We reached a pleasant 76.1° yesterday which for most is a perfect spring/summer day. We had .05 of an inch of rain from a brief shower overnight. Below are the rainfall totals from the 10th and 11th. Thunderstorms dropped heavy rain in some locations as they tracked through Lower Michigan. The worst-hit areas experienced minor flooding of streets and in low-lying areas. As is typical when we see thunderstorms, rainfall can vary quite a bit from place to place. Rain totals in Kalamazoo for example ranged from 0.16” at the airport to 1.22 inches southwest of town.
There is a frost advisory for a good portion of the U.P. where temps are expected to drop to near or slightly below freezing tonight, for southwest Michigan, a cooler air mass will settle into the Great Lakes region over the coming days with highs topping out in the upper 60s to lower 70s Friday through Sunday. Saturday will be the coolest day with readings likely holding in the 60s. Even though high pressure will be in place we may see a fair amount of clouds each day.
Early next week summerlike conditions will return to the area with temps back into the 80s to near 90°.
CURRENTLY 64* degrees out at thee NE of GR at 130pm chuck up another below average day here at my house ….INDY
Indy asked how often is there a frost in norther lower Michigan in June is there. Well frost in June is norther lower have happened but are not all that common in mid June. At Gaylord with records going back to 1893 it has gotten below 40 7 times and only 2 times below 36. At Houghton Lake with records going back to 1913 it has gotten below 40 11 times with it getting 35 or colder 5 times the last time was in 2012. I am sure some of the colder locations have gotten below 35 more often. So while it is not real common it has gotten below 35 and there have been frost in norther lower Michigan in mid June. But that just goes to show you just how cold Michigan really is. As for Grand Rapids the record here for the 13th is 39 set in 1985. Over at Lansing it has gotten as low as 35 on the 13th

Wow .. Thanks slim im thinking furnaces will be kicking on again this weekend ….INDY
I am hoping not. This morning was chilly when I took the dog out. Looking forward to the cooler weekend.
Only at your house. Lol
Been absent for a couple weeks, as I have been wrangling with a new puppy since the 27th of May! We lost power on Weds at 11:30a.m., and didn’t get it back until about 4:30p.m. yesterday. I bit the bullet and purchased a 7000w generator yesterday, and had it running for almost an hour before the power came back on (Murphy again…). I will be sharpening knives/garden tools at the Holland Farmers Market on Saturday from 8-2p.m., with good weather predicted.
Well, contrary to some who called yesterday “fall” and “below average,” it hit 76 degrees in GR yesterday and went down as a 0 degree departure from average. Meaning we still haven’t had a below average day since June 1st. What a warm stretch!
Frost advisorys in the middle of June great Scotty that’s some big talk right there lol…Hey Slim how often does that happen in Michigan at this time of year?? Mid 30’s Nothern Michigan for lows this weekend more great fire weather I will call it..Get outside and enjoy another Fall like day no fans no air conditioning just fresh air ahhhhh forgot the heat and humidity Have a nice Friday MV’s best…INDY
You said it hit only 70 degrees at your house yesterday. Well, GR hit 76 degrees. Like I said, take the real temperature then subtract 3-6 degrees for Indy’s temperature “reading.”
I believe I said currently doesn’t mean only …Lol nice try though …INDY
You said it when GR was in the mid 70’s. “Currently 70* degrees out at thee YARDofBRICKS NE of GR at 420pm very nice below average day on tap ahhhh…INDY”
Indy have you ever wondered why Mookie has not posted the weather at his/her house??? At the current time it is 66 here at my house with a DP of 53 while at GRR at it was 62 with a DP of 49 at 11:53 AM (12 noon)

Indy as for frost in mid June in norther Michigan. It has happened but that is more of just how cold Michigan is rather then how unusual this is.
Slim
Yes I guess I have to use caps on currently for awhile now lol… I’m not even in the city limits of GR so he’s still way off! INDY
We had a really cool wall cloud last night about seven. The gust front came through and the temp dropped 18 degrees.
We finally had an active week for weather. The in-laws may not get power back until Sunday, which is a total drag.
Here at my house I recorded a quick 0.14″ of rain yesterday in a very heavy rain shower with some good wind gusts. This morning it is mostly clear with a temperature here of 54 and a DP of 51.
