We had a nice thunder shower early yesterday evening which left 0.21″ in my gauge.  It was one of many rain cells which moved over southern Michigan yesterday, and gave some areas over an inch of rain.  We h […]

We have yet another wonderful day . . . . . about as nice as you can get for July in Michigan.  There is a small chance for a pop-up shower, but I doubt that it will happen.  Yesterday was quite warm, and if t […]

Today will be another winner with nice temperatures and low humidity.  We should have enough breeze to keep the house cool with open windows, and no precip is expected anytime soon.

Our 1:15 PM temperature […]

Today is a day that I dream of when thinking about summer weather.  The sky is mostly clear, and temperatures are very comfortable in the 70s.  It’s just breezy enough to open the windows and get a nice air f […]

Today actually feels chilly compared to what we’ve been having.  It’s perfect for doing outdoor work.    It’s a bit breezy but just comfortable.  We are expecting dry weather through the weekend and into earl […]

Our morning has been sunny, but now we have a fast formed little line of showers moving over us.  All we are getting is a few sprinkles, and there is still a lot of blue sky showing.  We only had a 30% c […]

There were storms last night and even a few tornado warnings.  They were for the SW counties of the state.  I haven’t heard if there were actually any tornadoes, but there was wind damage reported.  My area wa […]

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 […]
