  • A large area of thunderstorms formed over mid Michigan and moved to the south late yesterday.  There were no storm warnings issued although there should have been.  Local forecasters said that they didn’t a […]

  • Our weather has been unbearably hot for me.  Thankfully, we have cooler temps coming next week, once we get past the weekend.  The AC has been running steady.  We are heading back up to camp on Monday, and my hu […]

  • We had to go to Detroit yesterday and the weather situation was quite remarkable.  When we left at 9 AM, the sun was out with scattered clouds.  Then the sky became overcast and dark clouds began appearing to o […]

  • Today is another scorcher with my weather station reading over 90F.  I’m not sure how accurate it is because it is in the sun and that usually causes it to read about 3-4 degrees higher that what it really is.  R […]

  • Our weekend has turned out as promised.  Very hot and uncomfortable for those of us who are heat sensitive.  The saving factor of the day is the wind.  Some places could reach 90°F although the forecasted high is […]

  • Our weather here in Indian River today is wonderful. Skies have been clear most of the day, and temperatures have been mild depending where you are. We took a drive to Cheboygan and temperatures there were only in […]

  • Our morning here in Indian River is much warmer than what we have had lately.  We will be here until Thursday and each day is expected to be a little warmer.  We have sun and very little rain in our forecast for t […]

  • We arrived here on Thursday and the temperatures have been very cold for this time of year.  Today is actually the first that we can go outdoors comfortably without a jacket.  At least the past few days have b […]

  • Our morning was very wet and we received some much needed rain overnight.  Our total was 0.41″ in addition to what we received yesterday.  I’m sure that the farmers are very happy.  The rain ended by late mo […]

  • Today will be the warmest day that we will have for a while.  Highs should reach the mid to upper 80s with rain in the forecast for tonight.  That should cool us off for the next several days.  But we’re ex […]

  • We finally received rain yesterday afternoon, and it continues into this morning.  It wasn’t nearly as much as we hoped for but any is better than nothing.  I’m seeing that rain is in our forecast for the next s […]

  • Our temperatures aren’t quite as warm today and there is a pretty strong breeze, so it hasn’t felt as hot as the past two days.  This morning was cloudy and we received about  0.03″ of rain overnight.  It wa […]

  • We need some rain badly. Farmers are getting their fields planted, and it is so dry that they are leaving clouds of dust behind their tractors as they work.  We have a chance of rain tonight and Sunday, and I’m […]

  • I’m usually melting when temps get over 80F, but today is actually quite comfortable.  It’s probably because the humidity is so low.  We had clouds most of the day and that makes it feel cooler.  Now the sun is pe […]

  • Our weather has taken a turn for very warm.  Summer-like temperatures will be upon us into the near future.  Predictions are for unseasonably hot weather for the upcoming week and into the holiday weekend.  We […]

  • We have a thin layer of clouds this morning but not enough to hide the sun.  Today should be wonderful weather-wise with temps reaching a comfortable level in the mid 70s.  Winds aren’t expected to be strong so i […]

  • After a beautiful Saturday, our Sunday is a bit cooler with a little rain.  The showers are supposed to be done by this afternoon and radar is still showing some small pockets of light rain scattered about.  H […]

  • What is that in your picture, Kevin? I can’t make it out.

  • Today is what we’ve been waiting for.  Warm, sunny, and light breezes.  This should be the norm for the next 3-4 days with each day getting a little warmer.  I love it.  Most of the leaves are now out full and jus […]

  • We finally have a day that seems like mid May with plenty of sun, light breezes, and just a few scattered clouds.  Although the temperature is only in the low 60s, it feels much warmer with the sun.  The r […]
