  1. 48 for the low this morning. Should top out in the upper 60's today before some unsettled weather for the weekend. Point has the peak of the heat here @ 84 Tuesday before falling back into the 70's. June cruising by.
  2. Warmed to 74 before a quick moving thunder shower with some pea sized hail moved through dropping a quick .29”. Temp has cooled to 66. clear overnight with a low around 47 expected.
  3. Received nearly a half an inch of rain last night with a brief thundershower, some gusty winds too. South of here around Negaunee had some tremendous lightening and just over a half inch. It was welcome rain. Today will be a windy day with a chance of isolated storms later and a pleasant high of 72. Not sure how deep into the heat the northern lakes will get next week but mid 80's look like a good bet for a few days.
  4. A much warmer morning, low of 48. Should see a nice summer day with a high around 80. Chance of showers and maybe a rumble of thunder but living in this part of the UP I've come to lower my expectations for storms. Cool lake is a killer.
  5. Quite frosty this morning with 34 degrees. About a dozen other sites were 32 or below, Including Marquette Sawyer @ 32. Hopefully last of the season. Glad I covered the garden well and brought in my potted flowers. Cool spots: Stonington 28 Champion 29 Baraga Plains 29 Doe Lake 29
  6. Had 37 at my house. No frost otg but there was some on the roof of my house. Tonight should be similar. cool spot was Baraga Plains with 26. currently full Sun, breezy and 58. Frost advisory issued for the entire UP.
  7. Edit: 49 47 46 with light sprinkles Cloudy and 50 degrees at 1:30 with a strong northerly flow... sweatshirt weather. Still in the upper 40's just west of here in the higher terrain. Should clear this evening with upper 30's a good bet. Return to sun and low-60's for Monday then 70 by Tuesday with a string of them to follow.
  8. Widespread 30's and 40's for lows last night. Cool spot was Spincich Lake at 35. Northern lights were also visible in the northern sky after midnight and before clouds arrived. Cool today in the mid 60's and even cooler tomorrow with a high around 54 forecast. As much as I do enjoy the cooler temps, I am ready for some summer like weather. Backyard is lush
  9. Received around 160-170 inches in my area... love where I live. Hoping for a much better season! MQT We’re a little late posting the season snowfall map for this past snow season, but really there’s not much to look at. Of the past 22 seasons for which season snowfall maps have been created at NWS Marquette, this is the first in which no location in Upper MI exceeded 200 inches for a season snowfall total. There have been 4 seasons in the last 22 that were close to failing to reach 200 inches: 2009-2010, 2010-2011, 2011-2012 and 2020-2021. What made this past snow season even worse for those who enjoy snow recreation and for the businesses that rely on snow was the frequency of warm weather that caused melting of the snow that fell. On a final note, for Upper MI, the first snowflakes of the 2023-2024 season were observed on October 7th and the last snowflakes where observed on April 23rd.

  10. Rain showers moving through this morning, maybe even a thundershower later. Temps should stay in the low 60's with the rain today and probably not get above that through Monday with highs generally in the upper 50's and low 60's and nighttime lows in the 40's. Garden will not like this weather but for me it's refreshing. Along with the cool temps, daily rain chances as well which is def nice after the extended dry period.
  11. Sun finally broke through about 2 hours ago. 79/66 with a heat index of 81. Gusty south wind keeping it nice especially in the woods. Hoping for at least a1/2 to 3/4’s tonight
  12. Fog, low clouds with temps in the mid 60's this morning should give way to a very warm and humid day... 82 is forecast with dews as high as mid 60's. Cool weather in the 60's looks to follow for the next week. Interestingly, the bugs have not been that bad. I think the heavy frost put a hurting to the noseeums and the dry weather has kept the skeeters in check. Have noticed some blk flies on the increase but nothing too annoying yet.
  13. Beautiful Sunday morning already in the mid-60's... should reach mid 70's. Smoking a pork butt. Could use some rain, .05" yesterday Been splitting and stacking all week from a couple trees that fell two years ago. About 65% done with this winter's wood.
  14. They'll eat worms and some crawling bugs but they're not gonna chase down a flying bug. They are peckers.
  15. Warm and windy over this way. 76 this afternoon with dew around 50. Feels pretty good, wind keeping bugs at bay.
  16. Weather station read 33 at 5 am this morning with a heavy frost. Hopefully last of the season! Cool spots: Baraga Plains, Baraga County 25 Stonington, Delta County 26 Champion, Mqt County 27 Doe Lake, Schoolcraft County 28 Marquette Sawyer 32
  17. As expected, most of the N woods of MI, WI and MN are under a frost advisory tonight. Beautiful day under 100% sun with a high of 59, chilly north wind. Currently sitting at 58/30. The temp will fall quickly as the fun falls below the hills south and west of me. Quick warm up to around 70 tomorrow.
  18. Looking at the forecast map, interior parts of the yoop will likely see some freezing temps tomorrow night. I should be around 35 but will take no chances as that's solid frost territory and with the hills and valleys locally, colder pockets do form around here. Probably will be the last frost for me as my proximity to the lake makes it more difficult moving forward but I have seen 30's for lows in June, July, and August and in fact, in interior areas 30's are fairly common from time to time in the summer.
  19. Point has 38 tonight and 35 tomorrow night but inland a bit, upper 20’s and low 30’s tomorrow night. To be safe will have to cover a few things as I have already planted heartier veggies.
  20. Spent most of my time as a kid living in N Indiana in a small town In between Ft Wayne and South Bend... it was rural but still busy and heavily populated. Growing up I had always wanted to live in a truly remote area and on top of that I really disliked the heat and humidity of the corn belt, loved wintertime and snow, so this area was a no brainer for me. Not to mention I'm a fairly introverted person anyway so the lack of people suited me well. The closest town to me is Big Bay which has a population of 381 but has also lost 33% of its population since 2020 for whatever reason. It's a small hunting, camping town that sees a bit of a bump in activity during the summer and autumn months from tourists but a literal ghost town in winter. It has a small general store with gas and the basics... I can be there in 15 min. Marquette, the biggest city in the UP with a population around 20k, has all the necessities, some decent restaurants and a few big box stores and is a 25-30 min trip, depending on the weather. Close enough but also far enough away that the summer tourists don't bother me. Occasionally I do go downstate and back to Indiana for different things and the traffic, the people and the hustle can be a bit overwhelming but reminds me exactly why I live where I do, down a dead-end dirt road in the middle of Michigan's n woods.
