Yesterday morning we had one quick big boom of thunder which got everyone’s attention – it was attention grabbing to say the least….
We have a fairly warm morning – 63° at 4am in Otsego, 56° in Grand Rapids, 58° in Lansing, 49° in Cadillac, 65° in Kalamazoo and we have low 70s south of the Michigan border. This is more like a summer morning than an early October morning. We have had 1.04 inches of rain in the past 4 hours (midnight to 4am), we had half an inch yesterday.
Tomorrow we are looking at breaking 80° and the long range models I am seeing more warm temps through next week with chances of upper 70s to near near 80°. I am not seeing our first frost until mid month.
Temps will hold steady in the 60s today and showers will diminish. We continue our battle of up and down temps through the rest of the week with temps bouncing around between the 60s and 70s.
This is an early morning post – I may put up another post later in the day.
Got the lawn mowed just now! Looks like we might be mowing our lawns til December this year! Our maple tree is still completely green right now! Can’t remember the last time it’s been this green this late into the year!
Agreed Andy, my yard is greener now than it has been all summer. Looks like more above normal temps are on the way. Is this fall ? One has to do a double take. Lol !
It’s kinda interesting how the warm front is wobbling right over lower Michigan. Temps are going up and down throughout the day. 20 degrees difference between Ionia and Toledo.
I see there is a lot of rain back home. Here so far it has been light but heavy rainfall is in the forecast. We are goin to the Baseball Hall of Fame today. It is cloudy here at this time.

Here comes more summer warmth! For what it’s worth, the weekly CFS keeps us above average until at least mid November.
Good morning from Cooperstown ny. We are staying in a motel right on a lake about 6 miles from town. It is hilly here and believe it or not there is no cell phone coverage here. The internet is slow but everything seems to load good.

Sheesh – we had .47″ of rain Sunday; 3.09″ yesterday; and 1.08″ so far today. At this rate, this fall won’t be very colorful 🙁
We have had similar ridiculous totals here as well. 1.13” Sunday, 3.32” yesterday, and .54” today. Seems like the rain this year has been all or nothing. Surprising how much it warmed up during the night. It was 58 when I went to bed last night, a very mild 69 when I got up!
Wet…ADA reading three inches from Sunday night to this morning.
Already at the normal high for the day – 66°.
I have been making changes to the main forecast page with some new formats – looks like some slower page loads with the graphics – I will keep an eye on it as all of the stuff auto updates. Let me know what you think…
Looks good to me. I haven’t noticed any speed issues. Then again, I recently got a new phone – the Note 9. It’s a beast and lightning quick.
Great post! I love the photo. It poured here last night. You can tell it is warmer out there – the house isn’t cold. LOL!! Up early – a little out patient surgery this morning. Have a great day everyone!!
Good luck, Sandy!
Thanks.
Hope it’s easy-breezy!!
Each day will be better. I am doing good. Very challenging getting around.
