Weather's Just…Kind Of All Over The Place, I Guess.

A Bit of Everything, Everywhere
It’s…well, it’s a day with a lot going on weather-wise, honestly. Here in Lansing, it's a pretty typical May afternoon. We’ve got a mix of clouds and sun, and it’s currently 45 degrees, though they’re saying we’ll get up to the mid-50s later. There’s a bit of a west wind blowing at about 9 miles per hour, so maybe hold onto your hats? It’s fair enough, I guess.
Grand Rapids seems to be having pretty much the same thing, according to the reports. Not too bad here in Michigan, all things considered.
But, um, it’s not great everywhere. I was reading that there’s still a severe weather threat down in the Deep South after some really bad tornadoes in Mississippi. That sounds…awful. Really awful. And out in Colorado, they've gotten two feet of snow! Two feet! Can you imagine?
It just really highlights how unpredictable things can be, you know? One minute it’s nice and mild, the next…well, the next it’s a lot more. Makes you appreciate a cloudy-but-not-too-cold day, I think. I hope everyone stays safe, wherever they are.
