After what was forecast to be a winter storm, we received almost 3 inches of snow in our snowboard area, and .26 inches of melted precipitation in our guage. Winds are out of the East-NEast, about 5-10 and created some drifts early this am, but no more snow falling now. Snow started about 10 pm last night, and ended at 11:30 am this day. Digging out the drive is the job before us now, as we did get some drifts during the night. |

Interesting that by evening of the 27th, the snowboard was measuring only 4" of snow after a warming trend came in and some rain late last night. We now are showing even more melting with temps in the low 30's and looks like we will lose more on Sunday. |

Storms raging in the deep south, pushing warmer air our way may bring some showers late tonight and early Sunday, we will see. Looks like a warmer week is approaching, hopefully some rain will come with it, garden is drying out and the chemicals on the yards are not getting washed into the soil like they should.

The projected rain and thunderstorm activity failed to produce any significant amounts of moisture last night. We received .15 inches of accumalated moisture, and no lightening or severe weather. To the north, Traverse City and the Straits area, severe wind, rain and thunderstorms were recorded late in the afternoon and early evening yesterday, but nothing here in SW Michigan. Our hearts go out to those in the South, who lost loved ones and homes and material possessions, what a day they had yesterday! Anyway, .15 inches of rain here, no severe wind or lightening, currently overcastand 53 degrees, wind out of the East, barely turning the wind gauge. Have a safe and great day! |

Where did all the rain come from? When I left on early Friday morning to travel to southern Ohio, and then head East to Toronto, and get back to southern MI, we collected .93 inches of water. The wind has been sending temps to cooler ranges, and friends in WI told me they had a 3 inch snowfall yesterday! So much forglobal warming! Anyway, cooler temps are the experience today, wind chill is taking almost 10 degrees off the air temp. Cloudy skies have been prevailing all weekend, with a chance of more showers late tonight. Sunday, Mothers Day, is supposed to clear up and end the rain until late Tuesday evening. Enjoy the day tomorrow with loved ones. |

While driving yesterday to Indy, down I-69, I drove through the storm cells that eventually created the Tornado that hit near Bowling Green, Ohio. That is fun in a semi-tractor truck! Anyway, no measureable amount of moisture overnite, temps are in the high 40"s, and humidity near 95%. We are forecasted for more storm activity this afternoon early evening and more measureable rain through the night. Current temp under cloudy skies, 48 degrees. Have a great day! |

What a glorious day today was, still cooking out there! Started out yesterday like it was going to be a nasty wet and overcast day, but the clouds cleared out and the sun made the day very rewarding for garden and yard work. Today started at 68 degrees, and high humidity, but after church and dinner, finished the mowing I could not get done yesterday. We had a record of precipitation at .67 inches from Friday am- Sat am, sorry about being a day behind. Have a great evening and a wonderful week, summer is a coming! |

After what we thought was going to be a big storm last night, we only received .4 inches of rain. A lot of wind and tree damage was realized by both county residents and we ourselves , but no fatalities like that in MN. We lost the top out of an apple tree behind the housr, but nothing else. Thank goodness the hay is all up! Drove through southern Indiana on Thursday, what a mess! Flooded fields, beans under water, corn up four feet with a foot of water covering the roots, not good for Indiana farmers. Anyway, here is the weather here in s/c MI, partley cloudy, temp is 73 degrees, humidity at 88 %, expected highs in the low 90's, with a chance of rain showers later today. Have a great week end, and Happy Fathers Day! |

Rain gauge is empty, and only a few showers are showing up on extended radar, SW of Chicago at this time. Indiana, does not need any more rain, but we all know who controls that issue.Have a great day, be safe and enjoy the family! |

Rain gauge was full and spilling into large catch jar, measured 1.03 inches the past 24 hours. Had heavy rains through our area Thursday late morning and early afternoon, good for the yards and gardens. Some minor field flooding due to run off, but nothing significant. I drove through a lot of the storms coming from Canada, yesterday afternoon. Lots of standing water on highways, and all the construction zones were slow going. Have a great weekend, currently it is 70 degrees and overcast, high humidity. |

The heat is on and the moisture is non-existant, currently!This past week,Wednesday, we recorded .30 inches in an hour, but cleared up shortly after that. I was on the road, but experienced the wrath of nature in Eau Claire, WI. Was relaxing in the motel pool when I heard a rattling noise and wondered what was happening. All of a sudden, golf ball size hail started hitting us in the pool, and we quick headed for the room. Within moments, the weather alert sirens started to sound and we were asked to go to the safe room in the motel. I went outside and watched the sky, and a tornado was in the neighborhood, not on the ground but rolling above us. We had a total of three recorded tornado cells, and some tree damage along the I-94 corridor east of Eau Claire. No injuries, but soon was all clear and we went out to eat.
Currently here in SW MI, it is sunny, humid, and breezy, expecting some moisture later today and tomorrow. have a blessed day! |

This has been some exciting weather we have been having! Yesterday, as I was returning from a delivery to Canada, the skies turned black and all of a sudden we were under a tornado warning and across the field from the warehouse where I was, was a tornado, touching down at the WK Kellogg Air Field. No serious damage was to be found, but loss of power to the air field was still evident this afternoon. But, lo and behold, upon my return from another trip today from Ohio, we had another "pop-corn" storm and we had well over an inch of rain in less than an hour. And again, the tornado warnings were issued andwe all headed for some kind of cover. No tornado was produced, but we did take a hit of lightening on our warehouse, too close for comfort! Back to weather observations, we had .47 inches of rain in our gauge at home, fell after 2 pm and ended before 6 pm. Humidity is 87%, temp is a heavy-muggy 82 degrees. Have a great weekend, keep your eyes open! |

Had a busy weekend with limited moisture recorded.We had a couple of "pop=up" showers that lasted only a short while, less than an hour each. Did record almost .57 inches of moisture over the two days, nothing last 24 hours. Currently it has cooled off a bit, lower humidity readings and comfortable to be working out in the yard. Currently it is 79 degrees at 12:17 pm, have a great day! (Report changed to multi-day accumulation.) |

Has been quite a dry spell here, nothing in the way of moisture to report, unlent how much my dehumidifier is draining! It is working over-time in our basement these days. Hope you had a safe weekend, looking for rain, but not much on its way. |

A late morning rain and all afternoon rain brought some relief to the yards and gardens in our area. It is not enough to really help long range, but more is on its way, in a day or two. Very humid currently, temps are still in the 80's, and no wind. Going to be sticky if one does not have an A/C. Have a great day! |

Received a welcome rain early on Saturday, lasted several hours into the morning. was a relief to our garden and plants. High humidex made working outside less than comfortable, but a cool front came through in the evening and has made this morning very pleasant. Have a great day, will be reporting from the Oregon and CA coast the next two weeks as we are taking a much needed vacation. God bless. |

Rain guage showed .75 inches of collected moisture the past 24 hours. We received the rain an high winds, causing over 110,000 outage customers on the power grid throughout South Michigan. This am was overcast and later sunny, but back to cloudy and cooler. Fall is here, time to get the crops out of the fields and off the trees. Hope the rains hold off now so we can accomplish these tasks! Currently 58 degrees and winds out of the NW, 5-10 mph. |
