weather service is saying that w […]

This weather is such a blessing after the heat of the preceding week.   Yesterday was gorgeous and we were able to turn off the AC at night for a change.  Today should be nice also with cooler, dryer air and we ca […]

Our weather today couldn’t be nicer.  Humidity and dew points are lower, and temperatures are comfortable with a nice breeze and clear skies.  My son was here for the weekend and we spent most of today siting o […]

The heat has been stifling along with the humidity and high dew points.   I’m ready for a cool down.  It seems that we always go from one extreme to the other.  We had a quick shower early yesterday which left 0.1 […]

NOAA has issued a special weather statement that we may expect heavy thunderstorms this afternoon and evening.   There were a few in the state yesterday but we received one heavy shower early in the afternoon.  It […]

Today will be perfect for anyone planning on spending it in the water.  Highs will reach the upper 80s to 90°F, and there may be a few pop-up thunderstorms, so they’ll have to watch for those.  But the day sh […]

Yesterday saw a mix of sun and clouds with some thunderstorms thrown in the mix.  We received 0.29″ of rain in all, and none were severe.  Between the storms was some sun and it was hot and muggy.  Today won’t be […]

Yesterday was quite uncomfortable even though the temps were a little cooler.  Today will see higher temperatures and possible storms.  We did get a brief shower around 9:30 this morning but it only dropped 0 […]

We haven’t had any substantial rainfall now for almost a week and there are still areas of my yard that are like a sponge.  One would think that with temps in the mid to upper 80s that the ground would dry up […]

Yesterday was another fine day but I have to admit that it was a bit too hot for my liking.  Today will be better with our high only expected to be around 80°F.  Gradually, our lawn is drying out and the farm tr […]

This morning is starting out with plenty of sun and very warm temperatures.  There were some storms that popped up in our state Friday but all we managed to get was about a minute of hard sprinkles.  We’re fine w […]

We have one storm passing to our north at this time.  We had wind but no rain from it.   The past two days have been very warm with highs in the upper 80s.  Today is expected to be the same.  The humidity was quit […]

Yesterday was a perfect summer day, warm and breezy.  Some storms developed late in the day, and I received a weather alert from one of my weather apps, that a strong thunderstorm was approaching our area.  As I w […]

The next few days will have just a very slight chance of rain, so hopefully, the lawn will finally dry out where we haven’t been able to mow yet,.  This morning began with clouds but now there is quite a bit a […]

We couldn’t have asked for a nicer weekend.  Temperatures were warm, there were light winds, and low humidity.  It was absolutely lovely.  But then last night, more rain moved in and that seems to be what we ca […]

We waited a long time but it’s finally happening.  Summer has arrived!  Not only the summer solstice, but actual summer weather.  What’s even better is that the extended forecast is calling for highs in the 80s al […]

The past two days have brought flooding rains to the state, and we are finally going to get a couple of dry days.  Our total rainfall since Thursday night was 1.84″.  Many areas of the state received 2-3 i […]
