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 […]

After some overnight, much needed rain, our Tuesday is cloudy and very humid.  We received 0.42″ overnight with a little thunder and lightning.  Skies are expected to clear later and highs should make it into t […]

All my kids were home for the weekend and we made a big fire last night in celebration of our country’s birthday.  Someone on the next road was shooting off a fantastic display of fireworks which lasted for about […]

Today is the beginning of the 4th of July weekend and our weather is expected to be great.  They predicted rain for us this afternoon, but right now, it seems doubtful.  We sure could use it.  Yesterday’s high ro […]

We received some much needed rain overnight but it was only 0.17″ which isn’t much.  I guess it’s better than nothing.  Our weather has cooled off a little but there is another bout of hot air coming.  The ho […]

After a stretch of 90 degree days, we finally have some relief.  Our high today is supposed to be in the low 70s, and I had my doubts that we would reach it, but we finally have.  We started out with clear s […]

The past three days have been busy for me with two trips to Detroit which took up my entire days.  At least the weather was good for traveling.  Today will be a little cooler, thank heavens.  Ninety degree we […]

Yesterday was extremely hot here in Michigan with highs in the upper 90s.  Much too warm for me.  There was a huge fire in downtown Holly which destroyed about 4 buildings that I can see.  I felt so sorry for th […]

This will be the hottest day that we’ve had so far this year, with possible record-breaking temperatures.  The heat index could reach well over 100°F, and it seems appropriate that it will happen on the first d […]

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 […]
