Leelanau Hills: A Steal of a Deal
The Leelanau Almanac
It's 74 degrees with light rain after some early thundershowers at 8:10 AM at Leelanau Coffee Roasting in Glen Arbor. The record high for a September 1st was 96 in 1953 with the record low of 40 set in 1991. Rain is likely today, maybe with a thunderstorm with highs around 80. Rain & wind is in the picure for tomorrow too. The Labor Day Weekend forecast looks a little worse today with partly sunny skies, a chance of showers and ripping west winds on Friday (gusting up to 45), partly sunny and upper 60s on Saturday and sun and 70 on Sunday and upper 70s on Monday.

Weather Resources
Weather Underground is just about as old as the internet (the first net weather service) and is located in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Sometimes the above banner will show personal weather system data from Leelanau Coffee in Glen Arbor, sometimes from Leland and sometimes it comes from a vineyard on Old Mission (it tells you which in the top left of the page it links to).
Buoy 45002 in Lake Michigan is located halfway between North Manitou Island and Washington Island in Lake Michigan. It provides wind and wave data. Also check out Michigan Sea Grant Coastwatch for water temps (the "early evening" images in their archive will give you a better idea of actual temps during peaks swimming hours … in seasons where you might actually want to swim!).
