Reruns

We had another .32 of an inch of rain yesterday to add to our total for the soggy second half of June which brings us to 8.8 inches for the month (these are Otsego totals).  Humidity was the main factor for our rain yesterday with the soggy atmosphere driving rain into the area.  Our high […]

More Showers & Storms Today

Yesterday was a nice respite from the rain, we had a couple of brief showers but the sun made an appearance which was a sight for sore eyes.  I managed to get some grass cut with my lawn tractor, I wouldn’t have liked to try it with a regular push mower as it was pretty […]

Tornadoes – More Rain

We had some very active weather yesterday afternoon into the early evening with squall lines and spin-up tornadoes, something we haven’t seen in several years.  The first tornado was near the town of Sylvester in Mecosta County and the second just west and north of Lake Odessa in Ionia County.  The NWS crews will be […]

More Heavy Rainfall

We have definitely moved out of our dry weather pattern having tapped into a good supply of moisture from the Gulf of Mexico and a slow-moving meandering frontal boundary.  Chances of rain are 100% today with rainfall amounts in the two to three-inch range.  We have had 1.12 inches thus far from this event in […]

We finally broke out of our dry spell in SW Michigan.  With last night’s system and cold front, we received 1.76 inches of rain which brings us to 3.99 inches for the month which is close to the total we received all of spring.  This will have a big impact on the drought conditions and […]

Enhanced Storm Chances

Happy Fathers Day! The summer solstice begins tonight which means we will begin the slow march towards losing seconds then minutes of daylight. The big concern for today is the chance of storms this afternoon and tonight.  We have had 1.98 inches of rain the past couple of days which has helped ease our drought […]
