It is expected to hit the west coast of Florida late on Wednesday, or possibly in the early morning hours of Thursday. It is currently a category 4 hurricane, with top winds of 155mph, and it is moving NE at about…

If you like the weather today, you will be thrilled with the entire week that’s on the way! While folks in Florida prepare for the onslaught of Hurricane Milton, here in the Northland, we can get ready for 7 days in a row of sunshine, mild temps and reasonable winds. And, that is just one of many reasons I’d rather…

It’s pretty hard to complain about the weather we have had for the last couple months. For the most part, sunny, warm and a little dry. Yeah, that’s the only negative. If we could’ve sprinkled in an inch of rain about once a week, it would have been perfect! And, that’s why I’m at least cautiously optimistic about tomorrow. After…

We had record high temps last Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Tomorrow morning, frost is likely across much of the area. Weather is never dull in the Northland! So, we’ve had plenty of heat, and we’ll have a cool start tomorrow morning. The one thing we could really use, is some precipitation, in any form, as continued fire danger is high…

The weather is finally taking on more of a fall-like feel. After 3 consecutive days of record heat last week, we are now cooling down, and the winds are strong both in front of, and behind a series of cold fronts from the northwest that are moving through the area. That is typical in the springtime, and transitioning from summer…

It looks like today will be the warmest day of the coming week. I’m all for that. We are in the second week of autumn, and it’s about time to cool things down a bit. We had 3 record highs in a row last week, from Thursday through Saturday. At this point, I don’t see us setting any new record…

We may be off by a week. I was under the impression the Autumnal Equinox took place last Sunday, like 5 days ago. Yet, this week has clearly still been summer, with sunshine and highs in the upper 70s and lower 80s all week. In fact, we hit a record high temp of 81 degrees yesterday. And, today we are…

No matter where you live on this planet, there will be some kind of natural hazard you will have to deal with. Up here, we have thunderstorms, tornadoes, blizzards, snow, ice, heat and cold. In Florida, they don’t have most of those things, but they do have occasional hurricanes some years. Right now, Hurricane Helene is menacingly moving toward Tallahassee,…

There is rain all the way from southern Ontario to eastern Texas. But not for us. Not today. As we look to the west, all we see is clear skies and sunshine, all the way to the West Coast. It’s beautiful weather, for sure. But, we could sure use about 2.6″ of rain in the next 5 days. I pick…

It’s raining in southern Ontario. It’s raining in central Iowa. It’s raining in Chicago. It’s raining all around us today. But we remain quite dry. We are between 2.5 and 3.0 inches below where we should be for the month of September. And, I don’t see any rain in the forecast to cut into that deficit in the next week….

The autumnal equinox arrived at 7:43am on Sunday. And amazingly, it feels like fall today! Last week, we had very warm high temps in the 80s, some 20 degrees above average. This week, now that it’s fall, we will instead have high temps right where they belong, in the mid 60s. They will warm up a little bit by midweek,…

It really has been a nice long summer. Plenty of warm days, and lots of hot days! Nobody could complain that we got a short, cool or wet summer. In fact, just the opposite. We would have liked to have more rain! We are more than an inch short of precip for the year, and more than 2″ short for…

It’s the end of the summer as we know it, and I feel fine. The autumnal equinox arrives at 7:43am this Sunday morning, and not a moment too soon. Part of the reason the cold front was so effective in producing severe weather yesterday, is that the airmass in the midwest was so hot and moist that it was just…

The average high temp for today is 67 degrees. We shot way over that yesterday, with our high of 86 degrees. We didn’t quite hit the record high of 89, set in 1948. The record for today is 90 degrees, set way back in 1891. I don’t see us hitting that, either! We are also about an inch and a…
