Cold, and Rain Is Going To Hit Us Hard This Week

Ok Guys Here Is The Lastest on this week. We are going to see a lot of cold this week. Now Tuesday and Wednesday are going to be very rainy. Basically we are going to see on and off rain the 2 days. Now on Wednesday night there is a chance for mabe some Ice pellets to be mixed in. Yes in a lose term that is snow. Now its not going to be bad... But thats how cold it is. Now after that it should start to turn nicer.. Now not really any warmer...just nicer.

Now i wanted to also bring up that if you want to that this weekend will be great for seeing colors on the trees. Temperatures will be in the 50's and 60's and it should be partly Sunny the whole weekend. Now after that there is a lot up in the air for next week. It could either be nice and sunny. Or we could see another repeat of this week with rain and cold.

One more thing for the weather blog tonight.... If you havent looked at the local forecast that they are brand new. I used Nasa World Wind For The Background. Now i also made it look more tecno.. Which is the theam of my new site. Also the heading is updated and I'm Trying not to make everything look so big... So Lots Of Changes!!!

That's All For Now

The Week Ends Nicely...Then Everything Goes Down Hill

So Here's the scoop... Some things have changed in the forecast since last night. So like I was saying last night. Friday Saturday and Some of Sunday will be there nice. We Will see lots of warm moist air in the area. Then on Sunday will will see a cold front that goes through. Monday we will start to see the drop in temperatures. Like 70's and that would be pushing it. That's also the start of the pattern of really cloudy wet unstable days. Now at the end of the 8-Day Forecast.. See The Lows... Were getting in the 30's for lows.... That Could Mean We Could see some mixing of the rain in really cold spots... Yes it is possible and it has happened before!

The Jet Stream Is Still looking like it is going to take that dip as i forecast ed. The Model has changed and said that the ridge of warm air will be pretty slow moving. That means that once this typical ridge sets up that we will see some very cool and maybe even down right cold air, with rain and wind for what could possibly for the next 10 days... Sorry for the bad news :(...


One More big point... I said that those storms are no big deal... Well they got stronger.. We now have Tropical Storm Kyle on our hands.. This storm is going to move north in the Atlantic until it hits Maine or Canada... Now really I'm not that worried.. I Don't Think It Will Be That bad up there.

The Warm Weather Is Going To Try To Hang On... But Will Not Win Out

Hey Guys,


Sorry I Haven't Posted In awhile.. There is a quite a few things that need to be mentioned for the days ahead.... For the short term we are looking at still warm conditions until Saturday.. That means that we are going to see lots of 70's and just a few 80's. Then Sunday we start to see fall make an entrance. Then temperatures are going to tumble. On Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday we could only see temperatures in the lower 60's and 50's


OK So Now Onto my next point. I have took a close look at the forecast for the next few days and there is an interesting that could happened.. Some Models are saying that the jet stream will start to dip... That means that we will see days in the 60's and 70's and then a cold front hits and then we go back down into the 60's... The other thing this could mean is that we will see a very rainy and cloudy patterned for a while....


One More Quick thing for the Weather Blog tonight... There is also some possible tropical development.. Now its nothing to worry about.. The systems are going to move up the coast..and not affect the oil platforms... :)



That's my view on the world forecast... See You Soon

A Frosty End To The Day... Then More Sunshine


OK.... Sorry I Said That I Would Update This On Tuesday.... Well I Had An Unexpected Singing Practice for Church..... Anyways Tonight is going to be a cold and chilly night. Were not going to see frost everywhere... I think that the frost will be in low-lying areas that usually see the colder temps. As for tomorrow, we are going to see generous amounts of sunshine but it is not going to be as warm as it was today... We Will Only see highs in the 60's around the area...As For Friday the same forecast holds true... We Will see lots of sunshine but the temperatures are going to tick up a few degrees..Now the next Chance of rain is going to be on Saturday with a cold front.. Now there is a few things up in the air on that. If 9and10's forecast is right then the cold front is no big deal and we will see no rain out of it... Now i did my forecast a little different then theirs... I said that there is going to be some pop up storms with some locally strong... so there is the forecast for right now... I will try to have a weekend forecast update on Friday... Take Care

WOW.... Lot's Of Rain Fell This Weekend and New Stuff


Wow.... It has been a weekend.... We got a lot of more rain here in northern Michigan this weekend!!! Here at my studio in McBain we got "1.52" Inches and it made the grass that much greener.... Anyways its Sunday and i have had Internet issues all day:(..... So that gave me the opportunity to make a new 8-day forecast... Now even i was shocked for how this came out... It only took 4 hours to make but it looks like a 9and10news graphic....



Anyways the forecast is that tonight there is going to be a few showers but nothing bad.... Tomorrow it is going to start off the day with some cloudy conditions and then becoming clear... The temperatures aren't going to show it... We are going to stay in the upper 50's for the day... Now on Monday night, I'm still looking into this but there is a possibility for frost... So I will have more on that later.... Its like 10:00 P.M so i better get going..... Update this soon.

Thursday Not Looking That Bad Then Rain on and off threw the weekned.


First of all.... I'm sorry that i haven't gotten to my weather blog in a long time... Before school started. Well I think that i have a system down that will help me in getting everything that needs to be done...done... Anyways i just wanted to say that's why i haven't been posting... Way to busy and not enough hour's in the day... :(


OK So enough about me... let's talk about the weather... We are finally getting some much needed rain. All the lawn's are returning from there brown to there green's again!! We aren't in any kind of drought and i think that will continue threw out the rest of the year. Tonight is going to be a really nice night. We will not see any frost and really have nothing to worry about. Now as for Thursday i think that we will see increasing cloud's in the afternoon and some rain chances for the night and into early Friday. Now i don't think that Friday will be a complete wash out.. Just some rain in the morning and then drying out for the afternoon and the evening hours. Now for this weekend it's going to 30-70... Which means that Saturday is going to be a complete wash out.. With ton's of rain in the area... We are going to see the other side of the cold front... Then Sunday is going to start to dry out before possibly seeing the remnants of "Ike"


That's all for now... Go to my website.

Tuesday Was Hot... But Cooling Way Down


Rain would be nice right now, and tonight a few of you will see some but not everyone. The dry air overhead is going win out as a strong cold front comes rolling into Northern Michigan tonight. That means the showers and storms to our west will fall apart and not much rain is expected. The best chance of seeing the rain will be in the U.P. Tomorrow looks a bit cloudier with some scattered showers or storms. However, the rain is going to be limited to areas east of of line from Alpena to Newaygo. So, this means most of you will not see any rain tomorrow. The storms that do develop are not expected to turn severe but could be quite strong for those of you east of I-75. The one thing everyone will experience is the cooler air. Highs are only going to reach the 60's and 70's. Thursday dries up for a little while with partly sunny to mostly cloudy skies. Then our eyes are watching the remnants of Gustav head up towards Michigan. Right now it looks like you'll see some rain from the system starting Thursday night and continuing through much of Friday. Unsettled weather dominates the weekend pattern too, with mostly cloudy skies and some showers. Highs remain seasonable with the mercury topping out in the 60's to low 70's.
