We are dog sitting this weekend, my stepdaughters lab Dozer. He gets along well with my other dogs and of course my cats. He is always a welcome addition to the family, the more the merrier. We have a large fenced in back yard for them to run around in so they don’t have to be taken out for a walk.
We have a cool 43° at 6am this morning which helps bring down our mean temps for the month of June. We received just short of an inch of rain yesterday from the low pressure system moving through. Below are the rainfall totals from yesterday.
Trends indicate rain chances will be best from US 10 to the north and I94 to the south with the area between limited to pop up showers and storms due to afternoon and evening instability. The weekend will not be a total washout and temps will be in the low to mid 70s. Of course the lakeshore will be cooler so inland lakes may be more pleasant to visit though we we see more clouds than sun. Today will be be best day for having sunny conditions.

I am trying out a new feature forecast option using my own weather graphics – I can appreciate the time the local METs put into their broadcast graphics. These will have to be tweaked and expanded as time goes by but this is the basic gist of what will appear here (eventually)..

Hey slim whats the record for least amount of 80* degree day’s in June I’m thinking Grand Rapids is on the way for one ..INDY!
Indy so far this June and this year Grand Rapids has officially seen just 2 days of 80 or better. The record low number of 80 days for June is just 2 set in 1916 with 5 in 1958, 1928 and 1917 in second place. And 1974, 1969, 1926 and 1915 tied for 3rd place with 6. The least 80 days or better for a year here in Grand Rapids is 36 in 1924 so far we have had just 2

Amazing …Thanks Slim ….INDY!
In other words, we likely won’t be close to a record when all is said and done.
Another beautiful sunny morning and back into the 70’s today. I love it! Also made it to 64 yesterday which was warmer than most of the forecasts I saw.
Sure is beautiful outside even better with out the heat this time of year … INDY!
Clouds have now rolled in as not as “beautiful” out there now.

Let me know what you think of my new weather graphic (above) – these are of my own design and are the next step in progression here at the Weather Center….
I think it looks good.

Looks very professional! Even better than most of the tv graphics!
So much for the warm weather hype that was posted on here from m live a few weeks ago about all of warm air headed our way! The warm weather fantasies are wrong again! Who knew?
Another weekend and more below normal temps, clouds and rain! My furnace definitly kicked on this morning to bring the house temp up to around 67 degrees! Incredible!
Yesterday most locations seen one of the coldest maximum temperatures for June 13th At Grand Rapids the high of 64° is the 4th coldest for the date (records go back to 1892) At Lansing the high of 62° was the 3rd coldest (records go back to 1863) And at Kalamazoo the high of 60 set a new record for the coldest maximum their records go back to 1887. The high of 65 at Muskegon where the sun came out earlier in the day was 65 but still was the 9 coldest high for the date their with the records going… Read more »
Woke up to the furnace running up here in Lakeview Michigan this morning courtney 41* degrees chilly and some beautiful sunshine outside looking forward to a fun summer fest this weekend have a super one ..INDY!
I had the furnace on to take the chill off this morning as well. I had a low here at my house of 42. If that were a “official” reading it would be the 3rd coldest low for the today (the official record low for this morning is 38 in 1978 with 40 in 1942 in 2nd place and 42 “officially” in 1958 and 1933)

Love the stats Slim thank you ..INDY!
Anyone see any signs of this pattern changing???
It is becoming frustrating for those whom actually want a summer.
Well, most weather to the West eventually works this way, but I sure hope we don’t get the incredible record breaking heat they are having. It would be nice to see the rain stop for a while. The damage taking place along the lakeshore is just insane.
Storms track from the Pacific Northwest are going to slow down over the great lks next week that will help with warming temputure’s Mark I’m thinking around the end of the month Michigan will see a more Summery pattern! The pure Michigan tour industry is going to start to take a hit soon with all this cool and wet weather we are having hold on!! ..Stay Tuned INDY!
