After a very hot Tuesday, we should get some relief today as thunderstorms move in.  Temperatures are expected to cool down drastically for the rest of the week.  As usual, we go from one extreme to the o […]

Today should finalize this very uncomfortable heat, and I for one am glad.  This is much too warm for early September and a record will likely be broken today.  There is a chance for rain later tonight, but m […]

We have wonderful weather to end the Holiday weekend.  Temperatures may break the record high with them expected to reach into the low 90s.  It’s already pretty warm but the breeze keeps it comfortable . . . . […]

After a week of comfortable weather, we have to deal with a few very hot days.  We should see temps in the 90s until mid-week.  I guess we can put up with it that long.  I’m not a fan of hot weather, but as lo […]

We have another nice day for our holiday weekend.  Although the skies have been mostly cloudy, temperatures are comfortable.  We did have a few sprinkles earlier but just a few.  There is no rain in the fo […]

Today is the beginning of the Labor Day Weekend, as well as the beginning of Meteorological Autumn.  That’s what I go by as far as seasons go, so to me, it is now autumn.  Summer is over.  We can see the da […]

We had another great day with nice temperatures in the low 70s, and low humidity.  We need to enjoy it because more hot weather in on the way this weekend.  The low last night fell into the low 40s, and I h […]

Yesterday brought a couple of thundershowers which left 0.22″ in my rain gauge.  They didn’t last long but produced moderate rainfall when they came.  We really didn’t need them but the remainder of the week i […]

Our morning is pleasant but we are expecting more storms this afternoon.  We certainly don’t need any more rain for awhile as our yard hasn’t totally dried out from last Thursday.  But it is what it is, and a […]

Today has been a perfect day with low humidity, cool temps, and light breezes.  Yesterday started out cloudy but then the skies became partly cloudy in the afternoon.   This entire week is expected to see be […]

There was a lot of damage from Thursday night’s storms.  There were six confirmed tornadoes just in the Detroit area.  Then there were two in Livingston County and another near Grand Rapids.  The weather fo […]

We were warned of the possibility of severe weather yesterday, and the storms that happened were “overachievers” according to one meteorologist.  The above picture shows the radar from yesterday and you can […]

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 […]
