First snowflakes of the year! Saturday started off very nice, with plenty of sunshine. However, things quickly changed with the approach of a strong cold front. Front arrived around 3:30 pm, with an initial push of light rain showers, which quickly changed over to a brief period of moderate snow, just enough to briefly whiten the ground. Just before sunset, sunshine returned, melting any remaining snow, however temperatures remained in the low 30s. Winter is coming! |

Clipper-type system dropping through the area produced the first measurable snow of the season. Snow began just after 4pm, but took a long time to accumulate thanks to temperatures holding in the middle 30s. After sunset, a slushy accumulation of snow took place. All in all, a great night to decorate outside for Halloween! |

Widespread Thanksgiving day rain briefly mixed with snow during the mid morning, but went back to rain for much of the day thanks to weak diurnal heating. Just after sunset, rain quickly changed to snow, and temperatures fell into the lower 30s, with snow accumulating fairly well on grassy surfaces.
Deformation-driven snow wound down just after midnight but was gradually replaced by light lake effect as brief surge of colder air rolled into the area. |

A rather potent approaching clipper system brought a quick burst of light to moderate snow beginning at 7:45 pm and persisting up through early morning. The snow initially took on a very fluffy nature, but quickly transitioned to some huge pellets (not sleet, just convective snow) toward 11pm as the precip became much more convective. Temperatures also climbed upward during the precipitation, cracking the freezing mark before midnight. Despite this, snow stuck to all surfaces for the first time this season. |

Nice beautiful sunny day yesterday, with highs nearing 40 degrees!! However, low dewpoints in the lower 20s kept snow melt almost non-existent, save for some patches on the roads (and that's not a bad thing). Snowmobile trails starting to get a little chewed up though. Send more snow north! :) |

After a beautiful, sunny day on Thursday, low clouds once again returned overnight thanks to Lake Huron, helping hold low temperatures only near 25 degrees. This month has certainly featured some extremes, including a high of just 4 degrees back near the beginning, and more recently, an incredible lack of both snow and liquid precipitation. I have a feeling winter may well arrive back here soon with some real force. |

The ongoing stretch of dry weather continues. Despite the approach of an occluded frontal boundary during the day on Sunday, rainfall was less than stellar. Temperatures slowly climbed up toward 40 degrees during the late evening, before ever so slowly dipping back through the 30s overnight. Periodic drizzle was also noted overnight, which actually froze to the roads despite temperatures holding just above freezing (ambient cold ground). |

Deep low pressure across the northeast U.S. wrapped back a band of light snow across the area through the late morning and mid afternoon hours of Friday, though snowfall was quite a bit less than expected. Gusty winds made for some blowing and drifting snow. Snowfall tapered to occasional flurries and even some freezing drizzle during the mid to late evening hours, making for some rather slippery road conditions across the Gaylord area. |

Wow - this weather is just plain awesome! Full sunshine on Saturday resulted in afternoon highs reaching the middle 40s, with snowmelt starting to ramp up in all areas. Snow depth has dropped to around 5.5" as of this morning, but will still call it 6 given some deeper areas in the woods. Expect we'll see that fall tomorrow as sunshine is expected today, with slightly warmer temperatures. Hope spring is here to stay this year! |

Deep low pressure spinning across the Tennessee Valley tried its best to spread increasing mid/high level cloudiness across the region on Wednesday, but failed miserably by early afternoon as just plain sunny skies broke out (thanks to a very dry airmass in place). Clouds did finally increase by early evening, along with a bit of very light rain just before 7pm, however this rain failed to measure more than a trace (just enough to wet down the pavement). Some rather dense fog noted around observation time as deeper moisture advanced into the area. |

Plenty of low clouds, peristent light fog, and occasional light drizzle draped itself across the area on Friday, making for a more typical Gaylord March day. Fog rapidly thickened up just before sunset, becoming very dense during the evening hours. Fog gradually lifted overnight, with a few showers rolling through the area. The remaining snow is finally gone, save for a few larger files, thus the snow depth is officially zero for the first time since early December. |

