I am using single word descriptors for the weather the next couple days – I believe that is all which is needed.
Periods of rain with some embedded thunderstorms are expected into Sunday. This is due to a stationary front stalled just to our south. As waves traveling along the front, periods of showers will be the result. It will be cooler than normal through Sunday. On Sunday into Monday the front gets pushed just far enough south to bring dry weather back to the area. However by mid week the front pushes north again with more showers and thunderstorms expected.
Banding of the rain is expected though it is not really known for sure where the flow will actually set up – below is the NAM guess of rain accumulation through Sunday. There is a chance of storms with the greatest hazard being hail for tonight into Saturday. I was hoping to get the grass mowed this weekend but that may be a no go…
I love the way how a certain troll always has to be negative when they dont like how others post. This is the reason in partial why Bill’s blog closed it comment section. Repeating the same old line is not very productive.
Today’s high temp was 18 degrees below normal! INCREDIBLE!
Much more normal. Regardless of a few temporary thaws, 42 degrees is where MI belongs. Winter long, Spring none, 2018 Cold. It’s that simple.
Bring on below normal temperatures all year long baby!
Well, the forecasted high for today was 50. Who knew that 50 would be at midnight?
+1
Here we go!

Looking like 70s all next week. Summer is nearly here. Yes !
Most of the time the weather pattern changes around every 60 to 90 days. On one of the other weather boards there are several posters who follow the pattern trends (there are also meteorologist who believe it such trends) anyway the posters on this blog believe that this year the pattern has been changing ever 30 to 40 days so that would mean that there could be several changes this summer with this warm May turning into a cool June. We shall see.

With the rain and a cold NE wind the temperature here at both my house and GRR had fallen to 40° this morning (this was late morning mind you) the current temp here at my house is now 41° with light rain falling yet. Up in the UP many locations in the interior fell into the low to mid 20’s but at least two locations fell into the teens. The reported low at Doe Lake (south of Munising) fell to 18° and in Gwin the reported low was 19° BTY Gwin is in Marquette county. Here is a little info on that town

38* degrees out at thee YARDofBRICKS!
This morning’s GFS run: warm. Pretty much all 70’s and 80’s beginning Monday if it comes true.
The latest Euro Weeklies would indicate it being warm to our south and cool here in the GL we shall see.

Thanks for the FACTS!
We’ve had 10 straight above average days to start May: +8.9 degrees above average. One below average day, and everyone freaks out haha Too funny
But will May end up as one of the warmest May’s on record?? in recorded weather history there has yet to be a top ten coldest April followed by a top ten warmest May. If that happens one for the record books. In fact only 3 of the top 20 coldest April’s was followed by a warmer than average May.

May will only end up slightly above normal!
The upe will be warmer then us again this weekend! INDYDOG14!!
Get ready for SNOW Lower MI!
Horrendous May day! INCREDIBLE COLD!
That’s okay. It happens, and it will be very short-lived. It’s just too bad it had to occur in conjunction with the weekend.
