The island has its own weather station now, thanks to a Grosse Ile Middle School school science teacher Jason Raupp, his principal, and a generous grant from the Grosse Ile Educational Foundation.
Island residents (and everyone else) can get live weather updates from the station at http://wayne.weatherstem.com/grosseile. The website offers temperature, wind speed and direction, barometer readings, humidity levels, live cloud shots and whole lot of other weather-related information.