Happy April! It's no joke how dry we are around here, with a meager 0.16" falling last month, good enough for the driest March on record, which also followed the driest February on record as well. Since January 1, a total of 1.24" of precip has fallen...not good at all. Had quite a few fires around northern Michigan yesterday, and will probably only get worse the next few days. On the positive side, it was 73 degrees at this location for a high yesterday - incredible by late March standards. |

Another fantastic day on Sunday, though winds were very gusty out of the southwest, with dewpoints falling into the lower 20s once again (with very low humidity values). A rather interesting evening, as a broken band of showers pushed through the area, with very dry air down low supporting brief wind gusts to near 50 mph, which was enough to snap a few trees in the neighborhood. One of these trees even landed on a vehicle - not good. Unfortunately, no appreciable rain came from the showers either, with just enough to barely wet the ground at times. Mild conditions prevailed overnight, with lows only in the upper 40s. |

Broken band of rain tried its best to push into the area along an elevated warm front on Saturday, but managed to only produce a couple sprinkles. Early afternoon dewpoints dropped rapidly into the upper teens, as filtered sunshine allowed highs to push 60. This very dry airmass certainly didn't help the rain cause. |

Rain finally advanced into the area around 10:30 am, with periodic showers continuing up through mid afternoon, before approaching dry slot shifted things more toward drizzle. Ceilings and visibilities then gradually lowered into the evening, as drizzle persisted,
with even a brief period of dense fog observed just before 9pm. Another round of lighter showers arrived around 11pm in association with an approaching occluded frontal boundary. |

Just amazing how it won't rain convectively in this area sometimes. A series of 3 MCS features developed upstream yesterday evening, and tried their best to propagate into the area overnight, but never could make it thanks to a wedge of very dry air intact over much of Michigan. The remnants of the final MCS finally delivered an underperforming 0.02 inches of rain just before observation time, with an earlier shower delivering just a trace around 10pm yesterday. |

Can't believe we got missed by all the action. After yesterday morning's debacle of having 3 MCS features miss us (just a pathetic 0.02 inches), all of yesterday afternoon's activity fired to the east and south in advance of an approaching cold front as plenty of clouds limited instability. Did see just a brief shower clip this location right around noon, and it was rather humid throughout the afternoon hours (with dewpoints into the lower 70s). An approaching front put an end to the humidity by early evening as dewpoints fell into the middle 60s around 6 pm, with winds shifting northwest and turning a bit gusty (as skies cleared as well). A cooler night overnight, with lows into the lower 60s. |

A decaying area of rain passed through the area during the late morning hours, leaving just plain cloudy conditions in its wake for the afternoon. Meanwhile, a warm front lifting north sparked renewed showers and storms along the M-55 corridor, some of which exhibited strong rotation. However, up this way, drier air (relatively speaking) kept additional showers well to the south, with even the approaching cold front by late evening failing to produce any rain. It just won't rain up here!! The overnight hours brought low stratus and a period of dense fog around 4 am, along with periodic drizzle, sufficient to measure 0.01 inches. |

A brief round of mainly light showers occurred during the mid morning hours (between about 8 and 10 am), with a mainly cloudy day following thereafter. Humidity levels climbed through the day as dewpoints rose to around 70 (quite high for up here in northern Michigan). Skies finally cleared into the late evening and overnight hours, though plenty of haze/light fog remained. |

The start of a nice cooldown began on Thursday with plenty of cumulus/stratocumulus firing off during the mid morning hours and continuing into the afternoon. Humidity levels were noticeably lower, with dewpoints mixing out into the lower 50s and a gusty northwest breeze. Some hint of lake effect cloudiness showed up for the first time late overnight, with a few sprinkles moving toward the area by observation time (but nothing fell up through 7 am). |

Quite the fall-like day on Friday as a refreshingly cool airmass overtook northern Michigan. The first vestiges of lake effect clouds rolled across the area during the mid morning, even depositing a few sprinkles. Otherwise, variably cloudy conditions were noted through the afternoon along with a nice northerly breeze, and dewpoints falling into the upper 30s and lower 40s. Bring on fall!! Overnight lows tumbled to 45 degrees under mainly clear skies, though lake effect clouds returned late (just before observation time). |

