Beautiful morning with a low of 46, even a few spotty showers around dawn. Great stretch of late summer-early fall weather ahead after some much needed weekend rain.
-
I’m all in for a mild/warm fall. No need to rush winter but I do consider summer over up here September 1st regardless of temps. Leaves are well on their way, sun goes behind the trees on the hill mid afternoon. The look and feel of summer has faded.
-
Should be a nice breezy day in the upper 60's w/ lows tonight in the low 40's. Not much rain materialized over the past several days, It's pretty dry. I've had a hummingbird feeding frenzy for about 2-3 weeks then seemingly overnight they're gone. I'll leave the feeders up another week or two for stragglers. Sure sign that summer is over in the northland.

Cool early fall weather up this way today. Should only see low-60's for highs with gusty north winds off Superior. Mid-30's to low 40's depending on location tonight. Some areas will likely have some patchy frost in the interior.
-
Nice night for sleeping with the doors and windows open. Low here of 47, 50's closer to the lake with some mid-30's in the traditional cooler spots (36 Doe Lake). Sunny low-70's on tap today with another cool night before some rain hopefully arrives later this week.
-
Upper 40's for the low here. Have only had .25" of rain this month but surprisingly not even AD on the drought monitor. Will probably change with the next update. Fairly seasonable this week w/ a couple cooler nights likely. Averages for this area are 73/53 and sliding quick. The dry weather may cause the leaves to give it up a bit early this year. Changes are already visible in the higher terrain areas.
-
Stayed in the upper 60's all day w/ some drizzle and fog from time to time. Seasonal weather this week with the possibility of a sneaky cool night Wednesday. Point is already 45.
-
Warm and muggy vs cool and dry. I’ll take the cool temps but would have loved to have seen some of the rain and storms even tho Marquette county isn’t too terribly dry but other spots are. Looking forward to a wild autumn and winter, warm or cold.
-
It's been a very quiet month up this way... all the action happening in the southern sub. Cool this morning w/46 @ my place. Chilly spot is the Yellow Dog @ 38.
-
Average looking weather heading into mid-August. Cool nights, warm days, some showers... tell-tale signs of autumn are starting to show up here in the northland.

If you could re-experience ONE winter event....

The 18 inch Jan 1999 storm in N Indiana will always be the storm I remember most. I was only 10 at the time but it solidified my love for snow... and weather in general for that matter. I will never forget as the storm ramped up, a milk truck from the dairy farm I lived on getting stuck in our driveway as it was trying to turn around because the road west was already drifted shut, and my dad using shingles under the tires to give it some traction and get it moving again before it could become permanently stuck for days. Since then, def have seen my fair share of storms, many in excess of 3 feet, but none have made the lasting impression that Jan 99 did. It was a storm through the eyes of a kid and one that set in motion the direction my life would take. -
Mid/upper 50s with winds gusting upwards of 30 mph at times with some lake/terrain enhanced showers. Refreshing after the heat and smoke. AQI is 12 this afternoon.
-
Had two severe warned storms today. Rain totaled 1.78", with some small hail and gusty winds with each one. Garden took a bit of a hit but nothing a stake and some rope didn't fix. Weather the next couple days looks cool, high in the 60's tomorrow with a low in the 40's. AQI of 101 should improve further tomorrow.
-
Conditions up here have improved quite a bit since yesterday. AQI in Mqt is 176 with rain showers moving in. Probably not out of the woods with the smoke tho.
-
My sister was flying in today from Florida to MQT and her connecting flight from Chicago to MQT has been cancelled due to visibility and ash. I've never seen smoke this bad at the surface before.
-
Just a coating, I'm sure they're aware. It's all over social media.
-
Enough that you can blow a flat surface is see the ash blow away, and its visible falling too.
-
Accumulating ash
-
Just went outside and the smoke smell is thick and there's a coating of fine ash on everything.

The all-time warmest low temperature was set at our office today in Negaunee Township at 76°F. This breaks the previous record warm low of 74°F set in July of 2002. Records for our office date back to 1959 with an observational period of midnight to midnight EST (1 AM to 1 AM EDT). What makes this record exceptional is that it happens to be the same value as the 30-year normal high temperature for this time of year.
-
96 with more humidity than yesterday. Glad it's over. Upper 70's-low 80's the rest of the week. Cue the smoke.
-
Reached 98 here. Dews fell from the mid 70's to the upper 50's during the hottest part of the day, so it wasn't that bad. Highest reading in the UP was 102 @ Baraga Plains. They're usually one of the top 5 cold spots too. One more day in the mid 90's, then back to more respectable summer weather.
-
90/75 and as still as can be.
-
Yeah, sure! Whether it's 97 or 100 it's going to be crazy hot, might as well set a record. I'm pretty much down for any extreme type of weather. I have frozen watermelon and ice water for the chickens, and frozen baby carrots for my bunnies to munch on. Hopefully that will keep them from getting too hot this afternoon.
