The grass outside is sneering at me because I can’t cut it because it is so wet. We had 1.46 inches of rain yesterday and as I write this another batch is moving in off the lake. There are thunderstorm watches in Illinois and Indiana.
I use Radar Scope for storm tracking and am now testing a product from Weather Ops with gives a lot more info on storms moving through the area and emails reports to me. It also shows amperage of lightning strikes which is pretty scary – some strikes were exceeding 6000 amps which will definitely kill you.
Below is the Weather Ops report for the Otsego Plainwell area for the weather for today.
A stagnant pattern remains in place across the Great Lakes region today with high pressure across Canada and a stationary front located over Northern Illinois and Indiana. Showers and storms will continue to fire to the west of Lake Michigan today and tonight and try to work into Southwest Lower Michigan. The highest threat for storms will be from the interstate 96 corridor southward. Flooding is a possibility where the heavier rain persists today and tonight. We dry out briefly on Monday before a cold front sweeps through on Tuesday bringing another chance for showers and storms. Highs will hold in the 70s today and on Monday.
All in all it will be another good day to catch up on those videos you have wanted to watch….
Been awhile since I had to close all the windows in the in the middle of June! Chilly outside … INDY!!
Yes the cool pattern continues!
Just another cool, cloudy MI weekend! Two out of the last three months we have had below normal temps! Who would have thought?
Drizzly and cool here today. A great day to get caught up on inside things.
ADA – Precip totaling .72 inches from yesterday. October continues… with a short thaw now and then.
You know it!
Yesterdays high at Grand Rapids of 71° was set at midnight and during the day the temperatures were only in the mid to upper 60’s with a cold NE wind. While common in the winter season it is rare for the high for any day to be set at midnight in the summer season. At this time it is cloudy and 64 here at my house

That stubborn stationary front just to our south….
I hope the rain affect the race too much.
