Today was supposed to be quite wet for us, but so far, the rain has remained to our north.  Showers and thunderstorms are in the forecast for most of the day so I hope we get a little rain anyway.  I feel so bad f […]

Hot and dry is what we can usually expect this time of year, and that’s exactly what we are getting.  It’s been a few years since we have seen weather like this and it seems pretty good.  Unfortunately, my f […]

I had to go to the ER last night.  After feeling crappy all day, I was suddenly so weak that I couldn’t get out of my chair.  My husband called the ambulance and I was diagnosed with Covid.  So now I’m stuck at ho […]

Temperatures are quite warm today and skies are cloudy.  We had a few sprinkles of rain yesterday and there were a few showers which appeared on the radar map, but they were few and far between.  We could see t […]

After an almost perfect day yesterday, today brings much of the same.  Highs should reach near 8oF, but the humidity and dew point is low, so it will be very comfortable.  There is no rain expected any time soon a […]

After the past week of 90 degree temperatures,  today is literally a breath of fresh air.  Temps will only make it into the upper 70s with gentle breezes.  This is such a welcome relief from what has been and I ju […]

Thunderstorms began around midnight here, and they brought much needed rainfall.  We were under a severe thunderstorm warning, and the rain brought some very strong winds when they arrived, but I don’t see any […]

This is our third consecutive day of 90 degree weather.  At least the humidity and dew points are quite low.  There have been a few pop-up thunderstorms in parts of the state, but unfortunately, not near us.  Th […]

This is just the start of a long, dry, hot period in our weather.  We do have a chance for some pop-up showers or thunderstorms, but not enough rain, if we even get any, to really do any good.  The rain that we h […]

I’m hearing that we are in for an extended stretch of record-breaking heat which will affect the plain states as well as the northeastern portions of the country.  My first thought is that I hope nothing happens […]

Our day has been dry so far, but radar is showing rain slowly heading our way from the southwest.  We aren’t expecting any great amounts but enough to keep the ground moist.  It’s nice not having to water e […]

Originally, we didn’t have rain in our forecast.  Now that has changed  We see a large area of rain coming at us from Lake Michigan, and although not heavy, it doesn’t seem to be diminishing either.  This has ch […]

Temperatures today are perfect and the humidity is decent.  This has been quite unusual for Michigan in the summer.  Normally by this time, the humidity is very high almost everyday.  This year it has been qu […]

After a mostly cloudy Monday, we did receive a little rain during the overnight.  There was 0.14″ in my gauge this morning, and I’m seeing some showers on the radar.  One just missed us and there are no more f […]

I know that I often complain that all the big storms miss us.  Well, that wasn’t the case last night.  We had two powerful storms move over us late last night about an hour apart.  The first  dropped 0.74″ of rai […]

This afternoon is very warm and quite windy.  We have a pretty good chance for some afternoon or evening thunderstorms to develop and some could be heavy.  We are in the “slight chance” area for any severe w […]

Yesterday’s weather was perfect with highs in the upper 70s and a nice breeze.  Skies were clear all day.  We do need rain and it has been pretty sparse lately.  Any rain in our forecast isn’t expected to be mu […]

A steady line of storms has developed just to our south but they are moving to the ESE, so totally missing my area at this time.  Our forecast called for a very slight chance of rain, but I’m seeing more rain […]

Today began with a few drops of rain but not enough to even measure.  Southern Michigan got hammered with heavy thunderstorms, measuring well over an inch in many places.  A line of heavy, severe storms moved to t […]
