The official H/L yesterday at Grand Rapids was 73/50 there was a reported 0.01” of rainfall the sun was out 100% of the possible time. The highest wind speed was 24 MPH out of the W. For today the average H/L is 67/46 the record high of 88 was set in 1896 and 1930 the record low of 23 was set in 1947. The most rainfall of 4.10” fell in 1956 the record snowfall of 5.5” fell in 1923 that is also the record snowfall for the month of May. Last year the H/L was 73/44.
The overnight low here in MBY was 52. At the current time it is 53 with clouds moving in from the SW.
On this date in 1923: A very late-season winter storm dropped up to a foot of snow across Lower Michigan. Records were set for May snowfall at many places with Saginaw and Bay City having around a foot, Lansing having11.5 inches, Grand Rapids with 5.5 inches, and Detroit with 6 inches. Widespread damage was reported with trees and power lines snapping under the heavy wet snow.
Are you telling him nice weather fits your schedule? Not a good idea.
But timing is great with a weekend and it being Mother's Day. We are doing boat on Saturday with the entire family (even my mom) and then dinner on the deck on Sunday. Looking forward to a taste of summer.
I am sure there will be more rain ahead too. If it stays warm in May then June is likely to be cooler and wetter than normal.
Agree with this sentiment. You know I’ll be out enjoying it in some part of the region in some form, even if I use this place as an outlet to grumble about double digit positive anomalies or airport temps wildly exceeding guidance.
It did seem like enough of a purely subjective statement that it called for a little prodding, though.
