We begin a pattern shift to cooler than normal temps today struggling to reach 50° with a chance of (gasp) rain and snow showers overnight into Thursday morning. This cooler pattern will exist into early next week and perhaps beyond. [columns] [span6] [/span6][span6] [/span6][/columns] Weather History for SW Michigan April 11 1965: The second […]
With winter gone and cold temps fallen by the wayside, it is time for allergy sufferers like myself to get stocked up on decongestants and allergy meds so our heads don’t explode. This is the time of year when trees release their pollen. On an average day, pollen counts rise during the morning, peak about […]
It appears we will be entering another dry period with below normal rainfall over the next couple of weeks with temps below normal also. This tells me we could have another stretch of high-pressure domination and a southern jet which will block any systems from moving into Michigan keeping them well south of the state. […]
We have a meandering low-pressure system located near Chicago this morning which brought us a nice soaking rain yesterday and will bring us scattered showers throughout today though not as numerous as yesterday. We had .55 of an inch yesterday and briefly reached 73° in Otsego. We won’t see any 70° temps this week with […]
We had .27 of an inch of rain yesterday in Otsego. We briefly reached 74.5° for the high temp before dropping to the low 60s when the rain moved through with some gusty winds before 5 pm. We have expectations of scattered showers right on through the weekend due to a couple of sluggish low-pressure […]

On-and-off downpours and scattered thunderstorms will be more likely on Thursday. This weekend’s weather is unsettled, with a chance for […]
We had our first spring thunder yesterday and a tenth of an inch of rain in Otsego. Our high and low temps were 70.9°F / 48.7°F respectively. We currently have 47° at 5:30 this morning. Average highs for today are in the low to mid-50s and we will exceed those numbers today and tomorrow by […]
We reached 73.2° yesterday with mostly sunny skies. Our low at 5:30 this morning is 51.8° with clouds overhead. We have rain moving into Muskegon and I see from my radar (Radarscope) there is some lightning embedded. There are showers and storms across the lake from Janesville Wisconsin down to Chicago. Still waiting to see […]
Happy Easter to all, the celebration of Christians all over the world. One could not ask for a better day for getting out to church and family activities. My wife and I will be getting our second Covid shot at the end of the week so we might consider venturing out into the larger world […]
