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 […]

It started raining yesterday afternoon and has continued through this morning.  So far, we have received 1.33″ and it’s still coming down.  To make matters worse, my dog, Cinnamon, has injured her back and has l […]

I can’t ever remember a period when it rains every day like it has this spring.  It just won’t quit!  We were supposed to have 3-4 days of dry weather this week and that has already changed to a chance of rain a […]

Looking at the radar, it appears that most of the rain is right over my area,.  Fortunately, it isn’t large so I don’t think that it will last too long.  Regardless, we don’t need anymore rain.  None of the fa […]

It seems like my blogs are quite redundant with the same conditions almost everyday.  Rain, rain, rain.  I must admit that yesterday was mostly dry but there were a few drops in my gauge this morning.  Most of th […]

This morning is sunny and beautiful, but unfortunately, it won’t last long.  More showers are in the forecast for tonight.  I guess we’ll just enjoy the sun while we have it  It will be breezy today so maybe th […]

Most of us are wondering if summer will ever happen this year.  Once again we have temperatures much below normal, and it seems that the rain will never stop.  We received another quarter of an inch overnight.  We […]

Tuesday was beautiful, both in Northern Michigan and lower portions of the state.  We drove home yesterday and had to detour around one road which had been washed out by Sunday’s storms.  There is more rain in t […]
