2025 - How's the Weather Where You Are?

My neighbor and I are waiting on the roofer to fix our roofs from the wind storm two weeks ago.

We dodged a huge weather bullet last night.

We are already under a severe weather alert Wednesday thru Sunday. System will stall over my area and some could see up to a foot of rain. I sit high with excellent natural drainage, so that’s the least of my worries. If I lose more shingles—- well —- so what —- I’m on the roofer’s schedule.

It has rained and warmed up enough that I now need to mow, but that won’t be possible until it quits raining and in the meantime, the grass will keep growing.🤯

At least it’s warm🤠
 
Going to be a pretty nice day at 58F/14C. The last couple of days have been unseasonably warm so we are back to more normal temperatures for this time of year.

Heavy, heavy thunderstorms last night have taken some of the blossoms from the trees. 🌸⛈️
 
Sunday got pretty active here come late afternoon into early evening.

Four tornadoes touched down in Michigan on Sunday evening.​
The National Weather Service confirmed that tornadoes touched down in Cass County and Kent County on the west side of the state and Ingham County near Lansing.​
Timeline:
One of the tornadoes, an EF-1 twister, hit Edwardsburg in Cass County near the Indiana border at 4:52 p.m. The storm with nearly 100 mph winds snapped trees and caused damage to buildings while on the ground for three minutes.​
Another tornado touched down in Cutlerville at 5:42 p.m., bringing with it 80 mph winds to the Kent County city.​
Two additional tornadoes were confirmed in Ingham County. First, an EF-0 tornado with 75 mph winds touched down in Leslie at 6:20 p.m., before a stronger EF-1 tornado with 110 mph winds was on the ground for more than 5 miles in Williamston at 6:40 p.m.​

According to Ingham County Emergency Management, winds from the storms knocked a tree on a Stockbridge Township home, killing a 56-year-old man.​

Beyond the confirmed tornadoes, severe weather was reported across Michigan on Sunday evening.​
In Kalamazoo County's Climax Township, a tree fell on a van, killing a 2-year-old girl, her 4-year-old brother, and their 11-year-old cousin. Two adults and another child were also hurt.​
The powerful storms knocked out power for thousands across the state and caused damage, especially on the west side of the state.​

That Williamston EF-1 was just 6 to 8 miles from me. Lots of wind and weird wind noises, but not a lot of tree limbs down here. Power never blinked.
 
Now we have a 5th tornado in the count:

As of Tuesday morning, the National Weather Service (NWS) confirmed a tornado touched down in Newaygo County east of Grant this Sunday.​
NWS teams from the northern Indiana and Grand Rapids offices are continuing to survey the storm damage.​
