We received 0.15″ of rain overnight, and there wasn’t even any rain in the forecast.  At least I didn’t hear of any.  But regardless, everything got a little wet overnight, and even though it ended by morning. t […]

Dad’s couldn’t have had a nicer Father’s Day than what today has been.  We’ve had mostly sunny skies, light winds, and comfortable temperatures.  My oldest son came to spend the day with us and we cooked chicken o […]

The heat has left us for now, and we have a couple of very pleasant days before it gets hot once again.  I should be outdoors enjoying it instead of sitting here at my computer, and I think I’m going to do […]

Yesterday’s heat broke many records and ushered in severe weather in our upper peninsula.  It wasn’t anything though compared to what Wisconsin had.  Tornadoes and severe thunderstorms moved across Wisconsin m […]

Record heat is affecting us today with highs expected in the mid 90s.  Thunderstorms are beginning to develop over western Wisconsin and are expected to move into northern Michigan later.  Tornadoes are also a p […]

We have to admit that those storms last night looked pretty impressive crossing Lake Michigan, but they decided to swing to the south after landing on our western shore.  The southwest and southern-most counties […]

If you look out right now, storms would seem like the most unlikely thing to happen.  The humidity is low and there are no clouds to be seen.  But I’ve already received several weather statements that we could g […]

This has been a very nice weekend, with comfortable temperatures, and just enough of a breeze to open the windows are air out the house.  There were some showers popping up on radar yesterday, but my area seemed […]

We had a heavy, brief shower yesterday afternoon, which dropped almost half an inch in about 20 minutes.  Today there are more showing up on radar but I don’t think they’ll reach us.  The grass is growing about a […]

We have had a few sprinkles so far today, but heavier rain is moving in from the southwest.  It has been on the radar since this morning and doesn’t seem to to moving very fast.  But local forecasters are a […]

After an afternoon of sprinkles, we finally got a good rainfall overnight.  There was 0.42″ in my gauge this morning, and many areas of the state received more than an inch.  The eastern lower part of the state w […]

Rain is in our forecast for today, and radar is showing it slowly approaching us.  At this time, however, it appears to be light with no significant storms developing.  Thunderstorms are supposed to develop this a […]

This morning began with a few sprinkles, and the radar is showing rain over us, but nothing is happening right now.  We are expecting intermittent showers throughout the day and temperatures will remain below […]

We have yet another beautiful day to enjoy.  Highs will only make it into the 70s although it is quite breezy.   Extended forecasts for the fist half of June are calling for temperatures a little below average, so […]

Today is perfection as far as I’m concerned.  The sky is clear, temperatures are comfortable, and breezes are light.  We couldn’t ask for a nicer day.  Yesterday was mostly cloudy and we did have a few drops of ra […]

Today will be the hottest day that we have had so far this year.  I’m not sure if any records will be broken, but I know that it will be much to hot for me.  I don’t plan on being outdoors much, in spite of it l […]

Today’s weather will feel more like July than the end of May, but who’s complaining?  For those planning any time in or on the water, it will be ideal.  It is a bit breezy but that will make it feel a little c […]

We have gorgeous weather for our holiday weekend with summer-like temperatures.  Today should reach the low 80s and highs near  90°F tomorrow.  There is no rain mentioned in the forecast until Wednesday, so tha […]

Today feels like a day in July with the air so full of moisture.  We have had stop-and-go rain since this morning, although showers are becoming more numerous as the afternoon wears on.  We had showers overnight w […]
