On Wednesdays I post weather history for Michigan for the week – I think I will start posting a trivia section and history for the U.S. for Fridays feature. Tornadoes occur in the Southern Hemisphere but at a greatly reduced frequency than in the U.S., which hosts about 75 percent of the world’s twisters. … […]
While we are enjoying peaceful pleasant weather in the Great Lakes Region on into New England copious amounts of rain are falling from tropical depression Imelda in eastern Texas. The hurricane season has reached its mid point and has now become active in both the Atlantic and Pacific. [columns] [span6] [/span6][span6] [/span6][/columns] Tropical cyclones […]
Can’t get much better than this weather-wise. We had 79° for our high yesterday with relatively dry air – our low temp this morning is 57°. Once again most of the U.S. is free from warnings and advisories with the exception of Maine and most of New England where there are frost and freeze advisories […]
Again, not much going on in the weather today and is the case over much of the U.S.. I am glad I don’t have to produce forecasts for the 3007 counties in our country (there is a bit of trivia for you). Of course this is not abnormal to have an extended period of summer-like […]
I often wonder what a boring job it must be being a weather person in southern California where it is sunny all the time and barely every rains in the summer. Monthly normals for each month of the summer is measured in hundredths of an inch. The wettest months are November through March with the […]
Whilst riding my tractor around mowing the grass an grinding up fallen leaves I was thinking to myself it won’t be long before I put the mowers to bed and moving the snow blower to the front of the shed. Our first frost could be a month away more or less dependent on when the […]
As we all should know all long-range seasonal outlooks are nothing more then a guess. While some are more educated than others, they are all none the less nothing more then a guess. One long range guess that has been around for a long time is the one that comes in “The Old Farmer’s Almanac” […]
We have another wet day in store for today with a system moving in from the west. Rain totals will once again be quite variable around SW Michigan. The best chance for storms will be in SE Michigan where the SPC has set the slight risk area. Saturday looks to be the best day of […]
An exciting evening was in store last night as storms moved through many areas in SW Michigan. Tornado warnings were issued for Kent, Ionia and Eaton counties, however no tornadoes have been confirmed at this time. The NWS will be out this morning to inspect the areas for confirmation. There are multiple reports of building […]
We will be in an unsettled weather pattern for the next few days with chances of rain and storms through Friday. We have a pleasant 66° at 7am this morning. Yesterday we received .32 of an inch of rain then it cleared out and we had a muggy afternoon with temps in the mid 80s. […]
