Red Flag Warning issued for parts of Lower Michigan: Here's what that means

...What's a Red Flag Warning?
A term used by fire-weather forecasters to call attention to limited weather conditions of particular importance that may result in extreme burning conditions.

It is issued when it is an on-going event or the fire weather forecaster has a high degree of confidence that Red Flag criteria will occur within 24 hours of issuance...

I covered my tulips last night, which had decided to bloom during the warm weather. No snow came for us but it did get down well below freezing.

All that hype about snow overnight, and we got nothing I changed sheets yesterday - flannels for at least another 2-3 weeks. Furnace continues to churn away as it is still very cold despite the blue skies and bright sun.

It was pretty warm on Friday when we left for the weekend, I didn't think about turning on the heat. When we got home on Sunday, our house was frigid, and took hours to actually warm up...

We had rain off & on yesterday and during the night, but here in Oakland County we didn't get anywhere near the precipitation amounts in Wayne County, particularly Dearborn.

Video shows flooding throughout Metro Detroit

All of our snow has melted too. The older I get the more I think I'll become a snowbird when I retire

Flooding here. The Illinois side is in a bit better shape than Iowa because we built a flood wall after the flood of 93. Davenport Iowa refused to - said clean up was less costly than the prevention, so they are under water now. I heard one of the buildings actually collapsed.

Mississippi sets all-time record, worse than “Great Flood of ’93”

Sound about right! All 4 seasons wrapped up in a day.

They might want to re-visit flood prevention measures.

Northern Lights could be visible in Michigan this week: How to see them

Michiganders could catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights this week.

The Space Weather Prediction Center has issued a G1 geomagnetic storm watch for May 15 and May 16, which means the Aurora Borealis could dip into Michigan...

Seriously, it is supposed to snow again this weekend. So, where is that global warming?

That's a bad 4 letter word to use in the middle of May.