A warm front lifting toward the area on Friday provided a small uptick in heat and humidity, though dewpoints still held only in the 50s. A nice complex of showers and storms along the front upstream into Wisconsin/Minnesota during the late evening rolled into the area just after sunrise (around 6 am), though weakened quite a bit as it approached. Still, some briefly moderate rain and a few rumbles of thunder did make an appearance. |

A rather warm and humid day on Friday, though sunshine was quite limited during the afternoon thanks to plentiful high cloud cover (debris from upstream convection). A large area of showers/storms across Wisconsin during the evening largely died as it approached overnight, though a brief moderate shower developed right overhead just before observation time. |

An absolutely beautiful day noted on Monday, as a very dry airmass slid across the area, with dewpoints falling down into the 40s. Very gusty winds were noted from the west as well, with highs just barely cracking 70 degrees - fall can't be too far behind. Into the evening hours, a renewed shot of colder air across the warm lake waters in combination with an approaching shortwave brought a band of showers across the area, with rain briefly falling heavily and even a lightning strike noted. Skies then cleared rapidly overnight as high pressure approached and drier air again pushed into the area. |

An approaching upper wave/warm front gave way to a developing MCS feature (one of a very few that have visited this area over the past two years), that tracked through northern Michigan into Friday evening.

Monday turned out to be quite the cloudy and gloomy day, thanks to plentiful low cloud cover stuck beneath a lowering subsidence inversion as high pressure built into the region.

Winds turned increasingly gusty through the afternoon, with temperatures by early evening down into the upper 50s, making for a rather chilly night to go to the county fair (a good time though).

In its wake, a quick improvement in weather conditions was noted by late morning and through the afternoon as sunshine increased with much drier air advancing southward (dewpoints falling through the 30s). Clear skies and light winds overnight allowed temperatures to dip to near freezing, with plenty of frost noted on exposed surfaces. The low temperature at this location was 34 degrees. |

A very warm day on Tuesday, as warm air flooded north in advance of an approaching cold front. That front acted to spark a round of showers and thunderstorms as it plowed into an unstable atmosphere, but once again, all of the activity came together well to the south of this location. This has been a common theme the past 2 years, with a stark inability for us to get any thunder up this way. Anyway, we did manage a very brief shower (about 30 seconds), not even enough to wet the ground. Skies cleared into the overnight hours as high pressure and drier air built into the region. |

Wow what a rain around these parts. A stalled warm front led to repeat rains through the early afternoon hours of Thursday, with some thunder even noted at times. Additional scattered showers developed through the afternoon, before the warm front lifted north of the area. Temperatures then soared through the middle 70s into the overnight hours, as very gusty southwest winds developed. Skies even cleared at times, leaving a brilliant full moon and temperatures around 75 degrees! A cold front approached just before observation time, but rain held off through 7 am. |

What started as a very warm day (temps in the low 70s) early Friday ended on a chilly note as strong cold advection kicked in through the afternoon, sending temperatures falling through the lower 50s, with gusty southwest winds. Periodic light rain showers were also noted into Friday afternoon, taking a break for a time into the evening. Thereafter, developing lake effect rain showers made a visit overnight, persisting up through observation time. |

A rather nice, albeit chilly day on Sunday with high pressure nosing into the area. In typical fashion, however, clouds proved pesky, with one axis of lower clouds sneaking through the area during the morning, giving way to developing stratocumulus into the afternoon. That said, some sunshine did make an appearance at times, though highs struggled to reach the mid 50s. Clear skies returned just after sunset, with overnight lows dipping into the lower 30s, with areas of frost again noted. |

A perfect day to take some foliage pictures as the colors are leaves are quickly changing around here (I would estimate 50-75% color at this point - about 2 weeks ahead of schedule). Clouds thickened again overnight rather unexpectedly, leaving a low overcast by observation time. |

Clouds thickened again overnight, with a few showers arriving in advance of an approaching cold front. The front brought just enough rain to wet the ground but not measure. |
