Yesterday we had a high temp of 86°! Though not uncommon this was a sign summer has not been willing to give up its grasp on us this September. Now it is abundantly clear we have seen the last of our warm and dry month come to an end with the remnants of tropical depression […]
We have enjoyed a long summer with warm temps and lots of dry and sunny days. The autumnal equinox begins this week on the 22nd and our weather pattern will cooperate with temps dropping into the 60s, which after sweltering in the 80s for so long this will feel cold to some. This is the […]
Floods of 1986 While it has been somewhat dry this year this week post is about a September that was very wet and caused some of the worst flooding in central Michigan’s history. This month marks the 35th anniversary of the Great Flood of 1986, an incredible weather event that was described as “Michigan’s greatest […]
We have had tendencies towards warm and dry conditions in SW Michigan which may or may not continue into October. Seems outlook maps change almost daily from the CPC. The warmer than normal outlooks have been spot on however the guesses for wetter than normal conditions seem to have fallen by the wayside. Temperature outlooks […]
We have 48° this morning at 7:30. Yesterday’s high temp was 75° with a low of 53°. We have had only .16 of an inch of rain so far this month as hit and miss showers and frontal systems have pretty much avoided our area and most of Allegan County. Our last decent rain was […]

Yesterday we had a brief period of sunshine which lasted maybe half an hour. Even with all the clouds we still had no rain in Otsego. It has been 18 days since we had more than a tenth of an inch of rain. Yesterday’s high was 77° and the low was 64°. Sunrise today is […]
We had a few raindrops fall here in Otsego yesterday morning, not enough to assume even a trace while from Grand Rapids to the north taunted us with their rain and storms. The thunderstorm watch for Allegan and Barry counties were not productive and lay our hopes for rain dashed by the wayside. We will […]
Still a bit early to make any winter forecast but I thought I would throw this out there. The GFS anomaly forecast showing continued warmth across a good portion of the U.S. and an early cool down in Siberia and eastern Eurasia. Below is the CPC guess for the coming weekend into next week […]
9/11 As we all know today marks the 20th anniversary of 9/11. We all know what happened that day so I will not go into the details of the events of that sad day. But feel free to post what you were doing that morning. I was working 3rd shift at that time, and I […]
