Yesterday was mostly dry but we did have a moderate shower in the afternoon.  Temps reached the upper 70s and the humidity made it feel like July.  Today is cooler with less humidity and there is another chance f […]

This morning is quite windy and more storms are in our forecast for this afternoon.  It is already very warm and muggy, and it feels like a storm.  Temps rapidly reached the upper 70s and I’m thinking that it w […]

Our morning began with clouds and a few sprinkles.  There has been way too much rain this spring.  It has rained at least 5 out of 7 days of every week since spring began.  I guess I should be thankful that we ar […]

A line of thunderstorms moved across the state early this morning.  Between yesterday morning’s showers and the storms today, we received 0.27″ total rain over the past 24 hours.  We have been lucky that the s […]

Yesterday was a pretty okay day with sun most of the day.  There were periods of cloudiness but it was dry.  Temps only made it into the low 60s but breezes were light so it wasn’t too bad.  Today is expected to […]

There isn’t much happening in our forecast today.  We received a little rain overnight as there was 0.01″ in my gauge.  Today should be quiet and partly sunny with light winds, so it appears to be an okay day.  La […]

Sunday brought a motley weather situation to Michigan including some tornado warnings.  We had the first storm pass over which brought hard rain and strong winds, and dumped about 0.30 inches on us in about 15 […]

Our morning is beginning with showers and mild temperatures.  There was 0.27″ in my gauge and light rain continues.  It appears that this will be a wet weekend with the possibility of strong thunderstorms t […]

I have been gone the past three days to our campground in Topinabee.  I usually blog from there but they were in the process of installing a new WiFi system in the park, so I had no internet to work with.  The w […]

It isn’t supposed to be like this on Mother’s Day.  It’s supposed to be warm, sunny, and very pleasant to be outdoors.  But no!  It isn’t that way at all.  This has really been a crummy spring for us.  All we seem […]

Today should be an okay day although still much cooler than it what it should be.  At least there isn’t any rain in the forecast.  Highs should be reaching the mid 60s by now and Mother Nature doesn’t seem to w […]

Yesterday was not a bad day.  We had some rain early, but the afternoon was mostly dry.  There were a few more pop up showers overnight but the day was far from a wash out.  Highs reached into the 70s and that wa […]

We have had just a few sprinkles of rain so far this morning, but the radar is showing a large area of rain approaching us from the southwest.  It looks like most will be over by early afternoon unless more […]

We are all wishing for some weather than feels like spring but it is having a very hard time arriving this year.  I am starting to wonder if our whole summer will be like this.  The sun is out this morning but c […]

We are planning our first trip up north early next week and I’m really hoping that this rain will be done by then. Yesterday wasn’t the wash-out that we thought it would be.  In fact, the rain didn’t begin until […]

Today should be a winner with perfect weather for this time of year.  The sun is out, skies are clear and humidity is low with no rain in the forecast.  I have to get outdoors today. Maybe I’ll work on my flower b […]

Well, the rain is expected to be over for a few days, and this weekend should be very nice if the forecasts are correct.  Right now it is cloudy but temperatures are mild and we should see the low to mid 60s […]

Radar is showing that the rain has moved well to our southeast and it appears to be over.  These past several days have been very wet and the Detroit area has been declared a disaster area because of flooding, […]

The rain ended early yesterday and we even say a few glimpses of the sun.  This morning we have cloudy skies with a little fog.  Highs should reach the low 60s and showeres are a possibility this afternoon.  So […]

Maybe we should be happy that we aren’t getting severe weather but this much rain causes flooding which can be as bad.  Many roads in the Detroit area are flooded as they got almost 2 inches overnight.  We r […]
