What more can I say? The heat plus increasing humidity continues to be the big story for the state. I, for one, will be happy when this all becomes a distant memory we talk about as the hot summer of 2020. Some of you enjoy it which is fine, we are all allowed our personal […]
With the exception of the 90° temperatures, this weather pattern is boring and makes it sleepy time for local mets. No excitement in the weather rooms or in the skies as the heat beats relentlessly down upon us. The only chance of showers today, as with the past two days will be east of any […]
Quite a light show in our neighborhood last night and it seemed all of Otsego was at war by the sound of it. My animals, of course, didn’t like it much as they sought the darkest places in the house to hide. The raccoons and possums didn’t make their nightly appearances. I am sure it […]
This has been a rough week. My cat was hit by a car and the last of my older relatives has passed away, all that remains is my brother, a few cousins and me. All of my aunts, uncles, parents and grandparents are gone. I recognized my mortality long ago and life is constantly subject […]
One of the things which stand out for June, of course, was the amount of sunshine we had. We continue that trend into July with the addition of above-normal temps and dry conditions.

There are a few showers here and there in SW Michigan this morning if you very lucky you may receive one but chances are small and they will dissipate by noon. They are of the popup variety and have very little movement, they just dump their rain and dissolve. We are in a very boring […]
Don’t let the post title get you too excited, scattered means occurring or found at intervals or various locations rather than all together. There is a 30% chance which means the chance is 30% within 25 miles of any one location. Weather forecasters use the term PoP, or Probability of Precipitation when describing the percent […]
We can expect a lot of reruns this week in regards to the weather. Summer is upon us with a vengeance as payback for the cool months which started spring. Most of the week will remain dry with the exception of a small 20% chance late Monday night/early Tuesday morning. Temps will rise into the […]
I suspect we will have an active weather pattern late this afternoon through tonight as well as an active blog as we generally have a 300% increase in traffic during stormy weather. At this time (5 am) the core of the evening hours (4p-9p) will be the time frame of concern across Southwest Lower Michigan. […]
