Northern Michigan Recreation Weather

Just testing some upgrades to the website and the social media

…however, a flock of geese just flew into the lake nearby. Not to mention the and humidity just moved for the next week. I think fall is coming.

I just ended the summary of tweets for the regular posts. I’ve gotten the Twitter and Facebook features back active again, and I hope to work on some new posts in the upcoming future. Not sure when I’ll do it, but I do want to start with the forecasts again. Some things have come up that if I can get the tools on my computer, then I may be able to do the podcast with less effort than before.

I think I fixed my RSS fed Twitter and Facebook feeds. So, maybe this will work better.

I’m testing a plugin to send out a ping when I publish it.

Petoskey News-Review – News – Rain delays road construction, Tuesday start expected.

If you are going to be in Emmet County the next few weekends through Labor Day, check out this story from the Petoskey News-Review about road construction.

Looking at the forecasted fronts from HPC, high pressure will continue to stay over northern Michigan through at least Saturday. On Sunday, a warm front gets through central lower Michigan by the morning, so it looks like a chance for rain showers for the day. The thing is, that once the warm front is through, most places will become at least partly sunny for the afternoon with warmer air flooding in.  It looks like that temperatures will start near 80 on Friday, but warm to the mid to upper 80s by Sunday.  So we may be seeing some summer warmth this weekend.

Due to scheduling, I’m hoping to get the forecast and podcast out late tonight. So that it is available by Friday and most folks are heading up north. The only change from the preview on Tuesday is that there is a chance for showers on Saturday as well as Sunday. High temperatures are still in the lower to mid 70s for the weekend.

The computer models and HPC are looking somewhat consistant with the forecast for Friday through Sunday. The main things is that a front moves through Thursday night and then high pressure builds in. Sunday, another front moves in and brings the rain. Friday and Saturday are looking like partly sunny days with the chance of rain showers on Sunday.  High temperatures are expected to be in lower to mid 70s on each day.

With all of the dry air that has been getting into the flow of things, I don’t take many of the 30% chance of rain showers forecasts very seriously, and that’s what is coming up. Friday looks like there will be spotty showers and maybe a thunderstorm around as the front that is supposed to come through on Thursday night will have some residual showers behind it. However, Saturday and Sunday look to be improving with sunny to partly cloudy conditions through the weekend. Temperatures on both days look to be in the lower 70s.
