Our weekend has been very nice for late September but we have very little color for this time of year.  Usually we have a few colored trees but I’m not seeing any so far.  Today has seen a mix of clouds and sun, a […]

After 3 days of almost constant rain and 3.6 inches total, we can finally see the sun again.  Temperatures have cooled down significantly but will be back up to normal over the next two weeks.  At least that’s w […]

The rain has diminished somewhat but still coming down.  Over the past two days, we have received 2.86 inches and the flood watch continues until 11PM tonight.  We also have some fog developing.  The south ea […]

The rain began yesterday afternoon and intermittent heavy showers continued through the afternoon.  More steady rain developed overnight and there was 0.90″ in my gauge at 8AM.  It has been raining steadily s […]

We are expecting very heavy rain over the next three days and a flood watch has been issued for most of southern lower Michigan.  We received a little rain so far but not enough to affect us.  Radar isn’t s […]

It’s time for cider mills and donuts once again.  This is my favorite time of year, especially when the weather has been like it has lately.  We continue to have summer-like temperatures and low humidity.  Co […]

Today has been warm with just enough breeze to keep it comfortable.  The humidity is low and it’s a great day to just be outdoors.  We are starting to see some color in a few trees and this is why autumn is my f […]

As we drove home from Indian River yesterday, we ran into some pretty impressive storm clouds.  We received a severe thunderstorm watch on the way, but didn’t see any of that.  I think that the southern portions o […]

Although skies became very dark, and a severe thunderstorm warning was issued for us, it never happened.  Unfortunately, other’s weren’t as lucky.  Ludington reported baseball size hail and another area near Bay C […]

After a sunny, lovely morning, our skies have become dark and strong thunderstorms have been moving across the state since about 4 PM.  We haven’t received anything yet but a few sprinkles so far.  Looking at t […]

Today has been gorgeous with mostly clear skies, a nice breeze, and comfortable temps.  This weather will continue overnight, but changes are coming tomorrow.  Forecasts are calling for strong thunderstorms and h […]

Today has been sunny and quite warm.  Highs near 80°F were forcasted and that’s what we have.  The humidity is quite low making for a beautiful early September day.   Winds are quite brisk but it feels good […]

Our weather has taken a turn to less humid and cooler.  For people like me, it’s a blessing.  We did receive a few sprinkles overnight and there is even one lightning strike showing on my weather station.  We ar […]

Yesterday we took a drive across the Mackinaw Bridge and it may be our last for quite a while.  This will be our final year camping.  I’ll certainly miss our time spent up here in northern Michigan but as they s […]

When we came up on Friday, temperatures were in the mid 70s.  Then the weekend brought hot, very humid temperatures and storms.  We had one pass Saturday which brought a lot of wind and torrential rain.  The ro […]

We had storms move through the state early last night dropping 0.68″ in my rain gauge.  Some areas in the southern part of the state got over two inches.  We were briefly under a severe TS warning but it wasn’t t […]

Our morning began with cloudy skies and fog.  It has now cleared up and has become a very nice day.  Temps are very warm but a significant breeze keeps it comfortable.   Mother Nature has cursed many parts of the […]

After a sunny morning, the sky has clouded up and my weather station is showing one lightning strike 22 miles away.  I’m seeing some spotty showers to our southwest on radar but it looks mainly like light rain.  W […]

It seems like our temperatures keep going from one extreme to the other.  We’re in the low to mid 70s one week, then in the mid to upper 80s the next.  Today we could actually reach 90 degrees and that’s d […]

Our morning began with fog, then skies cleared as the fog burned off.  Temperatures never fell much overnight and it was one of those nights that we were very happy to have AC.  There is a very slight chance of r […]
