Last night brought some strong, noisy thunderstorms which I slept through, that left 0.34″ in my gauge.  I see that many places got much more than that, and even some severe storms in the southwest corner of […]

It really feels like the dog days of summer.  It is very hot and muggy . . . . just a good day to stay indoors unless you have a pool.  All the storms which were suppose to arrive last night totally missed u […]

Today will be a winner, but strong storms could be our fate for tomorrow.  So far we aren’t included in the projected severe area, but that could change.  We’ll have to see how that develops.

Our 11:45 AM t […]

Our morning has had a mix of clouds and sun, and it has now become mostly sunny.  Highs should reach the low 80s and there is the possibility that we could see some rain.  Other than that, there isn’t much m […]

After rain all day Wednesday and 2.44″ inches of rain, today is sunny and very pleasant.  I’m already hearing that we have the possibility is seeing severe weather this weekend, but only very slight.  That s […]

Post Tropical Storm Beryl left her calling card last night and early today.  The rain has finally stopped and radar is showing most of it past us.  There was 2.52″ in my rain gauge at 8:30 this morning, and w […]

My knees are hurting, so Beryl must be on the way.  I’m surprised that the barometer isn’t lower than it is.  Winds aren’t supposed to be an issue, but we are expecting large amounts of rain.  A flood watch is […]

The Gulf coast of Texas is bracing for what could be a significant hurricane.  Storm surge is expected to be massive, as well as a widespread tornadic event.  As for us, we could see the effects on W […]

Today couldn’t be nicer.  Temperatures are warm, but not too hot.  There is a light breeze and it isn’t too humid.  Unfortunately, we have hurricane Beryl to look forward to.  Of course it won’t be as bad as […]

Mid Michigan was pounded by severe storms yesterday afternoon.  There was even on unconfirmed tornado, somewhere in the thumb area.  Other than that, there was wind damage reported  in Clare county.  All we […]

Our holiday was quite nice.  We did have a few sprinkles but not enough to measure.  Skies were cloudy most of the day so highs never reached the expected high temperature.  This morning is sunny and skies ar […]

Our holiday is starting out with cloudy skies and very warm temperatures.  The sun looks like it is trying to push it’s way through the clouds, but not doing a very good job.  We do have a slight chance for r […]

Today, we can expect a mix of sun and clouds with possible rain thrown in the mix.  It will also be very warm for those on vacation this week.  That is pretty much the forecast for most of the week, although 4 […]

Today began with sun, but now clouds have taken over.  We could get a little rain, but most is expected to fall apart before reaching us.  We really don’t need any more for awhile.  Temperatures should re […]

Today is beginning with cool temperatures, clear skies, and a nice breeze.  This is my kind of summer weather.  The AC should get a rest today with highs only expected to reach the mid 70s and there is no r […]

The morning began with dense fog and now we have light rain.  Radar is showing it to be almost past us, but I don’t think that we will see much, if any, sun today.  Temperatures are comfortable and winds are l […]

The major storms which were predicted yesterday reached us about 7:30 this morning.  We got a lot of rain from it but not much of anything near severe.  Many areas are without power and have quite a bit of w […]

Although no storms are expected today, the bad ones supposed to come in overnight and early tomorrow morning.  Right now, our weather is nice with cooler temperatures and plenty of sun.  We did receive a l […]

After a stormy Saturday, our Sunday is much cooler but windy.  We had no strong storms here, but the western and central portions of the lower peninsula had a few warnings.  I haven’t heard any damage r […]
