We find ourselves in an exceptional period of grand weather conditions in Michigan and all is good. The only issue I have had is the proliferation of mosquitoes coming off the river and woods up to the homestead the past couple days. I have had to battle ants this spring also – they are the worse I have seen them in the 20 plus years I have lived here. I generally don’t like using pesticides around the lawn and grounds due to all the birds and animals scurrying about but the large ant nests have left me no choice.
Enjoy the sun and warmth today and tomorrow as our summer-like conditions will come to a halt and next week will return to below normal temperature-wise. The 6 to 10 day outlook give us a 80% chance of below normal temps and the 8 to 14 day gives us a 63% chance of below normal temps. Normal daytime highs are supposed to be around 80° with lows around 56°, dependent on where you live.

Rain chances will increase throughout Sunday – of course it is as I was planning on a barbecue in the afternoon. Below is the NAM prediction of the next four days. The second is the precipitable water (PWAT) forecast showing saturation values up around two inches.

Looking at the long range CFSv2 outlook we will continue an up and down temperature pattern through the rest of the month into the first part of July.

I noticed that too. Beautiful day out there! I think I would have rather been at the beach than doing screens. LOL!!
Does anyone know about seeing Jupiter in the sky this weekend and what direction to look?
We reached 81 here and now it is 80 degrees. We did it. 🙂
And there it is! GR is officially into the 80’s like everyone else! No records this year and no more having to hear about that on here. I love it!
Okay, now what will we talk about? LOL
Ants are bad here too, especially at the office. I have never seen them this bad inside.
Still no 90’s! Incredible!
Approaching 70 degrees by 10am. Certainly feels like the middle of summer in early June!
Yes and no heat in sight love it ..what a difference a year makes I have not even put the fan in the window yet and who is even thinking of the air conditioner?? .. Probably have to go bye a furnace filter next week lol…INDY!!
With 60’s for highs next week going to feel like Fall around here I’m loving it perfect week for my vacation just stay out of lk Michigan I guess lol..INDY!!
It’s very common and to be expected. The last 5 Junes have seen multiple days in the 60’s. June 2016 had a high of only 63 degrees.
Yes this incredible cool pattern shows no sign of let up yet the warm weather fanatics will still not admit reality! Amazing!
Still waiting for the first official 80 day this year at Grand Rapids. The average high is now at 77° The current temperature here at my house is 62 and at the airport it is 63.

Michael, ants are no fun. The mosquitoes are awful. If we could get the chipmunks to stay away from our strawberries we would be even happier!!!
BREAKING NEWS…………..GR will hit 80 degrees today and then by Monday we will be in a major below normal temp pattern again. Get you furnace and Spring coats ready! INCREDIBLE!
Yes, we will. And by Monday, June will be warmer than average. Incredible!
Whoops, Rocky wrong again! Who knew?
Back to back 79 degree days with even warmer temps upcoming!
What? A below normal temp trend? Who would have thought?
