Heavy thunderstorms moved over the eastern half of the lower peninsula yesterday morning and afternoon, dropping as much as 5 inches of rain in some areas near Detroit.  It was a cool day until late in the […]

We started the day with showers, then thunderstorms moved in from the northwest.  Most of them stayed to our north and east although there is lightning showing up on my weather station. My son had to have […]

We had sun this morning, but now the clouds have moved in.   Temperatures are comfortable and breezes are light.  Although skies are cloudy, there is no mention of rain in our forecast.  The clouds keep it coo […]

Our comfortable weather is over for a few days so I don’t think I’ll be spending much time outdoors today.  Highs could reach close to 90 degrees with the humidity on the rise.  Also, we are seeing smoke f […]

We are expecting dry weather for the next week or so, but with it comes the heat.  There will be a dome of hot air over most of the central US and it is expected to last a while.  What’s unusual is a h […]

We had three storms yesterday.  The first, and longest, happened just after noon.  Then another developed just to our west, and moved over us about 5 pm.  The last one, also was a popup, and that hit around 8 pm […]

We have a line of thunderstorms approaching from the west.  They aren’t expected to be severe, just giving us another good amount of rain.  We should see partly cloudy skies later, so the day isn’t expected t […]

The rain finally ended and we have a typical Michigan summer day.  Temperatures are right where they should be and the humidity is at a comfortable level.  Nothing at all to complain about.  I’m hearing th […]

The rain began late yesterday afternoon, then became heavy overnight.  There was 1.37″ in my rain gauge this morning, and rain continued today until early afternoon.  A flood watch is in effect.  Radar is st […]

Our cooler weather continues for the next few days before the next hot spell moves in.  Personally, I love this weather.  It’s perfect as far as I’m concerned.  One can go outdoors and enjoy it without ge […]

We had a few quicky showers early yesterday which left 0.03″ in my rain gauge.  It rained quite hard but only lasted a few minutes.  Other than that, our Saturday was mostly sunny and nice.  Today will br […]

Although we had no severe weather yesterday, we did have a few thunderstorms that passed over giving us 0.45″ of rainfall.  Other areas weren’t as lucky.  Perry, a small town about 15 miles to our southwest, w […]

Right now, the storms are remaining well to our north, but NOAA is giving us a 70% chance for them to reach our area later this afternoon.  Some could be heavy with small hail and strong winds, but nothing […]

Our forecast is calling for only a slight chance of rain, but looking at the sky, it looks like some storms may be brewing.  It won’t be as warm today and the humidity isn’t as high.  So far it’s been mostly s […]

We had a popup thundershower yesterday evening which dropped 0.16″ of rain on us.  It was just a small cell which formed just to our northwest, and it moved right over us.  It didn’t last very long, and fell a […]

Today is sunny and temperatures and humidity are at a comfortable level.  We couldn’t ask for anything better.  The forecast is saying that we could see some rain this afternoon but that remains to be s […]

We had rain all day Sunday.  It ranged from light sprinkles to heavy downpours.  We received a total of 1.51″ by the time it ended.  I’m sure the mosquitoes are happy.  Today has been a grey, damp day alt […]

It started raining early this morning and has continued since then, with a few breaks.  There was 0.14 in in my gauge at 8:30 and I’m not sure how much more has fallen since then.  Radar shows that it may h […]

I almost hate bragging about our great weather when so much of the country is melting and dehydrating.  But I guess when you choose to live in parts of the country that have no winter weather, you have to […]

As summer days go, it doesn’t get much nicer than what we have today.  Temperatures are comfortably warm and the humidity is also at a comfortable level.  You really can’t beat Michigan in the summer in t […]
