Murphy's Weather

Currently 27 with an average wind from the SSE of 7 mph. Feels like 19 degrees, Dew Point 26, Barometer 30.07, Humidity 100%, Visibility 8 mi., Sunrise 8:10 am, Sunset 5:10 pm.

70% chance of snow showers. High in the lower 30s. N winds 10-25 with gusts to 25.

Partly cloudy with a low 15-20. N winds 5-10 mph with gusts up to 20 in the evening.

This particular Clipper System managed to leave a reminder of what it was all about measuring around 4 1/2″ of snow in my backyard. Now we can expect the cold temperatures, which will be here over the weekend. Saturday and Sunday will very likely offer us some sunshine, but that will be offset by the frigid temperatures. Monday could bring a chance of rain or snow, but the rest of the week will be coming along with temperatures too warm for any snow for Christmas. Better luck next year, I guess.

Currently 28 with an average wind from the NE of 4 mph. Feels like 28 degrees. Dew Point 25, Barometer 30.3, Humidity 92%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 8:09 am, Sunset 5:10 pm.

70 % chance of snow showers. 1″ or less expected. High in the lower 30s. SE winds around 10 mph with gusts to 20 in the afternoon.

90% chance of snow showers. 1-3″ possible. Low in the upper 20s. E winds 5-10 mph.

As of now, it looks like we might just get clipped by this quick moving Alberta Clipper System. Not expecting a ton of snow from this and it won’t last long anyway. Couple days of snow showers but then by the weekend – which should give us some sunshine – we’ll be in some mighty cold numbers. The weekend before Christmas is always a busy one, but you will need to bundle up while you’re out and about.

Currently 34 with an average wind from the NW of 6 mph. Feels like 34 degrees. Dew Point 30, Barometer 30.17, Humidity 88%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 8:09 am, Sunset 5:10 pm.

Cloudy with a 50% chance of snow showers. High in the mid 30s. N winds around 10 mph.

Mostly cloudy with a 20 % chance of snow showers in the evening becoming partly cloudy overnight. Low in the mid 20s. NW winds 10 mph.

No way out of it, we seem to be in the path of a quick moving Canadian Clipper system. Look for snow, then wind, then cold. Never fear, however, we will come out of it at the other end into more comfortable temperatures. 30s, 40s…looks like a lot of rain coming Christmas week. I know many would like that to be snow but for now it doesn’t look like this will be the picture.

Currently 37 with an average wind of 3 mph from the WSW. Feels like 32 degrees. Dew Point 32, Barometer 30.12, Humidity 87%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 8:08 am, Sunset 5:09 pm.

Cloudy with a high in the upper 30s. W winds 5-15 mph with gusts to around 30 until midday.

60% chance of overnight snow showers. Less than 1″ expected. Low in the lower 30s. Light winds.

Nothing in store for today beyond about what you see this morning. A clipper system in on the way which will be bringing us some snow through Friday and some very cold temperatures for the weekend. After that things will level out somewhat bringing us temperatures that could be in the upper 30s, perhaps lower 40s. Don’t be looking for any snow for Christmas. Not this year. So far it doesn’t look as if it’s a likelihood.

Currently 46 with an average wind from the SE of 5 mph. Feels like 45 degrees. Dew Point 46, Barometer 29.89, Humidity 100%, Visibility 2.1 mi., Sunrise 8:07 am, Sunset 5:09 pm.

90% chance of drizzle with fog throughout the day. High in the upper 40s. S winds 5-10 becoming SW 5-15 in the afternoon with gusts to around 25.

30% chance of overnight rain with evening fog. Low in the lower 30s. W winds 10-15 mph with gusts to 30.

A dreary little Monday this time around. Drizzle coming along as a light mist in the air. At least it isn’t snow. In fact, none today, nor tomorrow. However, the chance of snow showers returns on Wednesday and hangs around until about Sunday. Right now it’s not looking like a white Christmas for our area. Could see temperatures close to or into the lower 40s. Never fear, the cold and snow will without a doubt return to us, just likely not in time for a postcard Christmas this year. Fine with me, but I know not so much for many others. Alas…all we can do is cope with what we get ’cause we don’t have much say in it.

Currently 36 with an average wind from the NE of 3 mph. Feels like 34 degrees. Dew Point 35, Barometer 30.2, Humidity 100%, Visibility 0.5 mi., Sunrise 8:07 am, Sunset 5:09 pm.

