Weather History
June 7
1958: One of the coolest Junes on record saw scattered frost across the region as temperature fell to the mid 30s.
1996: A weak, short-lived tornado moved through open country east of Lake Lansing in rural Ingham County. Two other small, weak tornadoes struck near Novi and Flint.
June 8
1933: An early season heat wave peaked as temperatures hit 97 degrees at Grand Rapids and 92 at Lansing.
2008: Severe weather and flash flooding occur on June 7th and 8th, with four drownings in southwest Lower Michigan. Two people drowned when their car plunged into a fifty foot ravine created by a washed out road in Castle Park, Allegan County. Tornadoes struck in Osceola County near Hersey and in Eaton County near Needmore, downing hundreds of trees and destroying several outbuildings.
2003: Tornadoes strike Lower Michigan, with damage mostly confined to near Fenton in Genesee County and Leonard in Oakland County. A weak tornado hit near Rose Lake in Osceola County but did no damage.
June 9
1963: Severe thunderstorms caused millions of dollars in damage across the region as winds gusted over 70 mph. There were also reports of funnel clouds and a possible tornado in Belmont where several trailers were destroyed and homes were damaged. A tornado near Dorr heavily damaged a house.
1966: A large storm system that had produced the F5 Topeka, Kansas tornado the previous day moved into the Great Lakes region and brought severe weather to Lower Michigan with high winds and large hail. A tornado struck Wall Lake, near Delton in Barry County and damaged a boat and cottage.
1974: Ferris State University in Big Rapids is hit by a tornado. Two people are injured. Several houses and two schools also had damage to roofs and walls.
2004: Severe thunderstorms produced at least one tornado and some very large hail. Hailstones over 4 inches in diameter fell in Jackson County and tornado briefly touched down near Alma, producing only some tree damage.
June 10
1939: Tornadoes struck across southern Lower Michigan, including one that hit Kalamazoo County from near Schoolcraft to Austin Lake. A farm house lost its second floor and a mattress from the home was found over a mile away.
June 11
1968: Severe thunderstorms produced large hail across the region. Hail of 2.5 inches in diameter fell in Ionia County. One of the storms spawns a tornado that kills one person near Pompeii in Gratiot County.
1972: A late season freeze struck the region with Muskegon dropping to 31 degrees for their coldest June temperature on record. Lansing fell to 32 degrees and Grand Rapids to 33 degrees.
June 12
1996: Extensive flash flooding in and around Mt. Pleasant was the result of 1.82 inches of rainfall in 30 minutes with storm totals exceeding 2 inches. At one point parking lots had water 12 inches deep, several fields and ditches were flooded, and some motor homes and campers were set afloat.
1998: A tornado touched down in Bedford Township in northwest Calhoun County, doing minor damage to a few homes and shearing off trees like a large weed whacker.
2008: Historic flash flooding results from up to a foot of rain near Ludington and Manistee. More than 40 roads were washed out and some of them were not repaired for several months. The torrential rains are preceded by a severe thunderstorm that drops two tornadoes. The first tornado came ashore north of Ludington at the Nordhouse Dunes Wilderness Area, downing hundreds of trees. A second tornado hit near Stronach in Manistee County.
June 13
1900: A tornado touched down near Marshall and passed north of Battle Creek, ending near Bellevue. Barns were destroyed at several farms along the path of the storm.
1994: A tornado struck Jackson County, producing a 16-mile damage path and injuring 2 people. More than a dozen homes were damaged or destroyed, along with other buildings.
2004: Severe weather struck across the region and a weak tornado touched down briefly in a field one mile northeast of Stanton in Montcalm County
54* degrees out at thee YARDofBRICKS NE of GR extra blanket tonight love it ….INDY
Wow.. strongest winds of the past two days…heavy rain moving through.
Very heavy rain shower falling here now is some wind.
Slim
Currently 70* degrees out at thee YARDofBRICKS NE of GR at 420pm very nice below average day on tap ahhhh…INDY
Currently we warmed up to 68* degrees out at thee YARDofBRICKS NE of GR at 130pm! Beautiful outside …INDY
Yep that’s about right. Always 3-5 degrees cooler and 6″ more snow at Indy’s place.
Summer was fun…Welcome to Autumn :/
LOL Sunny and 75 is autumn now? Your shtick is getting old.
The best …Thank you!! INDY
We dodged a bullet here. Lots of damage in the surrounding areas, though. My in-laws are still without power, as are many others.
Gorgeous morning! I have the windows open, enjoying the nice, dry air. Have a great day, everyone.
Currently 62* degrees out at thee YARDofBRICKS feels wonderful outside if only the rest of summer would feel this good
but then again when the real warmth comes back it rains and cools off a day or to later I can handle that till Fall crazy wet windy pattern we are in…Have a super nice day MV’s best …INDY
Wow, that’s a long list of storm reports! All around the Zeeland area was probably the most widespread damage I’ve seen in many years. Nothing on the scale of the ‘98 derecho, but a large affected area. Somehow we never lost power, but just about everyone I know in the area did. Our business has outdoor security cameras so I rewatched the storm rolling through. Looked just like the videos you see from the middle of a hurricane. Crazy stuff!
WOOD now has 87 degrees and 90 degrees in their upcoming forecast. The pattern of 10+ days of heat, 2-3 days of cooler air, and then heat rebuilding keeps continuing.
We are now one third of the way thru June 2020 and at Grand Rapids the mean so far this month is 70.0° that is good for a departure of +4.5. The high for the month so far is 93 and the low for the month is 42. And there has been a reported 1.45″ of rain fall.
Slim
Wet month that’s for sure and the winds crazy but it feels great Outside our longest days of the year are now enjoy them Slim 2 and half months September already….Shuuuuu…INDY
I lost power yesterday around 2 PM and it came back on at 10:30. The only damage in my area was a lot of small branches and leaves blown off trees. I did see either a power, old phone or cable line that was down just down the street. (that was not the cause of the power outage in the area) I also recorded a total of 0.70″ of rain fall. At this time it is clear here and 57. The last reading at GRR was clear and 58.
