  • Alberto wasn’t too impressive as he passed over my area.  A severe TS warning was issued for our county, but what we got was quite benign.  There were a few lightning flashes and thunder which didn’t seem t […]

  • This morning is tranquil  but that is expected to change as the day goes on.  The remnants of Tropical Storm Alberto will be moving in over us late today and early tomorrow.  We aren’t expecting anything se […]

  • Our weather has felt like mid July with highs in the the low 90s the past few days.  Today should be a little cooler but still 15-20 degrees above the average;  much cooler temps are expected by week’s e […]

  • The rains this year have been ridiculous. The southern areas of Michigan were flooded a few weeks ago also. It seems that it never rains but it pours. We had some severe pop up storms again yesterday around Midland and Saginaw, just like the day before. They were very small cells but really packed a punch, but your area seems to have never…[Read more]

  • Yesterday was lovely but more severe storms developed in the late afternoon over the central areas of the state.  They moved to our northeast and we were not affected.  My kids are here for the weekend and w […]

  • Yesterday was a beautiful day but  a rogue thunderstorm moved in shortly after 10 PM last night.  It was a small cell which came from the NNW dumping 1.19 inches on us  along with a lot of lightning.  We wer […]

  • If we didn’t break a record yesterday, then we came very close.  The official high was in the upper 80s but my thermometer, and the one in our car said 90°F.  There  were some showers and thundershowers tha […]

  • After a very warm Thursday, today is expected to be even warmer with highs in the upper 80s.  The past two days have been wonderful with clear skies and low humidity.  A change will be coming with t […]

  • This morning is just lovely!  I can’t say anything more than that.    This weather will persist over the next several days but more rain is expected for our holiday weekend.  At least it doesn’t sound like […]

  • This has been a very wet month so far, and temperatures seem to have a very hard time warming up.  Although the upper 60s are considered to be normal for mid to late May, it seems to me that it is usually […]

  • It will not be a very nice day for outdoor activities although I guess it could be worse.  Highs will only make it into the low 60s and there will not be much sun.  Yesterday brought us a little rain but t […]

  • It is wet and dreary this morning but everything looks so green.  It is quite a contrast from a few weeks ago.  Today will see off-and-on rain showers with a few thundershowers thrown in for good measure.  We […]

    • What body of water was this picture taken from? Your place up in northern Michigan? One of the great lakes or another lake perhaps? Love the thunderstorm cloud in the distance. Did you get any rain out of it, or was it moving away from you at the time? Thanks for posting – we are very green and lush here, with 4.77″ of rain here this week. And the sun has come out for the first time in a week! Cheers!

  • Yesterday was a perfect temperature with winds from the north all day.   Today will be about the same, but with the brisk north winds, it will feel a bit chilly.  There is more rain in our forecast for the we […]

  • After a very warm Tuesday and Wednesday, today will have temps closer to normal.  We had highs of 80° the past two days but with the low humidity, it was quite comfortable.   Winds will swing back to the nor […]

  • There was quite a display of lightning late last night as storms approached our area.  The rain began around midnight and continued most of the overnight.  There was 0.55 inches in my gauge at 8:30 AM and it i […]

  • This is a very wet, gloomy morning although the heaviest rain will miss my area.  Southern Michigan is under flood warnings with more heavy rain moving across the lower portions of the state.  We are just g […]

  • After a very wet Saturday, today should be warmer with more sun.  Southern areas of the state received up to two inches of rain yesterday causing many flooded roads.  Fortunately, most of it stayed well to o […]

  • We lost our beautiful spring weather for a few days, and we have a cold, cloudy day once again.   We had a few sprinkles yesterday but no huge amounts of rain, and we could see a little rain today.  We ar […]

  • That’s a very pretty picture, Kevin. Is that in your appt complex?

  • After a very warm Wednesday, a line of thunderstorms moved through the state late last night dropping 0.47 inches of rain in my gauge.  Although a severe thunderstorm warning was issued for a brief period of […]