Cloudy with a 40% chance of rain showers. Patchy fog through the day. High in the lower 40s. SE winds 5-10 mph with gusts to 20.

Cloudy with a 40% chance of overnight rain showers. Low in the upper 30s. Light winds becoming S 5-10 mph.

What a dreary little day this is. Not complaining ’cause it could be so much worse. December in Michigan? We could be trying to survive through a blizzard. Nothing like that in our immediate future. In fact, tomorrow could see a temperature in the upper 40s. That won’t last, but nothing severe in the coming picture either. Looks like alternating days with some being merely cloudy, some bringing some sort of precipitation. Not making any bets on a White Christmas here this year. Again, as for me, not complaining.

Currently 18 with an average wind from the NE of 5 mph. Feels like 9 mph. Dew Point 17, Barometer 30.66, Humidity 95%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 8:06 am, Sunset 5:08 pm.

Partly cloudy becoming mostly cloudy. High in the lower 30s. E winds 5-15 mph with gusts to around 25.

100% chance of a mix of rain and freezing rain – changing to all rain overnight. Low in the upper 20s. SE winds 10-15 mph with gusts to around 25.

Today should be clear but be cautious later today and into the evening hours. Roads could get slippery with freezing rain falling before turning to all rain. Or, at least that is hope, that it becomes plain rain and not of the freezing variety during the night. At any rate, be careful early tonight and early tomorrow as not certain what you could be driving on. Fairly comfortable temperatures this week before falling back into the 20s next weekend. This coming Monday could even find us in the upper 40s. Only one day of it, but hey…we’ll take what we can get as far as a break from winter’s coldest.

Currently 14 with an average wind from the NE of 1 mph. Feels like 14 degrees. Dew Point 10, Barometer 30.62, Humidity 69%, Visibility 10 mi., Sunrise 8:05 am, Sunset 5:08 pm.

Partly sunny until midday then mostly clearing.  Scattered flurries possible. High in the lower 20s. Light winds.

Partly cloudy with a low 10-15 degrees. E winds around 10 mph with gusts to 20 overnight.

It’s refreshing to see some sunshine. It doesn’t warm the temperature up any on days like this, but it does wonders for the spirit.  Things will be warming up a bit – not an enormous degree, but enough to make a difference on whether we’re avoiding going outside as much as possible to oh yeah…we can do this. Look for some rain off and on during this next week. Don’t be surprised to see some of that be freezing rain, but if that comes about it shouldn’t last long. Not the best weather coming up but so much better than this bitter cold blast of winter we’ve just been forced to live through.

Currently 12 with an average wind from the SW of 5 mph. feels like 3 degrees. Dew Point 13, Barometer 30.22, Humidity 100%, Visibility 5 mi., Sunrise 8:05 am, Sunset 5:08 pm.

60% chance of additional snow showers likely. 1″ or less expected. High near 17. W winds 10-15 mph.

Cloudy early tonight then partial clearing. Very cold. Low near 8 degrees. NW winds 5-10 mph.

Winter Weather Advisory in effect until 7:00 pm today.

There’s no escaping the fact that it’s bitter cold out there. Tonight will be worse. Look for at least a peek at the sun tomorrow and then rain for the next several days. Ought to take out a lot of this snow. But in the meantime, take care if you must be out and about today. I’m sure another cold front will come through eventually this winter – it’s bound to. But this one is tough enough to get through. So just be careful and stay safe.

Currently 30 with an average wind from the SSW of 5 mph. Feels like 27 degrees. Dew Point 27, Barometer 29.8, Humidity 95%, Visibility 9 mi., Sunrise 8:04 am, Sunset 5:08 pm.

100% chance of snow showers. 1-3″ possible. High around 30. W winds 5-15 mph with gusts to 30 in the afternoon.

90% chance of snow showers. 1-3″ possible. Low 10-15. W winds 15-20 with gusts to around 35 mph.

Winter Weather Advisory is in effect until 7:00 pm Thursday. 3-5″ with 35 mph winds.

As of yesterday, this snow wasn’t supposed to start until later today. Wrong! Been snow showering every since I got up this morning.  At least the total snow prediction from this particular system has been lowered. A few days ago it was sounding downright ferocious. Any snow is dangerous when our roads get covered, but lots of inches less than forecast to be shoveling isn’t a bad thing. We could see a peek of the sun on Friday – this sounds like the only opportunity, so if it happens, enjoy it. I know I will.
