We are looking at the possibility of rain this weekend but it’s only a chance.  We really do need rain with all of this heat that we’ve been having.   There isn’t any relief coming until at least next We […]

There has been no rain here since June 28 and we see no chance of rain until next Monday.  We were hoping for our lawn to dry up a bit, but this is getting excessive.  I love the sunshine and warm temps and my t […]

Our last rainfall was on June 28 when we received a little over half an inch of rain.  Since then, not a drop.  These extreme hot temperatures really exacerbate the dry conditions.  Today is again expected to re […]

This area hasn’t had a good rain in over a week now, and with the excessive heat, we are badly in need of rain.  But with this wonderful weather, it’s really hard to complain.  Yesterday was a perfect weather d […]

It is such a relief to walk outdoors this morning.  Temps are in the mid 60s and it doesn’t feel like a sauna.  Today could be a perfect day weather-wise.  In fact, this whole weekend could be.  Unfortunately it […]

July 4th brought some folks a little rain and in some cases, a lot of rain.  We, however, received none.  Most were small pop up storms which formed late in the afternoon but most were over in time for f […]

Our morning is beginning with hot, humid conditions and it is promising to be uncomfortable for those planning outdoor activities.  As for me, I don’t plan to be outdoors much today.  We really don’t have any p […]

Today should bring some relief from the hot, humid air that we have been dealing with over the weekend.  Although highs will remain in the 80s, the humidity should be less as well as the dew point.  i have some g […]

I didn’t stick my head outdoors much yesterday and when I did, the heat was stifling.  I need to get out and do some work in my flower gardens but it won’t happen as long as this heat continues.  It doesn’t look l […]

What can be said about this weather except we complained back in April that we didn’t think that summer would ever come.  Now it’s too hot.  A heat advisory is in effect for most of the upcoming week, and many p […]

Looking at the radar this morning, it appears that the southern half of the state is getting doused.  Here in Topinabee, we have nice temperatures and plenty of sun.  The rain forecast that we had earlier this w […]

Yesterday was a perfect day although a little on the cool side.  At least it was dry, however there is rain in the forecast for tomorrow once again.  I’m hoping that it totally misses us.  Rain is a pain when on […]

We got here on Thursday and have been so busy that I haven’t had time to blog. The first day was nice but we had mostly rain yesterday and this morning.  Highs today won’t even reach 70°, but with the sun, it d […]

It seems that the 90s are gone for a while and temperatures are back to where they should be.  That’s a relief.  I don’t do well at all when temps get much above 80°F.  We received a few showers late yesterday whi […]

Yesterday was just too hot to even step outdoors with highs reaching 93°F.  Fortunately, thunderstorms will be passing through later today and bringing cooler air with it.  On the down side, there is a chance fo […]

While my area is baking in 90° temperatures, heavy storms have wreaked havoc in Michigan’s Copper Country.  My daughter lived in Houghton for three years and I’m so happy that she isn’t there now.  I have at […]

Scattered showers and thunderstorms moved across our state during the overnight leaving 0.14″ in my gauge.  Radar is still showing a few but no large amounts are expected today.  The issue this weekend will be t […]

It seems like the perfect summer morning with light breezes, bright sunlight, and low humidity.  This has been quite an extended dry spell for us and it is welcome to be sure.  With all the rain we’ve had, the l […]

This morning is cool although highs are expected to reach the low to mid 80s this afternoon.  No rain is expected over the next few days, so our lawn should have a chance to dry out.  The rain, which was in our f […]

Today won’t be as comfortable as yesterday with higher humidity and temperatures.  Monday was absolutely gorgeous with highs in the upper 70s, light winds, and very low humidity.  It was one of those days when y […]
