Another Warm-up, Then More Frigid Air - Mid Michigan

Posted by: chatcat, 1:58 PM GMT on January 16, 2012

Yesterday was beautiful with plenty of sun which made it seem warm. Our highs never made it out of the 20s so there was no melting. Today is beginning with clear skies and a temp of 22F and we should see a warm-up over the next day or so. But behind that comes more frigid weather and another storm system. The rain should begin later today with temps reaching near 40F. This will continue through tomorrow changing to snow and possibly bringing us another couple of inches.
Right now our skies are mostly clear, the humidity is 60%, and the barometer is 29.96" and falling. Winds are from the south at 10 mph. Sunrise was at 8:02 AM and the sun will set tonight at 5:28 PM.

OUR FORECAST:

Today: Partly cloudy skies early, then mostly cloudy this afternoon with rain developing. High 40F. Winds SW at 10 to 20 mph.

Tonight: Cloudy skies with rain mixed with snow. Low 32F. Winds SSE at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of precip 30%.

Tomorrow: Periods of rain and snow will give way to mainly snow for the afternoon. High 31F. Winds NNW at 10 to 20 mph.

Tomorrow night: Periods of rain and snow. Low near 15F. Winds NW at 10 to 20 mph.

Wednesday: Times of sun and clouds. Highs in the low 20s and lows in the mid teens.

Thursday: Partly cloudy. Highs in the low 20s and lows in the single digits.

Friday: Snow showers. Highs in the mid 20s and lows in the upper 20s.

Posted by: chatcat, 12:26 AM GMT on December 28, 2011

After a very mild month of December, it seems that more seasonable temperatures are knocking on our door. Temps have been averaging about 20 degrees above normal and snow has been almost non-existent this month. What snow we did receive was gone a few days later. Those who hate winter weather have been very happy. But those looking forward to favorite winter sports have had their share of disappointments.Today it has been snowing all day although there is very l...

Final Countdown to Christmas - Mid Michigan

Posted by: chatcat, 1:31 PM GMT on December 18, 2011

One week from today is Christmas. It's hard to believe that it is here already. Our weather has remained quite docile to say the least, and a white Christmas is certainly in question for us. We have a chance of snow on Wednesday, then again on Friday and into Christmas Eve day. We do have a bit of white this morning as light snow showers gave us a dusting yesterday, and temps remained just cold enough that it didn't melt. It isn't even enough to measure and it ...

Cloudy and Cold - Mid Michigan

Posted by: chatcat, 1:44 PM GMT on December 06, 2011

All of our snow is gone for now. Southern portions of the state received a few inches yesterday but all of that missed us. We didn't even get any rain that I know of. At least my gauge was dry this morning. This was the system that was supposed to turn us white once again but it was not to be. We will see our temps become very cold over the next few weeks and it will really feel like winter. Highs on some days will not even get above freezing. But I guess we ...

Deer Season in Michigan

Posted by: chatcat, 1:31 PM GMT on November 16, 2011

With the beginning of deer hunting season here in Michigan comes the broken stillness of early morning with distant gun shots. Yesterday was opening day and although the weather was gorgeous, it was not what one would consider ideal for deer hunting. My husband doesn't usually go out until we get some snow and I'm not sure how soon that will happen although we have two cold fronts pushing down on us in the next week.Right now (8 AM), our temp is 38.8F with the hum...
