Dear Sir or Madam, I post on a local weather blog https://michigan-weather-center.org/ And on out blog there have been some who have […]
We reached 52° yesterday after a morning low of 33°. A slow warm-up is expected through early next week with high temperatures reaching the 60s. Some rain is possible over the weekend, especially Saturday night. With dry air in place and breezy conditions today our fire risk increases especially in places like woodlots and forests […]
Yesterday we managed to creep up to 47° after a morning low of 29°. Today we will add another 10° or so to our temperatures with the promise of more sun. We should remain mainly dry for today unless you live in the SW corner of the state where there are currently some light showers […]
Yesterday we had a cold drizzle in the morning and temps struggled to get to 43° after a morning low of 32.5°. Made me wonder if we were in Great Britain rather than Michigan. Today will not be significantly warmer than yesterday, highs will mostly be in the lower to mid-40s. Clouds should slowly break […]
Yesterday we had a high temp of 62° and a low of° 43°. We have had only 15 days where no sort of precipitation fell here in Otsego this month. Total rainfall for the month is 5.75 inches and 8.19 inches of rain and melted snow for the season totaling 11.98 inches for the year. […]

Clouds will be on the increase during the mid to late morning. Thunderstorms are expected to cross the area this afternoon […]
With it now being late April, it is now time to look at some last/first dates. The readings I will look at are the last hard freeze using 28° the last 32° low and the last 37° low (that is the upper limit for frost) and then the 1st 70 high and 1st 75 […]
